KZN man accused of killing monkeys with spade
The SPCA says it's appalled by the actions of a man accused of killing two monkeys with a spade near Howick.
It's understood the animals were caught in a vegetable garden at an old age home last week.
uMngeni SPCA's Kevin Khumalo says they intend to open a criminal case against the man.

Khumalo says there's no justification for animal cruelty, as humane methods are available to deal with problem animals.
"The animals, from what we were told, were already trapped inside a chicken coop. They could have been either released, or they could have called us to take them and release them elsewhere.
"Our aim is to ensure [death] is the last incident. Hopefully, it is going to be an eye-opener for the community at large as that was cruelty to the animals."
