Cape Town, South Africa (11 October 2023) – Captain Crow-a-Lot, also known as Muhammed Asgar Dalvie, will be running a marathon wearing a full chicken suit in aid of the Cape of Good Hope SPCA. His goal is to champion the 5 freedoms of animals.

Just like humans and children have their own sets of rights, animals do too. They are called “The 5 Freedoms” and they apply to all animals.

The Five Freedoms

  1. Freedom from Hunger and Thirst
  2. Freedom from Discomfort
  3. Freedom from Pain, Injury, or Disease
  4. Freedom to Express Normal Behaviour
  5. Freedom from Fear or Distress

Muhammed Asgar Dalvie will be running the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon, a total of 46km, fully kitted in his chicken suit this weekend. His aim is to raise funds for the SPCA so they can make sure animals are free from the above-mentioned cruelties.

Muhammad hopes to raise R20,000 through his GivenGain fund. He shares how last time he got his feathers handed to him, but this year he plans to crow with victory at the end of the race!

“It’s been a wild ride since I last faced the epic showdown with the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon. I won’t sugar-coat it — I got my tail feathers handed to me!

But Captain Crowalot is back, and I’m ready to face my feather-ruffling arch-nemesis once again! Over the past year, I’ve been training like a Springbok rugby player – tackling challenges and sprinting towards success. I’ve polished my feathers, sharpened my beak, and fine-tuned my crowing skills!

The stage is set for the grand rematch on October 15th, 2023. But here’s the deal, my friends—I can’t do this solo! I need your support to help me conquer this egg-stremely tough and gruelling challenge.

Join me by pledging your allegiance to the Justice League of the Cape of Good Hope SPCA down below. Together, we’ll make sure I’m not just winging it, but soaring to victory!

Your donation will make a real difference in the lives of our furry and feathered friends. Give me something to crow about and cock-a-doodle-do good with me!

#CrowalotForJustice”
