Man in Baguio City Faces Criticism After Slaughtering His Dog for Graduation Party
A man in Baguio City faces legal charges after being caught on video brutally killing his dog, allegedly to prepare for a graduation party.
Animal abuse, also known as animal cruelty, refers to the intentional infliction of harm, suffering, or distress upon animals. This can occur in various forms and settings, including domestic environments, farms, laboratories, and in the wild.
Animal abuse can be physical, psychological, or through neglect, and it is universally condemned by animal rights organizations and many legal systems worldwide.
Recently, a man elicited negative reactions online for allegedly slaughtering his dog for a graduation party. The incident has sparked outrage and led to a complaint filed for violating the Animal Welfare Act.
A female resident using the alias “Rose” recorded the incident and shared it online to seek help. The video shows the man heartlessly slaughtering his dog, which was tied to a jeepney.
The animal rights group Biyaya Animal Care CEO Rita Ortiz responded to the video. The group collaborated with Rose to file a complaint at the prosecutor’s office. The complaint accuses the man of violating the Animal Welfare Act, which aims to protect animals from abuse and cruelty.
Biyaya Animal Care conducted an investigation following Rose’s post. They confirmed that the dog was indeed killed for a family’s graduation celebration. The incident added to the public’s outrage and calls for justice.
If found guilty, the suspect could face severe consequences, including up to two years in jail and a fine of P100,000. These penalties reflect the serious nature of animal cruelty and the commitment to enforcing the Animal Welfare Act.
The video elicited strong reactions from netizens, animal rights activists, and the general public. Many have expressed their horror and condemnation of the act, calling for stricter enforcement of animal protection laws.
