Animal Cruelty: Sad Ride

Just around this lunch time, as I'm scanning the facebook world while having a break, there's this post that really caught my whole being which is I guess a viral topic in the fb corners right now. A DOG IN A SACK BRUTALLY TIED AT THE BACK PART OF THE CAR (an SUV). Now where's the justice here? I'm not in a good mood as of this moment. Upset. Disturbed. Sad.

In my own opinion. The one who's responsible for this should learn a lesson by filing some criminal charges against him.

In my own opinion. Cases such as this act should have a heavier punishment so that, at least, it'll lessen the brutality cases here in our country.


In my own opinion. Justice for animals shouldn't be disregarded. And thanks to the Philippines Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) that they are already on their way in giving justice for this poor dog.

In my own opinion. People should also learn from this ruthless activity. Learning in a way that, they should treat their pets as persons, not as properties.

In my own opinion.  Animals have a right to life. They are also a LIVING creature, above all, a CREATION of God.

In my own opinion. LOVE your pets unconditionally.

The Entlebucher mountain dog is a native of Switzerland and the smallest of the four AKC Swiss breeds. Prized for its work ethic and ease of training, this dog can easily switch from high-spirited playmate to serious, self-assured dog with a commanding presence. This is not a good dog for the casual owner because it needs so much socialization and will remain active and energetic all its life.

The Norwegian Lundehund is also called the puffin dog. It spent centuries on the rocky cliffs and high fields of arctic Norway hunting and retrieving puffin birds, which was an important meat and feather crop to local farmers. This dog has at least six toes on each foot so it can handle the almost vertical areas where puffins nest. It also has a flexible skeletal structure that enables it to squirm out of tight spots or go spread eagle to prevent slips and falls. Today's version of the dog is an alert, cheerful and somewhat mischievous companion. It is represented by the Norwegian Lundehund Club of America, Inc.
