Pretoria police and members of the SPCA today removed 44 dogs and 24 cats from a home in Valhalla while their owner begged that her “children” not be taken from her.

Community Safety spokesperson Console Tleane says they had informed Maria Phelan and her husband John that keeping so many animals was against health regulations and bylaws.

The couple were fined six-thousand-500 rands for five offences including waste management resulting in the "stench" and the many animals which had caused a nuisance.
