A shocking video showing a boy hitting a stray dog with a leash
several times is making the rounds on social media. We need to act fast to
ensure that the parents of this heartless child are made aware of this terrible
situation and are held accountable for this unspeakable abuse. No dog should
suffer in this manner, no matter what the circumstances are. We, as a society,
have a duty to protect every creature on this planet – including those without
a voice – and must ensure that the future generation is also made aware of
this.
The video is short, but very revealing. The stray approaches a group
of children that were playing outside their homes, in the municipality of
Rafael Castillo, near Buenos Aires, Argentina. One of the children is carrying
a rope in his hands and does not hesitate to strike the helpless dog several
times. While the attack seemingly lacks force, the intention to hurt the dog is
clearly visible and the pooch surely must have been bothered by this.
A shocked neighbor filmed the scene and went to rescue the dog, who
is now safe and out of harm’s way. The witness claims that the family also
abuses horses. Several complaints were made to the local police, but nothing
has been done up to this point.
Please ensure that charges are filed in this case, because this
cruel boy is likely to strike again unless punishment is applied. His parents
must be held accountable for this abuse. We cannot afford to let this incident
fly under the radar, because otherwise more innocent animals will end up getting
hurt.
The house where the boy lives is situated on Soldado Sosa street,
between Terrero and Lavadero streets.
Please take action and voice your support so this dog gets justice!
