SPCA 'still going strong'

Cape Town - The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals hastened on Wednesday to quell rumours that it was shutting its doors - either locally or nationally.

According to Allan Perrins, acting senior manager for the Cape of Good Hope SPCA, the organisation had been swamped with calls from worried people after a hoax e-mail was sent out, saying the SPCA was having to close down.

The hoax e-mail was headed "The SPCA is closing down" in the subject field. In the e-mail it said that, despite promises, the SPCA was not getting money from the national Lotto organisation.

The e-mail appeals to people to sign a petition to be sent to a specific e-mail address and also to pass the petition on to others.

According to the national SPCA, they and other animal welfare organisations have received Lotto contributions in the past few years.

It is believed the motive behind the e-mail is to gather addresses to form a database for spam mail.
