ANIMALS 101 – MISMANAGED TRASH HAS A DEVASTATING EFFECT ON THE ENVIRONMENT, BUT ALSO A HIGH RISK FOR INJURY OR DEATH TO ANIMALS.
Even though you might throw your trash in the garbage bin, where they land eventually can still impact the environment and hurt animals. Littering, in general, is bad for the environment, but today we will focus on what you can do when disposing of litter in your garbage bin, to prevent animals from suffering.
HOW DOES LITTER AFFECT ANIMALS?
Litter can negatively affect animal life in many ways.
One of the most common effects of litter on animals is entanglement. Animals of all shapes and sizes can find themselves trapped and hurt by various waste products, especially plastic ones, leading to severe injuries or even death if they can’t escape.
It is easy for wildlife to mistake small pieces of plastic for food since there are millions of them floating in our oceans forming huge garbage patches. Sea turtles, for example, are often found trying to eat plastic bags because they resemble jellyfish, one of their natural prey. Ingesting litter can cause direct harm to an animal’s internal organs, force starvation by filling its stomach and intestines with indigestible material, decrease its mobility, and poison it to the point of sickness or death.
Modern-day garbage dumps, which are full of harmful products and chemicals, are emerging as a serious threat to animal and plant life and are leading to a shift in the food, behaviour and reporductive habits of wild animals.
Fish, who are unable to reverse, might swim into plastic and suffocate.
Some animals hide in garbage for shelter and may get trapped or injured.
Litter on the road can cause animals to be hit by cars.

Everyday items such as soda cans and plastic bottles can be deadly for unsuspecting wildlife and even for your cats and dogs (or others). Here are some simple tricks by PETA and The Paw Company share what you can do to help prevent animals from suffering:
What can happen: Six-packs of soda often come strung together by plastic rings. This feral cat got her head caught in one of them.
How you can help: Cut apart all sections of plastic six-pack rings, including the inner diamonds.
FISHING LINE & HOOKS
What can happen: Birds frequently get their beaks wrapped or wings tangled up in discarded fishing lines. Hooks can be swallowed or become embedded in birds’ skin or beaks.
How you can help: If you spot fishing litter, pick it up and dispose of it. Read The Paw Company’s post on the cruel practice of catch-and-release.
BEER & SODA CANS
What can happen: Even the tiniest animals can fall victim to litter. Discarded soda cans are tempting to small animals who are looking for food or shade. Animals can also be cut by cans’ sharp edges.
How you can help: Be sure to dispose of your cans responsibly. Rinse and crush cans before tossing them into the recycling bin. You can also fold the tab back to block off the hole on the top.
GUM& LABELS
What can happen: Animals often step in gum or the sticky labels. Gum can become matted in their fur or feathers, making it difficult for them to move.
How you can help: Never spit gum onto the ground. Wrap it in paper and dispose of it in a proper receptacle. Paste the sticky sides of tape onto eachother.
TIN CANS, CUPS, & JARS
What can happen: Hungry animals desperate for even just a few crumbs often get their heads stuck in discarded cans, cups, and jars.
How you can help: Always rinse out containers (and place the lids back on them!) and crush metal cans before disposing of them.
PLASTIC BOTTLES & BAGS
What can happen: Whales, turtles, and seabirds often mistake trash for food, and if eaten, it can choke them or cause fatal stomach or bowel obstructions.
How you can help: When shopping, choose paper bags or take your reusable bags whenever possible.
CHIP BAGS
What can happen: Curious pets put their head into a chip bag (or similar packaging), the bag creates a vacuum-seal around the neck of the pet when they inhale. This can cause them to suffocate.
How you can help: Cut down the sides of the chip bag before you throw it away.
MASKS
People think straws are a problem?
What can happen: The strings of the masks get entangled on the feet/legs of animals, especially birds. This can lead to injury or death if they can’t escape.
How you can help: Cut off both strings from the mask.
PET LITTERING
What can happen: We have a massive overpopulation crisis of animals and this problem is perpetuated one litter at a time. This leads to millions of animals being killed humanely annually (euthanized), because there are just not enough homes.
How you can help: Spay & neuter your pets and sponsor sterilizations as much as you can. Keep them secure in your yard.

WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO?
The problems are not only limited to the above!
Don’t litter.
Clean up in your community. Find or create events to help pick up litter in your neighbourhood to help keep it litter-free for longer
Securely cover garbage cans and recycle bins so that animals can’t get into them and become trapped inside.
Keep an eye out for other people’s trash, too.
Lessen it in your day-to-day life. Look for ways to prevent yourself from leaving waste behind by opting for more sustainable packaging and recycling the right way.
Spread the word. More people need to understand the devastating effects litter has on animal and plant life.
It has become popular at weddings, parties and funerals, to release sky lanterns or balloons. All released balloons, including those falsely marketed as “biodegradable latex,” return to earth as ugly litter as do lanterns. They kill countless animals and cause dangerous power outages. Balloons are also a waste of Helium, a finite resource. Balloons can travel thousands of miles and pollute the most remote and pristine places. Lanterns have caused fires far from where they are released, startled, injured and killed animals. When you plan a funeral or other events, celebrate life by not causing more death. You can easily google less harmful ideas.
Make ethical choices when it comes to the products you use. Think of both the environment and the animals. Your actions could be the difference between life and death for even one sentient being.
Next week we will look at why people surrender animals and their effects.

Aqua Antics taught 8 adults to overcome their fear of water
The group started on Monday 17 January. The lessons were 30 minutes a week and the group had homework to do. This homework was done outside of the water. The group started with 10 adults but only 8 finished the course and received certificates.
“What a tremendously enthusiastic group of adults, they all spurred each other on. Many are parents of existing children we are teaching,” said Theresa Grey, “Our next adult beginner group starts Monday 11th April, it’s a 9-week course that encompasses all the core aquatic skills and they are able to do the first basic freestyle.”
The current group will move on to an intermediate class run by Coach Frank van Papendorp, bookings for these specific adult classes can be booked through Aqua Antics.
WhatsApp Theresa on 0826046521to book your lessons.
Fear of water, or ‘aquaphobia,’ is a common phenomenon. More than half of adults suffer from this phobia and are set off by things that strong swimmers wouldn’t even think about twice. Looking out into the water of an ocean or lake, the deep end of a pool, or simply a filled bathtub can bring on paralyzing fear – even if it clearly doesn’t pose a real threat to the person.
In South Africa, a lot of people do not have access to swimming lessons nor do they have regular access to pools of water that is big enough to swim in. When they enter pools or rivers, either voluntary or by falling, they run the risk of drowning. Having the confidence that Theresa and her team teaches can save lives.

ANIMALS 101 – A USEFUL GUIDE TO SEE WHETHER YOU MEET THE CRITERIA OF A RESPONSIBLE PET OWNER.
The privilege of sharing your life with an animal companion comes with responsibilities and this should not be taken lightly. In addition to meeting your pet’s basic needs, there are some extremely important rules of responsible pet ownership you need to know, to keep your pet in good health and enjoying life.
You are your pet’s whole world. Animal welfare is always receiving surrender requests because of “time”. Your pet has all the time in the world for you, and you promised them forever when you chose to take them in. Have you cleaned your pet’s cage today or their water and food bowl? Have you made sure to feed and water them before eating yourself? Have you made the effort to say hello to them today?
The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) lists six areas of responsible pet ownership, including commitment, investment, obeying local ordinances, ensuring your dog is properly identified, limiting his or her reproduction, and preparing for emergencies and other life-changing events.
COMMIT
Avoid impulsive decisions when selecting a dog.
Select a dog that’s suited to your home and lifestyle.
Provide appropriate exercise and mental stimulation.
Properly socialize and train your dog.
Commit to the relationship for the life of your dog(s).
Keep only the type and number of dogs for which you can provide appropriate food, water, shelter, health care and companionship.
INVEST
Recognize that dog ownership requires an investment of time and money.
Make sure your dog receives preventive health care as well as care for any illnesses or injuries.
Budget for potential emergencies.
OBEY
Clean up after your dog.
Obey all local ordinances, including licensing, leash requirements and noise control.
Don’t allow your dog to stray.
IDENTIFY
Make sure your dog is properly identified (i.e., tags, microchips, or tattoos) and keep the registration up-to-date.
LIMIT
Don’t contribute to the dog overpopulation problem: limit your dog’s reproduction through sterilization, containment, or managed breeding (The Paw Company does not support any breeding while there is a massive overpopulation crisis).
PREPARE
Prepare for an emergency or disaster, including assembling an evacuation kit.
Make alternate arrangements if you can no longer provide care for your dog.
Recognize any decline in your dog’s quality of life and make timely decisions in consultation with a veterinarian.

