Gweru barred from killing stray donkeys

The High Court has issued an order barring the killing of stray donkeys and dogs in Gweru urban following an application by animal rights organisation, the Zimbabwe National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ZNSPCA).

The order by Justice Benjamin Chikowero came about after ZNSPCA approached the court seeking an order to rescind the council’s decision to kill stray dogs and donkeys, whose numbers keep multiplying and pose a threat to motorists and residents.

Gweru residents recently approached council seeking a solution on stray animals.
