Nood groot by diereskuilings
Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - Die Orkney & Klerksdorp Diereskuiling is oorstroom - die vyfde keer vanjaar.
“Verlede week het ons boonop ons bakkie verloor. Dit is onophoudelik en net nog kwessies en probleme,” het Diane Jacobs van die skuiling gesê.
Die skuiling is steeds gesluit omdat hulle nie meer diere kon akkommodeer of diere in nood kon help nie aangesien hulle nie vervoer het nie.
Vir die diere wat tans in hul sorg is, doen sy ‘n beroep op enige skenking vir kos en komberse en enige hulp. “Die diere is veilig, nat en sommige in die water. Ons probeer net oor die volgende paar dae kom en hoop die weer sal later hierdie week opklaar. Ons gaan nie veel langer oorleef as dit aanhou nie.”
