Animal Cops: South Africa
July 22, 2008 by Healthy Shana
Animal Cops: South Africa is a new series that premiered on June 6th. The show is around the cases that the SPCA in South Africa’s Cape of Good Hope are investigating and handling.
The Cape of Good Hope SPCAis a community-run NGO and is a member of the NSPCA (National Council of SPCAs). The Cape of Good Hope SPCA became part of the Animal Cops Show after Animal Planet commissioned a South African Version of the series, based on Animal Cops Houston and Animal Precinct, and Animal Cops Detroit.
Have not seen the programme yet but would like to know how, many of us could help aleaviate the plite of our animals around Cape Town. I watch the American version all the time and was hoping that something similar could be set up in Cape Town.

How to join animal cops south africa
Great what you’re doing for our animals in South Africa. I’ve always watched the American show and thought it would be nice to start something similar in South Africa. Are you thinking of spreading down to Johannesburg? I would like to join as I have a passion for animals and their well-being.
Hi Leonie
At this time I’m not sure what the show has planned.
I would like to know what you would need to study to become a animal cop and were these courses can be found.Please could you give me info.
I was so excited when animal cops SA was announced! I am a HUGE animal lover – they are like my children. I’ll watch every series IF I can, instead of watching something else. There is one thing that bothers me tremendously and that breaks my heart – we have such a huge shortage of funds, that from the last few episodes that I have seen, the worst emaciated and neglected animals could not be saved due to the fact that SA is not equipped with the necessary first aid equipment on the spot! There are no proper equipped transport for the animals to be taken to the vet. I have not once seen that SA do first aid on the spot! SA only have small ordinary “bakkies”, without any air conditioned cages, to keep them stable. I feel that more effort should be done, to SAVE an animal; does not matter in what state it may be, and put up for adoption, instead of humanly euthanize them, because they are “beyond saving” Look at Mexico, Phoenix, some cases are beyond worse, – but they saved the dog, even if it took the vet 3 months! Why, because they have the equipment vans, the “on the spot medical aid” the hospitals are like 5 stars treatment. Please save our four legged “children” and educated the people – otherwise they are not worthy of having pets!
