With the New Year fast approaching, an animal rights and welfare group and an environmental group joined forces on Saturday to remind Filipinos on how they could do their share in making the celebration of the coming year lucky and enjoyable for their pets.
If you’re an animal lover and you like happy endings, this story isn’t for you. At least not quite yet, but I’m hoping it will be. Because right now, this is a story of human cruelty and greed, and of bloodlust powered by high technology and administrative ignorance. It’s about people acting worse than the animals they abuse—foreigners who take advantage of lax law enforcement, the despicable Filipinos who help them, the dog breeders who sell animals to their death, and the perverts worldwide who bet on online dog fights and make scumbags rich.
