Meet FaFa, an innocent pet spooked by a loud bang. The Animal Welfare Society of SA has a strong suspicion that it might have been a cracker that caused FaFa to panic and flee, which caused him to become impaled on the garden fence.
His owner found him hanging from the top of the fence, writhing in pain with one of the metal spikes through his penis. The pain was so excruciating and he was so frightened that he wouldn’t allow anyone near him so they called the Animal Welfare Society of SA for help.
“What happened to FaFa was avoidable and should serve as a stark reminder as to the potential dangers of revelling with fireworks,” says the Animal Welfare Society of SA.
FaFa is back home, but he will never really be the same and the Animal Welfare Society of SA implores everyone to please heed their many warnings and to kindly refrain from any form of celebration that involves fireworks – especially crackers that terrify animals.
To report any acts of animal cruelty please call (021) 692 2626 or 082 601 1761.
