Our Inspectors had to emergency destroy a large amount of sheep due to the severity of their injuries and to end their suffering,” the SPCA Vereeniging & Vanderbijlpark’ posted on its Facebook page.
The truck driver escaped injuries, while the uninjured sheep were transported to their end destination.
