Animal Welfare Group Expresses Frustration Over Alleged Dog Slaughter in Bohol
An animal welfare group in Bohol is now calling for justice after the alleged slaughter and eating of a dog in San Jose, San Miguel.
The Facebook group Bohol Animal Rescue and Kindness (BARK) is asking for the public’s help in identifying the people involved. The post quickly circulated on social media and elicited comments from netizens.
According to them, the act is not part of local culture but a clear form of cruelty against animals. They stressed that such actions are punishable under Animal Welfare Act of 1998, as amended, as well as the Anti-Rabies Act of 2007.
The group also expressed concern over videos of the incident being shared on social media. They explained that posting such content may lead to the normalization of animal abuse, which can influence others in a negative way.
The group decided not to release it publicly because minors were reportedly seen in the video. Instead, they are focusing on gathering information that can help authorities take proper action.
BARK is encouraging anyone with knowledge about the incident to come forward. They are looking for details about the identities and whereabouts of those involved, as well as witnesses who may have seen the grueling act.
All information shared will be handled carefully to ensure the safety of those who report. The incident has also reminded many people about the importance of speaking up. Staying silent in situations like this may allow harmful acts to continue.
For the group, protecting animals means working together as a community and making sure that cruelty is not ignored.
