ROBBEN ISLAND PRISONERS FREED: ANIMALS SENTENCED TO DEATH:
As this is being written, hired "career" gunmen are shooting "alien"animals on Robben Island, which started on 12th October, after the tourist buses leave, from dusk to dawn every day, until all are dead. The "crime" that these animals have committed is that they are considered to be "aliens" and therefore not worthy of life. What exactly is an "alien?"

The Question is often posed as to whether animals have a right to life. At Adopt-a-Pet all animals which come into our care are considered to be worthy of life. We do not have a "selection" policy which discards animals because they may be considered too young, or too old, or too ugly, or too sick, or "unhomeable." We will do whatever is necessary to ensure that a rescued animal obtains the best veterinary and behaviourist treatment which may be required.
