The footage – which is currently making the rounds on social media –
shows how one shepherd chooses to treat his herd. The cruel man proceeds to
pound two defenceless donkeys several times, using a huge stick, while a friend
of his films the entire scene. The shepherd claims that the animals were “lazyâ€
and this is his way to “revive†them and teach them a lesson.
Towards the end of the video, the monster turns over to the camera
and exhibits a large smile – extremely proud of that day’s work.
The video was posted by a Facebook page called “Itimat paylaşım†and the footage is believed
to have been taken in Turkey.
Angry netizens expressed their outrage about this incident, hoping
that justice would eventually be served. Many Turkish users admitted that this
is a common practice among shepherds all over the country.
There is no doubt that both the attacker and the camera man (who
stood by and did absolutely nothing to stop these cowardly attacks) needs to be
brought to justice. It is clear that no animal is safe with these types of
shepherds nearby.
There is no specific indication where exactly this incident took
place, but the attacker’s face is visible throughout the entire video.
Please sign the petition and urge Turkish authorities to commence an
investigation into this matter and bring those responsible to justice! A strong
example must be set that such actions against innocent animals will not be
tolerated!
Besides signing and sharing the petition, please take a moment to
report this heartless man to PETA and INTERPOL and ask them to land Turkish
authorities a hand into solving this case. Please use the links below to
report.
