Manenberg man arrested for bestality
Manenberg police have arrested a 23-year-old man, after a video that has gone viral, showed how he raped a dog.
SPCA Chief Inspector Jaco Pieterse said the man was taken
into police custody and the welfare organisation has laid criminal charges
against him for bestiality and animal cruelty.

inspectors after being forwarded by concerned members of the community. The SPCA immediately investigated the
incident and within mere hours was able to trace the man to his home address in
Manenberg, Cape Town where an arrest was made.’’
“Thanks to the full support of the Manenberg SAPS and the
City of Cape Town’s Law Enforcement and Metro Police, the perpetrator of this
heinous crime was arrested just hours after we received this sickening
footage,” added Pieterse.
He said the SPCA removed the young dog from the property.
‘’In addition to evidence of having suffered horrendous
sexual abuse, the puppy was also confined to a small wooden box and forced to
live in otherwise deplorable conditions,” said Pieterse.

Cape of Good Hope SPCA and will remain in safekeeping. When one considers a
crime of this nature, we must not forget that the link between gender-based
violence (GBV) and animal abuse is highlighted,” he added.
The animal welfare organisation urged communities to report
animal cruelty and cases of bestiality.
