Elderly man held for sex with dog
ON THE RISE: STRING OF BESTIALITY ATTACKS RECENTLY
Suspect believed to have performed on multiple animal species.
Aman has been arrested and denied bail after the Mareetsane community flagged the latest in a suspected string of bestiality attacks. Reports of bestiality have increased under lockdown, according to National Council of SPCAs (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) special investigations unit manager Wendy Wilson. This could be because more people are forced to stay home and consequently observe and report more of these incidents.
An elderly man recently had bail denied after being accused of sexually assaulting a dog in the North West.
After being contacted by the police, the NSPCA’s special investigations unit offered guidance in the investigation and dispatched a national inspector to rescue the dog.
This also allowed for scene evidence and sample collections to be done thoroughly.
Wilson said that although it is not yet known if the dog he attacked was a repeated offence, it is alleged that the man has performed bestiality on multiple animal species.
The case in question involves a young female cross-breed dog now named Liquorice.
Wilson said Liquorice is currently under the observation of a behaviourist and a veterinarian, but that she is a forgiving, good-natured animal.
“She’s managed to survive and is not aggressive.
“She is the most amazing dog and so forgiving. She is not going to hold a grudge, and will march forward into her new future. “She has already won everyone over, and we hope to get her a great home.”
According to Wilson, the process of adopting an animal that has endured such a traumatic ordeal involves her future owners understanding victimology and picking an ideal home that will support her physically and mentally to bring out the best in her.
“I think she’s going to be fine. She’s just one of those special dogs that goes through the worst and still smiles into the future.” –
