Another shocking incident regarding animal abuse has occurred in
China, this time in the Hanjiang District in Yangzhou City, Jiangsu province.
A heartless woman decided she did not want one of her pet dogs
anymore. So she attacked the helpless animal with a knife, before leaving the
dog to hang from a tree until the female German Shepherd passed away.
Some of the residents tried to argue with the woman, but there could
not be any sort of reasoning with the heartless woman. Volunteers were dispatched
at the scene, but by the time they arrived, the dog was no longer alive.
When volunteers tried to confront the woman, the owner pulled out a
knife and threaten to attack her. All volunteers could do is remove the dog’s
lifeless body from the premises. However, witnesses informed volunteers that
the woman owned another dog at her place. After a few tense hours, the six
members of the animal rescue group managed to pull the other dog out of the house
and bring it to safety. The owner later explained that the dog was only causing
problems and she simply did not want the pet anymore, but claims she did not
know what to do with her.
Unfortunately, because China has no animal protection laws
whatsoever, the heartless woman responsible for this cruelty will never be
brought to justice. Police will not charge her with anything, simply because
there is no legal basis to do so. In
other words, she will escape completely unpunished and this probably has to be
the most outrageous part of it all.
This case illustrates yet again the need for China to adopt animal
welfare laws. It is time for the government to start taking animal abuse
seriously and stop ignoring our calls for justice. Too many innocent animals
are abused on a daily basis in China and no one is ever held accountable.
Voice your support and show the Chinese government that animal lives’
do matter too! Animal abuse must become a priority for Chinese officials as
well.
