Demand animal police patrols in Tijuana, Mexico!

Adriana Padilla, an animal lover from Tijuana, witnessed  a scene he is not bound to forget anytime soon. It all happened on the streets of Tijuana, Mexico.  A man emerged from his house while dragging an elderly, sick and paralyzed dog by a chain tied to his neck and kicking the poor animal around. After a few seconds, another woman came out of the same house and unleashed two pit bulls on the poor dog.

It was only sheer luck that another man was also in the area and confronted the two. He then managed to remove the injured dog and take him do the vet. Unfortunately, the dog didn’t survive the terrible attack.

Exclusive: Punish thugs that cut dog’s ears off and posed for photos!

Unfortunately, this is hardly an isolated case in Tijuana, the capital of the Baja California region, with over 1.6 million inhabitants. Cruelty to animals in Tijuana has become sort of a local custom. As the city is confronted with great economic issues (it has the second highest debt of all municipalities in Mexico), animal welfare has been on the bottom of the list of priorities there. Law enforcements are usually too preoccupied to deal with cartels and people who illegally cross the border to the United States.

The animals have been neglected and mistreated for too long. A time for change has come. Animals deserve  and need our attention and respect just as well as anyone else. For this to happen, we need special animal police patrols across the city, with the sole mission of tackling cases related to cruelty to animals, as well as rescuing all the voiceless in need. We, the undersigned, strongly feel that such a measure would significantly improve animal welfare in the city and would confer the much-needed protection to all the animals in need.

Support the petition by signing and sharing it with all your friends and help make Tijuana a better place for animals. Thank you.
