As 2022 came to an end, our team still had their hands full the last few days with various rescues. This My Little Pony called Spirit found himself stuck in a stinky situation. Spirit landed up in a septic tank after he broke through the fence surrounding the septic tank. When Spirit walked over the cover on top of the septic tank, his weight was too heavy, and the cover broke. This left Spirit stranded inside the septic tank.
Fortunately for Spirit, his owners found him in no time and called the the City of Cape Town’s Fire & Rescue for assistance. The City of Cape Town’s Fire & Rescue contacted the Cape of Good Hope SPCA. In no time, the brave men and woman thought of a bright plan to get little Spirit out of the septic tank. The team placed bales of hay and sandbags into the tank to allow Spirit to use this as a step to get out of the tank. Hooray! The plan worked! Spirit safely got out of the septic tank.
Before the vet could examine Spirit, he had to be hosed down to get the smelly water off him. We are certain he will not be going anywhere near the septic tank again! The vet examined Spirit and fortunately, he was unharmed. Spirit’s owners will also be placing extra reinforcement around the septic tank to keep him from wondering where he shouldn’t.
