WARNING: Disturbing images.
These are not just photos.These are lives that ended in suffering. They did not die by accident. They were killed.
16 March - Guiwanon, Baclayon, a puppy died after ingesting poison. Another dog barely aurvived.
20 March - in Barangay Anonang, Valencia, Bohol, multiple animals were killed. Poisoned food was deliberately scattered taking the lives of dogs, three cats, and several chickens. Some of these animals were inside their own backyard. Let that sink in.
Poisoning is cruelty and is always intentional. No matter the reason there is no justification for a slow, painful death like this. In many places and barangays in Bohol, poisoning has unfortunately become “normal", passed down as a method of control.
At the same time, we want to be very clear; we do not tolerate irresponsible pet ownership. Allowing animals to roam freely, failing to secure them, or neglecting proper care contributes to community concerns.
Yesterday we were able to talk with one of the owner and the Barangay Captain of Anonang as well. We are currently gathering information on the most recent incident. There are persons of interest (Barangay Anonang Case). We urge anyone with information or witnesses to come forward. Because today it is animals. Tomorrow, what kind of community are we becoming if this is tolerated?
