Napag-alamang positibo sa rabies ang katawan ng asong si Killua, ang nag-viral na golden retriever na walang awang pinaslang ng kapitbahay ng kaniyang fur parent na si "Vina Rachelle" mula sa Camarines Sur.
Kaugnay nito, kakasuhan pa rin ang salarin na si Anthony Solares dahil sa animal cruelty at pagbebenta ng karne nito. Hinimok nila ang owner maging ang iba pang nakagat o nakalmot ni Killua na magpaturok ng post-exposure shots.
"PAWS would like to inform the public that Killua’s body tested positive for rabies and urges those who may have been scratched or bitten by the dog to immediately get post-exposure shots. This includes pet owner Vina Arazas who hugged the bloodied body of her beloved dog when she found him at a known dog slaughter area in Sta Cruz, Bato, Camarines Sur. While the result of the testing may not be accurate due to the fact that the body had already been buried for five days prior to testing and may have been contaminated from being in an area where many stray dogs have already been slaughtered, PAWS is making this announcement to ensure that any bites or scratches will be reported promptly in the interest of public health and safety," anila.

"In the BAI’s Manual of Procedure for Rabies, the standard protocol for an animal suspected to be afflicted with rabies is for it to “be observed for fourteen (14) days or, in case of highly suspected rabies cases, be humanely euthanised with no damage to the head."
"PAWS is still set to file criminal charges against Anthony Solares for animal cruelty as CCTV footages show that he was the one who chased the dog and even poked Killua while the animal was hiding under a car in order to make it come out so he could beat Killua to death."
"PAWS is also filing charges of Anti Rabies Act or RA 9482 violation for engaging in dog meat trade. After killing Killua, Solares brought the dog to a known slaughterhouse and dog meat cooking area. Solares owns a carinderia business which sells meat viands near the dog slaughter area."
"PAWS also calls on any one who may have consumed dogs coming from the area where Killua’s body was found to get post exposure shots.'“They are at great risk. Dog meat traders are not only cruel people but pose a serious threat to public health," anila pa.
