The Cape of Good Hope SPCA said the incident took place on October 16 when Inspector Lwazi Ntungele and members of the Strand SAPS executed a warrant to remove four dogs from a property where they were allegedly kept in severe neglect.
The warrant comes after they received a complaint about a dog suffering from a serious skin condition.
