Cape of Good Hope 133rd Annual Report 2011

Without a doubt one of the highlights of the

year was receiving funding from the National

Lottery Distribution Trust Fund (NLDTF) for the

construction of a new Short-Term Wildlife Care

Facility at the SPCA in Grassy Park. Just under

R4 million was awarded to us for this critical

new facility, which once completed will serve

Cape Town’s wildlife for many years to come.

We hope you enjoy reading this review, which

can only give you a flavour of the progress the

CoGH SPCA has made in the past fiscal year. We

are both extremely proud of the Society and the

activities described in the following pages and

we hope you are too.

Dr John Oakley Allan Perrins

As the world celebrated South Africa’s successful

hosting of the FIFA World Cup, our celebrations

were for the imminent finalisation of the City of

Cape Town’s new Animal Control by-laws. Since it

was first proposed three years ago, our SPCA has

played a leading role in drafting and advocating

for a comprehensive set of laws that will

strengthen our ability to help prevent cruelty and

protect animals. It is by no means a perfect piece

of legislation, but it is a huge improvement on

what existed before and if adequately enforced

will have a significant positive impact on the lives

and well-being of animals in the city.

Whilst the recession has affected our efforts

to grow income more than we have, it has also

resulted in a greater number of animals being

abandoned and fewer people being able to afford

to adopt and give an animal a second chance in a

loving new home. However, despite the drop in

our adoption numbers, our commitment to keep

encouraging Capetonians to adopt rather than

buy a pet has continued.

ForewordDespite the past year being one of the most

challenging yet, the Cape of Good Hope SPCA

has continued to positively change and improve

the lives of thousands of animals.

through an efficient mobile clinic service;

Offer professional veterinary treatment for

sick and injured animals, through a large

animal hospital, which prioritises those who

cannot afford private veterinary care;

To educate young learners on responsible pet

care and the humane treatment of animals;

To inspire and motivate people to stand up

for animals and to give of their time, talents,

energy and resources in the name of animal

welfare.

To advocate for changes in laws and policies

to benefit animals;

Everyday these three words motivate the

dedicated team of staff and volunteers at the

Cape of Good Hope SPCA to do all they can

and more, to help animals.

Speak, protect and care

As the largest and oldest SPCA in South Africa, we

rely almost entirely on donations and legacies to

fund our R20 million plus annual running costs.

The Cape of Good Hope SPCA is a registered

non-profit organisation, which each year touches

the lives of more animals than any other animal

welfare organisation in the Western Cape. We

believe passionately in improving the well-being

of all animals and work tirelessly to prevent

cruelty and foster compassion and care.

Our priorities are to:-

Prevent cruelty to all animals;

Rescue animals from crisis and distress;

Provide care and shelter

for abandoned, stray

and surrendered

animals;

Reunite and adopt

animals into loving

homes with a

responsible owner;

Provide primary

veterinary healthcare

to animals in poor

communities,

The men and women in the SPCA’s Inspectorate

are on the frontline in our fight against animal

cruelty. Every day they face challenging,

intimidating and often threatening situations

where animals are at risk. In order for them to

adequately handle these encounters and ensure

that those responsible for animal abuse are held

accountable, they must be skilled and trained.

In the past year four Trainee Inspectors

successfully qualified through the NSPCA

Inspectors course and a further three are

nearing qualification.

In-house training has been prioritised (to

include Trainee Inspectors from other SPCAs

and animal welfare organisations);

Quality assurance is their ‘modus operandi’.

Frontline animals

Preventing animal cruelty includes disaster risk management planning.The demolition of the Athlone cooling towers

in August was successfully used to test the

effectiveness of the Disaster Animal Rescue Unit

(DARU), which works within Cape Town Disaster

Risk Management. The unit includes the SPCA

and other animal welfare groups, who cooperate

on disaster preparedness and response.

The SPCA also advised on the animal welfare

components of the Koeberg Nuclear Evacuation

Plan and took part in a preparedness response

exercise. Disaster planning was also carried out

for potential poultry transportation accidents as

well as shack and veld fires and floods.

In addition to speaking to hundreds of animal

owners on responsible animal care during their

daily work, their initiatives include:

Combating cruelty through educational

talks in schools and at community

gatherings;

Increasing the number of pro-active

outreaches in communities;

Increasing Inspectorate

visibility in informal settle-

ments around Cape Town.

Before taking punitive action, SPCA Inspectors will educate first to effect a change in behaviour and attitude.

action for

Almost 5000 cruelty investigations were carried

out in the past year by a team of 16 Inspectors

and four animal collection officers.

