WTF Is wrong with humans?? :mad:

JOHANNESBURG – The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) on Thursday confirmed one of the giraffe which was transported on the highway in Centurion has died.

The SPCA’s Rick Allan said, “All we can ascertain at this stage is severe head trauma. We are continuing our investigation with the view to possibly lay criminal charges against those responsible.”

Eyewitnesses earlier said they saw one giraffe knock its head as the truck drove under a bridge.

The animals were then stuck at the back of a truck on the freeway.

This after the vehicle they were being transported in broke down.

Just a few kilometers down the highway, another truck carrying cattle also broke down when it lost a tyre.

Allan says SPCA officials are attending to the 400 cattle at the Lynnwood offramp in Pretoria.

The body says the animals have been stuck for over five hours.

I hope these ****ers get arrested and put in jail. Such horrible stupid people.
 
Imagine how pissed off the buyer of these animals must be now. How idiotic do you need to be not to realize driving under a bridge will prob decapitate these animals? /facepalm

Especially after that scene in the Hangover Part III...

But I really hope the SPCA nails the driver, the transport company and everyone else involved...

How BIG was this truck?
 
I was skeptical that this was a sick joke but now I am just full on disturbed by this inhumane treatment of these animals.

Someone must pay.
 
Where do these idiots come from ?
They should be neutered so they have no offspring . :mad:
 
Usually with a high load you plan your route. The planning was not strong with this one.

/facepalm

Yes, and I bet you the driver of the truck has more education than the guy trying to govern South Africa!
There's your problem!
