Carla Abellana, ang kakasuhang security guard at si Browny
KAKASUHAN ng Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) ang security guard na walang awang naghagis ng isang tuta mula sa footbridge sa Quezon City.
Hindi na umabot nang buhay ang nasabing hayop na nagngangalang Browny sa pinakamalapit na veterinary clinic na pinagdalhan sa kanya.
Galit na galit ang mga animal lovers sa nasabing guwardiya na balitang matanggal na sa trabaho dahil sa nangyari. Iniimbestigahan na rin siya ng security agency kung saan siya nakakontrata.
Isa sa mga celebrity na umalma at talagang nadismaya sa insidente ay ang Kapuso actress na si Carla Abellana na kilala rin bilang advocate ng animal welfare and protection.
Ipinost ni Carla sa kanyang Instagram ang litrato ng namatay na puppy kalakip ang pagkondena sa ginawa ng guwardiya kay Browny.
“Yesterday, a netizen posted about having witnessed a security guard throw a helpless puppy off a pedestrian bridge.
“PAWS condemns in the strongest possible terms this act of cruelty. We are demanding an immediate investigation of this case and we have gotten in touch with witnesses so that we can file a case.
“When PAWS lobbied for the Animal Welfare Act, it had to repeatedly clarify that the law does not protect only animals that are owned nor does the law seek to punish only large-scale cruelty done to companion animals such as the dog meat trade,” simulang pagbabahagi ng aktres.

Patuloy pa niya, “Historically, PAWS has filed cases against those who have hurt animals that had no owners or guardians as long as there were witnesses to the cruel act who were willing to file an affidavit.
“In the reported incident, the security guard allegedly had a heated altercation with street children who had the puppy with them.
“According to witnesses, the guard, in order to show that he meant business (he was telling the children repeatedly to leave the footbridge), he threw the puppy over the bridge. The puppy died from the fall.
“The guard’s behavior and the act of killing the puppy is certainly what the Animal Welfare Act seeks to punish,” sabi pa ni Carla.
Ipinagdiinan pa ng Kapuso star na desidido ang PAWS na makasuhan at mapanagot ang security guard na nakapatay sa kawawang tuta.
“We have received over 190 emails from concerned citizens about this. We are as outraged as you are and we are taking steps in filing this case with the help of a witness.
“We appeal to the public to refrain from flooding our email with forwarded posts on social media. Our inbox must be freed up to receive draft affidavits from witnesses and those who will help us file the case in Court.
“Thank you for speaking out against animal cruelty,” pahayag pa ni Carla Abellana.