Dog fighting issues remain a scourge within

our societies and inroads were made to eradicate

these heinous acts of animal cruelty. A task team,

comprising of various law enforcement agencies,

together with the SPCA Inspectorate, continued to

work tirelessly to bring the perpetrators to book.

The SPCA will not hesitate to lay charges against

anyone who contravenes the Animal Protection

Act, where preventative and corrective measures

have not been adhered to, or in cases which

involve any acts of cruelty. Whilst the rate of

conviction is low, this does not deter us from

taking punitive action against those who harm

animals or neglect their needs.

A woman, who strangled her two dogs to death

in November 2009, was found guilty on charges of

animal cruelty. She was committed to a psychiatric

evaluation centre.

Two men arrested in May 2010 for hunting

illegally with their dogs in Philippi Nature Reserve,

were found guilty on five charges, including

maiming an animal. They received a R10 000

fine, suspended for three years.

A man who allegedly castrated his

own dog in Mitchell’s Plain will soon

face charges of animal cruelty in

court. His Boerbul, Bobby recovered

from his severe wounds at the SPCA

Animal Hospital, before being

adopted to a new loving home.

The owners of a menagerie of animals found

in a filthy warehouse in Parow Industria have

been charged with alleged animal cruelty. The

22 rescued animals included two dogs (pugs),

10 cats, seven racing pigeons, two Egyptian

geese and a Cockatiel.

SPCA Inspectors obtained an urgent Court

Order to seize a dog, barricaded in its kennel

on a blistering day in January. The animal was

severely dehydrated and had to spend a few

days in the SPCA Animal hospital. The SPCA has

pressed charges and hopes the magistrate will

permanently deny the owner ownership of

animals as a result of his

alleged inhumane action.

The dog survived and

was rehomed.

Go-ahead for Short-term Wildlife Care facility

Wildlife rescues

The National Lottery Distribution Trust

Fund (NLDTF) awarded just under R4 million

to the CoGH SPCA for the development of Cape

Town’s first formal Short-Term Wildlife Care

Facility. We plan to construct an environmentally-

friendly facility, designed around the needs of the

animals and run by an experienced team of staff

and volunteers.

Calls to remove snakes are frequently received by

the Inspectorate control centre and this past year

the Wildlife Unit has successfully moved 139

snakes out of harms way. The largest was a 2.8m

pet Burmese Rock python kept by a Sangoma

who said he used it to “speak to the ancestors

about the FIFA World Cup”. The snake was found

in a shack - underweight, dehydrated and

suffering from mouth rot and pneumonia. Luckily

she survived her ordeal and the owner faces

charges from the SPCA.

The SPCA Wildlife Unit serves a critical

role in responding to reports of displaced,

injured and sick wildlife and investigating

reports of cruelty.

With a large proportion of our district made up

of a long coastline, several nature reserves and a

Monitoring captive wildlife facilities

Ensuring humane treatment

The Wildlife Unit keeps a watchful

eye on zoos, pet shops, aquaria and

other captive wildlife facilities within

our district. The two most notable

establishments are Tygerberg Zoo

and Monkey Town, which are

steadily improving living conditions

for their animals.

As part of our ongoing monitoring of

wildlife on Robben Island, the wild-

life team monitored the safe and

injury-free relocation of 81 Fallow

Deer from Robben Island to Lions

Rock Sanctuary in the Free State.

www.spca-ct.co.za/horse

More than just a stable yard, the SPCA Horse Care

Unit is a refuge for neglected and abandoned

equines, whose lives are restored by the

dedicated, patient efforts of many.

Two full-time Inspectors work almost exclusively

on equine and farm animal issues. During the

past year they inspected 1610 equines of which

106 were confiscated from neglected or abusive

circumstances. In a few cases the SPCA was able

to educate the owners on responsible care and

return their animals once improvements were

made, but in some situations the animals were

permanently removed and charges laid.

Horse Matters

The largest case resulted in the SPCA seizing 72

Thoroughbred horses at Arrowpoint Stud in the

Breede Valley, following numerous inspections

where the owner and resident management were

warned that conditions were unacceptable. The

animals were eventually returned under strict

conditions and the High Court awarded costs to

the SPCA.

Four other cases of equine cruelty are

currently pending.

the commitment of the Unit’s volunteers and staff, who spent hundreds of

hours working with these animals, rebuilding their trust in people and

helping them recover from an often horrific past.

