SPCA shelters 38 "abused" cattle, owner faces animal cruelty charges

The SPCA has taken charge of 38 neglected and starving cattle from a rural Nyazura farm.  The owner of the farm is to be charged with animal cruelty, after the cattle were found in “filthy” conditions.

Mutare Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) chairperson Lynne James said:

Right at the moment, our immediate concern is to move the 38 head of cattle — one being a brand new calf — to a safe haven for their best recovery, and we plan to do that this week.

On the legal side, the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act (Chapter 19.09) is a very strong Act and covers the issues pertaining to cruelty cases such as these,

…three animals are about to be euthanised, one of which fell into a pit and has been stuck in it for days. No one has been tending to these animals as we are told that their (farm workers) wages have not been paid.
