Petition is addressed to: The People of South Africa
We call on the relevant authorities—including the South African Police Service, the SPCA, and the National Prosecuting Authority—to:
1. Launch an immediate, thorough, and transparent investigation into the deaths of the three dogs.
2. Lay criminal charges against Piet Geldenhuys under the Animals Protection Act and any other applicable legislation.
3. Ensure that all evidence, witness statements, and veterinary findings are formally documented and acted upon.
4. Hold the perpetrator fully accountable, including prosecution and sentencing appropriate to the nature and severity of the offense.
5. Affirm the legal and moral principle that animal cruelty will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
6. Remove all firearms and firearm licenses held by Piet Geldenhuys
7. His employment with public communication ceased with immediate effect.
Reason
The killing of these dogs is not only an act of cruelty—it is a public safety concern and a moral failure. When individuals can harm animals without consequence, it sets a dangerous precedent and erodes the values of humanity, responsibility, and justice within our communities.
Animal cruelty is a criminal offense. We cannot allow acts of violence to go unchallenged or unpunished.
We stand for justice, compassion, and the belief that every animal deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. Violence against animals cannot be dismissed, excused, or ignored.
By signing this petition, we speak for the voiceless and demand that those responsible for harming them be brought to justice.
Justice for the three dogs. Accountability for the cruelty committed. Protection for every animal in our communities.