Last year also saw the launch of REHORP (Rehoming of Ex-Race Horses

Project), which was initiated by the Western Cape Equine Trust. The Trust is

the Unit’s primary sponsor and thanks to their joint efforts, 33 ex-racehorses

whose racing careers are over, were surrendered to the SPCA and then

adopted to loving new homes.

The Western Cape Equine Trust has continued to partner with

the SPCA in securing funding for the Unit. Their monthly

contribution and the personal efforts of a number of

their committee members, who also volunteer at

the Unit, has resulted in the Unit having

a particularly successful year.

Inspecting living conditions More farm animals are used than any other

group or type of animals in South Africa (over

600 million per annum). Most are kept on large

commercial farms where prescribed welfare

standards are monitored by the SPCA.

Thousands more are kept by subsistence

farmers in and around the City of Cape Town,

in conditions far removed from the rolling

green pastures in rural farmlands.

SPCA Inspectors regularly remove stray cattle

and goats left to graze dangerously on the side of

major highways; confiscate chickens kept in filthy

conditions with no food and water from roadside

markets and regularly take in neglected sheep.

During the past year three confiscations involving

173 farm animals were conducted and 170 cases

of cruelty to livestock were investigated.

constructed at the CoGH SPCA, which is

providing shelter for surrendered, stray and

confiscated livestock. The new facility is not

just a functional, working unit for rescued or

rehabilitating livestock, it’s also of important

educational value and enables the SPCA to

show children, the farmers of tomorrow, how

to properly care for farm animals and the

benefits of proper care and informed

sterilisation.

Ongoing operational costs of running the

facility will in part be covered by a monthly

donation from the Sedgwick family.

Cats and dogs may constitute a large

proportion of our efforts, but the welfare

of animals such as cows, pigs, sheep and

chickens is just as important to the Cape

of Good Hope SPCA.

Every day SPCA collection officers, Inspectors and

Metro police arrive at the SPCA facility in Grassy

Park, with vans full of dogs and cats, that have

either been picked up as stray or surrendered into

our care. Others are admitted by caring members

of the public and still more handed over by our

mobile clinic operators, which serve indigent

communities.

More stray and unwanted dogs and cats are

brought to this SPCA than to any other animal

welfare organisation in the Western Cape.

A small percentage of the stray animals

admitted are owned and thanks to the efforts of

our Lost and Found department, 582 dogs and

cats were reunited with their owners last year.

Despite the massive influx of animals, each

one is treated compassionately and a thorough

veterinary examination by one of our three vets,

determines whether the animal is in good enough

health to be rehomed, if it is not claimed after

10 days.

Unfortunately the vast majority come to us

sick, diseased, injured and/or old and we cannot

put them forward for adoption, as their life

expectancy is poor and the resources required to

nurture them back to health are exorbitant.

Currently the cost of caring for stray and

www.spca-ct.co.za/adopt

TheAnimal carers

TheAnimal carers

discarded animals is entirely funded by public

donations.

The task of admitting and assessing so many

animals that have been badly neglected or just

discarded, takes a huge toll on the SPCA Kennel

and Hospital staff, who work tirelessly to try to

give as many animals as possible a second

chance of a good life.

Those that are assessed as suitable for adoption

go through a behavioural assessment and the

vast majority of animals that move into our

adoption block will remain there until adopted.

A huge amount of dedicated effort is spent on

trying to source good homes for animals awaiting

adoption. Our website is where many people will

go to look for a new pet and so we keep

photographs and descriptions of our animals

regularly updated.

We have also worked hard to streamline the

adoption process to make it quick and easy for a

person to apply and go home with their new pet.

Whilst we have seen a decline in adoptions this

past year, which we believe is as a direct result of

the recession, the rate of animals being returned

after adoption is only 2%, thus indicating that a

thorough adoption process, which aims to match

the right animal with each adopter, is essential.

The inherent dangers of working in impoverished

communities have sometimes necessitated them

changing venues when areas become too

dangerous to operate in.

Despite the risks, the Animal Welfare Assistants

(AWA) who run the mobile clinics continue to take

the SPCA to the poorest of the poor and in so

doing prevent immeasurable suffering and pain.

This enormous task has been made possible,

largely thanks to the magnanimous support of the

Dangwen Trust and the Airports Company South

Africa: Cape Town International. ACSA has

awarded significant funding to the SPCA Mobile

Clinic programme for the past three

years. Their commitment to support

this work, which improves the

health and welfare of people and

animals in impoverished commun-

ities, is exemplary of a

company which acts on its

commitment to support

community projects.

52 032 dogs and cats and their financially

strapped owners were the direct beneficiaries of

the SPCA’s subsidised veterinary services, which

includes the Animal Hospital in Grassy Park and a

fleet of four mobile clinics serving impoverished

communities.

