I came across this upsetting video and I decided something needs to be done about this. I am asking each and every one of you for help. The behavior depicted in the footage makes me sick and I hope we can make a difference in this case.
The video shows a pit bull type dog being chained outside a family property. The dog seems to be happy, as he is sticking his tongue out and wagging his tail. The first sign of abuse, however, is that the dog was left chained outside, with just a bucket of water nearby, which suggests he has been tethered to that chain for quite a while.
A young boy approaches his pet dog as his father – who records the scene – can be heard shouting: Hit him, hit him now!. Unwilling to upset his father, the boy approaches the dog and slaps him several times, before pulling away. But the father has no intention of stopping: Hit him harder! he shouts. This goes one for over a minute. This video should be viewed by all the people that think pit bulls are dangerous: in spite of being slapped several times, the dog does not retaliate and stands there innocently.
To be fair with ourselves, the boy is not to blame for the incident. Most likely, he had no idea that he was harming the dog and thought it was just a game of some kind.
The true culprit is the boy’s father. He should have known better than this! Teaching a child to harm a dog is absolutely unacceptable and low. This child will grow up believing it is OK to slap animals, since his own father taught him so.
Authorities must watch the video and act immediately. This ignorant dad must be charged and the dog removed from the premises, because he is no longer safe there.
The father’s name is Rolando Negrete, he lives in the town of Nueva Rosita, in northern Mexico.
We want the law to be applied and this heartless father punished for
teaching his son to mistreat animals!
