The Hout Bay Seal Rescue Centre (HBSRC) denounces attacks on seals after yet another one of the animals was brutally killed allegedly by people who thought it was infected with rabies.
Given that this is the first documented rabies infection in a marine mammal population, there remain many uncertainties, said the city, ahead of World Rabies Day on Saturday.
Listen, we know we’re a fun country to skinner about, but international news outlets occasionally take their reporting on South African stories to sensational heights.
If it’s not clear already that we need to leave wild animals be, then perhaps a case of rabies will put a person off for good.
Despite the seriousness of the disease, the Cape of Good Hope SPCA has urged everyone not to panic.
