Restrict Domestic Animal Breeding

Enough is Enough!

The Domestic Animal Crisis in South Africa deepens with every day that passes. Due to a number of factors, including financial hardship, emigration, and the new by-laws promulgated in 2010, Animal Shelters are overflowing, Welfare organisations are broke and the situation is worsening.

This is compounded by the fact that there is still no legislation preventing breeding in private homes, and no sterilisation legislation in Johannesburg, despite overwhelming evidence that indiscriminate breeding is the root cause of the number of unwanted animals in South Africa.

We believe it is time for the Johannesburg Municipality to introduce legislation that will restrict domestic animal breeding as well as arm animal welfare organisations to police it since the SAPS have more pressing priorities. (South African citizens or residents only please)
