‘We feel we failed Brody’

This is what New Year’s “fun”caused!

“At the Bloemfontein SPCA we were extremely busy this new year’s eve. Almost every five minutes we received an emergency call about animals in need, but we feel we failed Brody”.

Brody comes from a small town about 120 km from Bloemfontein, called Winburg. The Bloemfontein SPCA received a call from an old lady who informed them that she saw three children of about ten years old holding down a dog and putting fireworks in the dog’s ears. She said tried to chase the children down but couldn’t. She said she even started crying, hoping that they would stop but it didn’t work. She heard a big bang followed by Brody’s screaming and the childrens laughter.
It was 05:00 when she called the SPCA, who immediately went there to search for Brody.   “We searched for hours but couldn’t find him”.

Three days later they received a call from a member of Winburg that he had found a puppy (Brody) in a manhole. He was badly injured and his his ear was almost off.
“It is hard to imagine that children can be so cruel at such a young age. Brody was very scared and extremely hurt. At the moment we cannot tell, but only hope that one day he will trust a human again”.

When the Veterinarian looked at Brody, she was shocked by what she found. There were maggots in the wound and severe infection.

“Brody needs this operation to save his life and to live a normal life. We ask desperately for a donation to help Brody for his operation and medication. It will cost R10 000 but we had a few cents left and paid R1 000, but we still need R9 000. We ask the public to please help us to help Brody”.
