LSPCA, with the help of the Malawi Police, confiscated 6
dogs from Universal Security Company last week.
The dogs were found in a broken down vehicle which had been transferring
them from where they had been guarding. Someone saw the dogs in the car and, concerned
about their health, called LSPCA Veterinarian Sophie to inform her about the
situation. An LSPCA employee was sent to
get the Police and, after inquiring what the problem was, it was found that the
dogs had been kept there in the sun for over 5 hours without any food or water. The police took the dogs to LSPCA where they
are being treated for skin problems and dehydration. Already, there is a notable improvement in
their health. The company involved is being investigated.
Lilongwe Society for the Protection and Care of Animals was the first animal welfare charity in Malawi caring for domestic, farm and wild animals. Begun in 2008 with the full support of the Ministry of Agriculture and the financial assistance from the Royal Society for the Prevention to Cruelty of Animals (RSPCA International), now LSPCA is celebrating five years of community service.
