The National Council of Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NSPCA) said on Monday it successfully obtained a Johannesburg high court interdict against Shane Cooper, Yusuf Ismail, the South African Debate Initiative, Titon Arc Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre, Loving Life Television, and the Pit Bull Special Victims Unit SA.
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.
