A group of tourists that ran into a wolf at the outskirts of Bechar,
Algeria, decided to have some fun with the helpless animal. After chasing the
wolf with their motorcycles, they managed to corner the wild creature; at some
point, one of the men grabs a wooden stick and starts pounding the animal until
it no longer moves, then proceeds to breaking its legs and is even seen jumping
on it several times, to get the most of his adventure.
One of the bikers filmed the entire scene and later uploaded the video on social media, for everyone to see what he and his group of yobs had been up to.
Unfortunately, even if the attackers were to be identified and
apprehended, they would not be prosecuted, as there are no laws to protect
animals in Algeria and police and officials do not investigate such cases.
This has to chance, because seeing such images and knowing that
these people are likely to get away with it makes me extremely upset.
The time to speak up for the animals in Algeria has come! Please share and make this petition viral, to discourage similar acts in the future! We want laws to protect animals and we feel that they have just as much rights on this planet as humans do and subjecting them to this treatment is unforgivable!
