The rams were part of a shipment to Kuwait on a converted car carrier, the ageing Al Messilah, and scheduled for live slaughter. They were confiscated by the NSPCA and moved to a place of safety where they were provided with veterinary treatment.
The SPCA descended on the Bhongweni community in East London on Monday and Tuesday, collecting 15 dogs from the area after a boerboel-type dog attacked a nine-year-old last week. The community was up in arms after the attack, with some members threatening to remove all pit bulls from the area by force if necessary.
