The South African government has one of the most incompetent justice systems worldwide whilst its lack of efficiency exacerbates the effects of animal abuse prevailing in our society.
The majority of cases occur within areas deemed 'underprivileged'; here many individuals are not educated and thus lack respect for any life other than their own.
A common occurrence within these areas includes children killing animals as part of gang initiations; such occurrences have included cats being boiled alive, animals having their feet cut off whilst left to die, being tied onto train tracks, being burnt alive or even being buried alive. These sick acts continue to manifest within the country as government authorities lack any recognisable involvement in implementing change.
Justice needs to be done and laws need to be established. Paying a small fine for such a sick criminal offence should not be accepted within today's society. Please help stand up for change within South Africa; the government needs to act, and it needs to act NOW!
