A live chicken has been slaughtered on the stage of one of Cape Town's most popular theatres.
Disgusted arts lovers stormed out of the Baxter Theatre in Rondebosch after the animal had its throat cut and was left to bleed to death.
Now the SPCA has launched an inquiry and is considering bringing a prosecution against the Baxter and director Brett Bailey.
The chicken was killed on Saturday, minutes before the end of the closing night of the run of iMumbo Jumbo.

Millions of chickens live and die a horrible death each day to be stuffed inside our mouths. We just don't see it happening anymore because we are removed from our planet. I honestly did not equate slabs of 'chicken' 'steak' in the super market with actually coming from live animals. I know we are told that but I don't think children really understand the connection.