FOUR PAWS SHARES THE FOLLOWING ON RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERSHIP
PET’S BASIC NEEDS
You are responsible for ensuring that your pet has:
the opportunity to express their natural behaviour.
healthy diet and access to fresh water.
a comfortable resting place.
regular exercise.
protection from stress, illness, injury.
MEDICAL RESPONSIBILITY
You are responsible for ensuring that your pet gets:
annual vaccinations.
regular preventative parasitic treatment.
annual/general health checks.
nail clipping, dental checks and grooming.
vet consultation when your pet is sick/injured.
TRAINING & SOCIALIZATION
You are responsible for ensuring that your pet:
understands basic commands.
is socialized well to cope with life (other pets, people, children, noises).
receives behavioural training, when necessary, from a reputable behaviourist.
receives reward-based training and not punishment-based training.
receives mental stimulation through training and enrichment.
Being a responsible pet parent is about more than just these 10 points. It also means learning to pick up on your pets’ often-subtle communication cues, as well as helping your pet learn human communication signals through proper handling, socialization and training. Being a responsible pet guardian is a privilege, with responsibility and a serious commitment that takes time and energy. Commit fully, or don’t get a pet!

POLICE FINALLY FIND THE KIDNAPPED GIRL ALIVE, THE SUSPECT IS IN THE CELLS
Nelspruit – 16 March 2022: The Provincial Commissioner of the SAPS in Mpumalanga, Lieutenant General Semakaleng Daphney Manamela has gladly welcomed the news regarding a girl who was kidnapped, as she was found alive. Thanks to the team of members who worked tirelessly and successfully managed to trace and bring the girl back home alive. A young lady, aged 19 was reportedly kidnapped by an armed man at her home in Kwamhlanga in the early hours of Tuesday, 15 March 2022.
As a result, police received the whereabouts of the 31-year-old suspect at Enkangala and were detained pending further investigation in relation to the kidnapping incident.
According to the report, on the said day at about 03h00 am, five young ladies were travelling home in their car, from a certain function. As they arrived home and were about to get inside the yard, they were allegedly pounced by an armed man, alighting from a Silver Grey Toyota Legend 50 which was without registration number plates.

It is further alleged that the said girl (who was later kidnapped) earlier called her mother whilst they were still on their way home, indicating to her that they were being followed by a strange bakkie for a while and, at some stage, the driver of the bakkie (who is also a suspect) reportedly flicked lights for them but they ignored him. They later thought that he had stopped trailing them however, the ladies were shocked when the man strangely went out of his vehicle with a firearm in his hand as they arrived home.
The mother who received a call reportedly went out of her house upon their arrival, only to meet the ladies at the gate being held at gunpoint by the suspect who accused them of stealing some items from his liquor outlet. The mother decided to return to the house, to fetch a torch so that she could help search for the things that the man was looking for in their car as it was too dark.
When she returned from the house, she was flabbergasted when she saw the bakkie driving away with her daughter whilst the other four ladies remained in shock. She realised that the man planned to kidnap the girl and came up with the theft stories just to cover up his evil acts.
Thereafter there were reportedly attempts by some members of the public to give chase but all their efforts seemed futile. The matter was then reported to the police at Kwamhlanga and a case of kidnapping was opened. An investigation team was put in place whereby resources were assembled in order to follow the tracks of the suspect before it was too late.
Police, on the other hand, worked around the clock to ensure that the kidnapped lady is returned home safely to her family as well as to make sure that the suspect was brought to book. The girl was dropped off and later to be found at a certain fuel station at Menlyn in Pretoria in the early hours of today, Wednesday 16 March 2022. She then related her ordeal to the police. The girl was reportedly blindfolded and repeatedly raped by the suspect. A case of kidnapping with additional charges of rape and assault was opened. Police still continues with their investigation.
Meanwhile the Provincial Commissioner of the SAPS in Mpumalanga, Lieutenant General Semakaleng Daphney Manamela felt proud about the outstanding work by members at Kwamhlanga. “This is the type of members that we need in order to win the war against crime. We really appreciate the efforts that they have put in ensuring the safe return of the young lady. We are also glad that the suspect was arrested as well. We hope that the law will take its course.” said the General.

With only a few weeks to go until Misty Waters 2022 the excitement can be felt in the air, on-the-line, inside the Sasol towers, across our lakes and all the way to the top of Table Mountain! After an absolute insane Misty Waters last year, with acts like Spoegwolf, Black Cat Bones, Springbok Nude Girls, Wolfgang Marrow, Albert Frost and Gert Vlok Nel, amongst others, we didn’t think it was possible to top it.
