A suspect has been charged with animal abuse for allegedly stabbing a dog in Mabalacat, Pampanga, according to the Animal Kingdom Foundation (AKF). The incident occurred when a neighbor unexpectedly entered the Reyes family’s home and violently stabbed their dog named Chow-chow. The dog sustained serious injuries and was rushed to a nearby animal hospital for treatment.
The Reyes family reported the incident to the barangay, which then referred them to AKF for legal assistance. Both the family and AKF filed a case against the suspect. AKF President and Program Director Atty. Heidi Caguioa stated that the motive behind the stabbing is still unknown. The AKF warned that they will not tolerate animal abuse and will seek justice for innocent animals.
This incident serves as a reminder that animal abusers will be held accountable for their actions.
