Porto Alegre, Brazil: A shocking case of abuse involving a
defenseless canine has been highlighted by activists on social media. The
coward pictured on the left was spotted attacking a harmless dog with a knife.
The dog stood no chance in front of his attacker, who slashed the animal in
half, before removing parts of his guts. The coward later fled the scene,
leaving the dog to die alone in tremendous suffering. This is exactly what
would have happened if a good Samaritan hadn’t spotted the wounded animal and
call for help. Mobilization was instant and the dog arrived at a veterinary
clinic in short time.
Vets were shocked at the dog’s condition and tried to saw back his
internal organs. An update reveals that in spite of their best efforts, vets
were unable to safe the dog’s life. The poor animal passed away, in great pain.
This appalling incident unfolded in the city of Pouso Alegre, Minais
Gerais state, Brazil.
With the help of social media, the perpetrator has been identified
as Laelmo Silva. He was quick to delete his Facebook profile once word of what
he did got out. Some screenshots of his profile were later made available online
however and it emerged that the attacker is married with children. One must
wonder what kind of education such a person is capable of providing to his
kids.
Please support my petition so justice can be achieved. Brazil has animal
protection laws in place and we, the undersigned, ask nothing more than the law
to be applied! This dog suffered immensely and we owe it to him to see that the
attacker receives punishment for his unlawful actions.