Despite the recession and lack of financial

support from government, we have continued to

help many sick and injured animals, at vastly

subsidised rates.

The SPCA mobile clinic service performed well over

the past year and the four operators

strove to bring in as many sterilisations

as possible. They often meet with

some resistance, given that breeding

is a source of income for many

owners. In addition to offering basic

treatments and dipping animals to

prevent ticks, fleas and mange, they spend

a lot of time educating owners on animal care and

the importance of sterilisation.

Primary health care clinics

The “all women” veterinary team in the Hospital

has worked hard to raise standards of care and

provide ongoing training for AWAs and orderlies,

who have learnt new techniques and improved

methods of treatment over the year.

All four theatre orderlies passed an external

Theatre AWA Examination and are authorised

under the South African Veterinary Council.

During the year they sterilised 5 899 dogs and

cats and in so doing made a significant impact on

reducing pet over-population in the City of Cape

Town. Routine and life-saving surgery was carried

out on 4 708 animals, whose owners pay a

subsidised rate dependent on their level of

income.

The vast majority of animals which

pass through the animal hospital,

which is open 7 days a week, are

seen by AWAs in the day clinics.

of this programme, which now incorporates

classroom activity booklets in English and Xhosa

and two new puppet shows tailored to ‘speak’ to

backgrounds. There are other fun, interactive

elements to the programme, which has been

approved as curriculum-based for Foundation

phase learners by the Western Cape Department

of Education. The new programme will be rolled

out from the beginning of May 2011.

Humane education is vital for children to become responsible, compassionate and caring adults – not just of animals but of their fellow human beings too.

The ResultsOur financial results for the year to end March

2011 were heavily skewed by the receipt of the

capital of a Trust (of which we had been an income

beneficiary for many years), which was terminated.

This once-off very large capital sum amounted to

over R11.5 million and has been added to the long

term reserve assets on the society’s balance sheet

and conservatively invested to ensure the capital

can grow, while delivering a steady but growing

income stream to fund our operating activities in

the decades that lie ahead.

Stripping out the impact of this single receipt,

to get a clearer picture of the operational

performance of the organisation, reveals a less

successful financial year, although this was

partly intentional.

Income

Operational income (excluding the trust

distribution referred to above) increased by 10%

to R15.7 million. Notably following a Board

decision, the Hospital implemented a more robust

almoning system, to ensure we are consistently

and predominantly attending to only genuinely

needy cases, rather than offering a cut-price

veterinary service to people who in reality should

be served by a private practice. As a consequence,

Hospital revenue was flat for the year, while costs

rose slightly. Our Adoptions unit, despite a

disappointing year from a number of adoptions

perspective, managed to control costs very well.

Our Fundraising team achieved several

milestones, notable amongst these were securing

funding from the National Lottery Distribution

Trust Fund (NLDTF) for the building of a Short-term

Wildlife Care Facility (R3.9 million approved with

building plans submitted and construction to start

in the next few months) as well as NLDTF funding

for the day-to-day work of our Inspectorate. Some

of this income is reflected in the financials

presented here and the rest will be evident in the

2012 accounts. In addition they achieved

significant growth in income from our in-house

direct tele-marketing team, acceleration in mail

appeal donors, following a refresh over the last

two years to our approach and record results from

our major community events (i.e. SPCA Royal Canin

Wiggle Waggle and SPCA Purina Woefie Wandel).

Our Vet Shop in Gabriel Road Plumstead reached

breakeven during the second half of the year and

we confidently expect it to start contributing to

our funding requirements in the new financial year.

Expenditure

Total expenses of R20.5 million were 9.5% higher

than the previous year. The largest contributory

factors to the increase were an average 5%

increase to salaries, which in total comprises about

60% of overall operating costs, as well as certain

additional costs such as extra expenditure on feed

in the Horse Care Unit, which is a function of that

unit’s success in handling more animals and the

establishment of the Farmyard towards the end

of the year.

Capital Expenditure during the year was limited

to replacement and maintenance expenditure of

various aspects of the Grassy Park facilities and our

hard working vehicle fleet.

Investments

Income from investments was lower than the

previous year and was caused by lower interest

rates and lower average cash balances. More

importantly 2012 should see this number rise

substantially as the income from the capital

received from the terminating trust (mentioned

above) is received directly. Our reserve capital

assets now stand at over R45 million, which

represents more than 2 years operating costs,

and provides a strong foundation from which

each year’s operating activities can be planned.
