Organisation's plea over abandoned dogs in Phoenix
The Phoenix Animal Care and Treatment Organisation is asking members of the public to take down the number plates of cars that stop to dump dogs.
Another puppy was left abandoned in the Clayfield area in Phoenix yesterday.
Several other dogs have been run over in recent weeks after being discarded in certain areas.
According the the organisation's Neeri Naidoo, there are about four hotspots in Phoenix where animals are flung out of car windows.
''Park areas or little grounds that have buses - where the animal will be concealed in. Sometimes people have animals that are injured and then they will leave an injured crying animal in a bush until someone walking by hears it.
"Some of them are in bad shape more so from the way they are flung out of the vehicle than from the actual initial injury, sometimes we just can't save them.
"There's a lack of laws that protect our animals,'' she said.
She says she receives about five calls a day from people witnessing animals being dumped at these hotspots.
