A heartbreaking incident has come to light, with Lyn Cruz now in police custody after it was confirmed that a dog named Tiger was brutally stabbed to death by a seller in Subic Market.
The dog’s owner, Lindsay Sawyer, shared this devastating news, revealing the horrific circumstances surrounding the dog’s death.
The Call for Stricter Animal Welfare Laws
Sawyer emphasized the responsibility everyone shares when it comes to animal welfare, but she also pointed out the crucial role the government plays in ensuring the enforcement of animal protection laws.
According to her, it is vital for local government units and concerned agencies to take an active role in raising awareness about these laws.
She suggested that an information drive could be an effective way to educate the public on the importance of animal welfare.
Despite the support from social media, Sawyer highlighted that a quick response to animal cruelty incidents is essential, with or without video evidence.
It’s critical to act swiftly to save animals and bring perpetrators to justice.
A Push for Stronger Legislation
Sawyer also spoke about the ongoing efforts to strengthen the Animal Welfare Law.
She confirmed that a bill aiming to give the law more power has passed its second reading in the Senate, and there is optimism it will pass the third and final reading when sessions resume.
This bill is seen as a necessary step in preventing animal abuse by providing stronger deterrents.
Sawyer’s Emotional Plea for Tiger
In a heartfelt message, Lindsay Sawyer shared her grief over the loss of her beloved pet.
She wrote about the disturbing details of Tiger’s condition, noting the similarities between the dog and her own emotions, especially as Tiger’s ears stood upright in fear before the incident.
Sawyer expressed her pain in a raw and emotional post, questioning whether the dog found comfort before his tragic end.
She also made a public plea to anyone who might have seen Tiger, particularly in the areas around Olongapo, Barretto, Subic, or Zambales.
She provided a description of the dog, mentioning his white hair near his mouth, long nails, and black markings, asking for help in finding her lost companion.
This tragedy has sparked a call to action, urging both the government and the public to take a stronger stand against animal cruelty and ensure that such heartless acts are met with the consequences they deserve.
