The Garden Route SPCA (GRSPCA) has issued an urgent plea for action following two more incidents on the N2 near Pacaltsdorp, where two horses were struck and killed by vehicles within just 24 hours.

The latest tragedy occurred in the early hours of Tuesday morning, 8 July, when a truck hit a horse on the busy highway. Just one day earlier, another horse was killed in the same area in a separate collision, which also left the driver of an Isuzu bakkie seriously injured and in need of hospitalisation.

The continued presence of animals on the N2 and in residential areas has long been a serious concern.
