    The SPCA is looking for a Cape Town driver who ploughed through a family of Egyptian Geese, killing two of them.

    An onlooker, Western Cape education department spokesperson Jessica Shelver, captured the incident on video, which occurred at the traffic lights at the corners of Spin and Adderley streets in Cape Town’s CBD.

    She also took some pictures of the aftermath, and her post quickly spread on Facebook.

    You can see her original post here, but here’s the text that accompanied the video and images:

    I just saw this heartless inhumane person kill two ducklings purposefully on the corner of Spin Street and Adderley Street – I say purposefully because we tried to stop him from driving off at the traffic light and he saw them and just drove over them! What a disgusting human!!!

    One of the images is up top (we have blanked out the licence plate), and you can see the video below.

    Be warned that it’s probably going to make your blood boil:

    Shelver also took a picture of the aftermath:

    Here’s CapeTalk:

    The SPCA says it will lay criminal charges against a Cape Town man who appears to have deliberately killed two goslings in the CBD on Friday.

    Belinda Abrahams, spokesperson for the Cape of Good Hope SPCA, describes the incident as a blatant act of cruelty.

    She says the SPCA has already begun tracing the man based on the number plates. Abrahams believes that that the evidence will help with a successful prosecution.

    She explains that video footage or photographic evidence is always useful when reporting animal cruelty, where possible.

    The SPCA, using the original images that Shelver posted to Facebook with the number plate visible, have the details they need to move forward.

    Let’s just hope that the person who was behind the wheel is eventually held accountable, because it really wouldn’t have hurt to wait an extra few seconds, like any decent human being would have.

    The SPCA has also asked other witnesses who saw this happen to please report their account of the events to the Cape of Good Hope SPCA during office hours on 021 700 4158/9, after-hours on 083 326 1604, or via email to inspectorate@spca-ct.co.za.

    See, it’s not just New Yorkers who love their ducks and geese.
