The purpose of this petition is bringing this heartless driver to
justice. Please support it by signing and sharing it so this person can be
punished for his cruel deed.
A woman was driving alongside the road close to San Pedro Carchá
Coban, Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. At one point, she noticed that a car in front
of her had something attached to it. She sped up to get a closer look at the
vehicle, only to discover that a dog was being dragged in motion. The dog did
not appear to be alive anymore. She followed the car for over two miles and had
the opportunity to take a few photos as evidence during this time, but she was
unable to pursue the driver to pull over.
She later posted the incriminating pictures on social media; they
were met with anger, fury and disgust. The woman recalls that an adult male was
driving a car and a boy, no older than 10, was in the back of the vehicle. The
woman claims that the child had turned around to check on the dog at least four
times during the two mile chase.
Some took to defend the cruel man, claiming that perhaps he had
found the lifeless animal somewhere and decided to get rid of the body by
dumping it in the woods. No matter how you put it, such treatment of an animal
is unacceptable (especially in front of a child)
At this point, there is no information on who was the actual owner
of the dog and the circumstances that led to this appalling incident. Only
authorities can shed a light on these details.
Social media went to work and identified the driver with the help of
the license plate numbers, which are visible in the photo.
Please support my petition and urge the authorities to investigate
and take immediate action against the heartless individual. There is no excuse
for what he did and he therefore needs to be brought to justice.
