Hindi pinalagpas ng Kapuso actress na si Carla Abellana ang balita tungkol sa isang security guard ng mall na nanghagis ng isang tuta sa kalsada, mula sa itaas ng footbridge sa Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) sa Quezon City.
Isang concerned netizen na nagngangalang "Janine Santos" ang nag-post nito sa social media, agad na pinag-usapan, at nakarating sa mga awtoridad.
Batay sa update ng netizen, binawian ng buhay ang kaawa-awang tuta dahil sa taas at impact na rin ng kaniyang pagkakahulog.
Security guard na naghagis ng aso mula sa footbridge, sinisante
Ibinahagi naman ni Carla sa kaniyang Instagram post ang maaari umanong gawin ng Philippine Animal Welfare Society o PAWS sa nabanggit na sekyu, na sinesante na umano mula sa serbisyo.
Ang nabanggit na statement ay mula mismo sa PAWS, na makikita sa kanilang opisyal at verified Facebook page.
"PAWS IS FILING A CASE vs SECURITY GUARD WHO THREW A PUPPY OFF SM NORTH EDSA’S FOOTBRIDGE, RESULTING IN THE PUPPY’S DEATH," ani Carla.
"Yesterday, a netizen posted about having witnessed a security guard throw a helpless puppy off a pedestrian bridge."
"PAWS condemns in the strongest possible terms this act of cruelty. We are demanding an immediate investigation of this case and we have gotten in touch with witnesses so that we can file a case."
"When PAWS lobbied for the Animal Welfare Act, it had to repeatedly clarify that the law does not protect only animals that are owned nor does the law seek to punish only large-scale cruelty done to companion animals such as the dog meat trade."
"Historically, PAWS has filed cases against those who have hurt animals that had no owners or guardians as long as there were witnesses to the cruel act who were willing to file an affidavit."
"In the reported incident, the security guard allegedly had a heated altercation with street children who had the puppy with them. According to witnesses, the guard, in order to show that he meant business (he was telling the children repeatedly to leave the footbridge), he threw the puppy over the bridge. The puppy died from the fall."
"The guard’s behavior and the act of killing the puppy is certainly what the Animal Welfare Act seeks to punish."
"PAWS is committed to file a case and hold accountable the person responsible for this horrific cruelty."
"We have received over 190 emails from concerned citizens about this. We are as outraged as you are and we are taking steps in filing this case with the help of a witness. We appeal to the public to refrain from flooding our email with forwarded posts on social media. Our inbox must be freed up to receive draft affidavits from witnesses and those who will help us file the case in Court."
"Thank you for speaking out against animal cruelty."
