JUSTICE SHOULD APPLY TO ALL. NO ONE SHOULD BE ABOVE THE LAW — NOT EVEN THE LGU.
The recent viral incident involving the improper disposal of dogs and cats has awakened public attention and outrage. People are demanding answers, accountability, and justice for these animals.
But we also hope that the same public outrage, attention, and willingness to demand accountability will be extended to reported cases of abuse, cruelty, and inhumane treatment inside government-operated dog pounds.
What happens during the capture, handling, transport, and confinement of stray animals must also be scrutinized.
Government authority is not a license to abuse animals. Being an LGU employee or working in a government facility does not exempt anyone from accountability.
ANIMAL CRUELTY IS WRONG, WHETHER COMMITTED BY A PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL OR A GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE.
If there are documented violations of animal welfare laws, those responsible must be investigated and held accountable under the law, regardless of their position or affiliation.
We must not be selective in fighting for animal rights.
Every animal deserves protection, dignity, and humane treatment — including those unfortunate animals caught and brought to government pounds.
Let us make these cases visible, too.
STOP ANIMAL CRUELTY. DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY. JUSTICE FOR ALL ANIMALS!
