SPCA in dire need
Organisation faced with continuing expense as the bills pile up Refilwe Mochoari
THE animal welfare organisation, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) in Welkom, is in extreme financial trouble. With not a cent in its bank account, the organisation that is currently looking after 108 animals is faced with a water and electricity bill of over R350 000. Margaret Lauder, chairperson of the Welkom SPCA, says the organisation is in serious trouble. “We need money urgently. We do not have money to pay the vet, we do not have money to buy food, we do not have petrol and we have absolutely no money to pay our staff’s salaries. “We ran out of money, because we receive daily phone calls from the community informing us about abandoned animals, giving cruelty reports from all over town and as part of our mandate we have to act on these calls. “As an animal welfare organisation it is our duty to protect animals and therefore we do it. We travel long distances to collect and save unwanted pets and this is a strain on us, because the fuel price is high. “Money goes out, but does not come in. As a result we have no money in our bank account. “We do not receive any subsidies or funding from government, so we depend on the support of the community. “Fortunately over the past few days we have been receiving food from regular donors, so at the moment the animals are not hungry. “We are appealing for financial assistance to support the SPCA in Welkom. “Electricity, telephone service and fuel are very important for us to carry out our daily task of protecting animals and the expense for this is necessary. “We therefore appeal to everyone, especially in and around the Welkom area, to do all they can to help keep us operational. “We are asking for donations of food, blankets or any unwanted goods that may be sold to raise funds.” ) See p. 9 for a story about a means of fundraising for the Welkom SPCA that took place on Saturday. ) What do you think can be done to help the Welkom SPCA survive their time of misery?
