Statement of Senator JV Ejercito on the brutal killing of golden retriever Killua
March 20, 2024
As a fellow dog lover, witnessing the
disturbing video of Killua, a Golden Retriever, being brutally killed is truly
heartbreaking.
I vehemently condemn this act as it clearly
violates the law and goes against the principles of compassion and decency. Our
beloved companions, often considered man's best friend, should never be
subjected to such cruelty.
This tragic incident underscores the urgent
need for the passage of Senate Bill 2458, also known as the Revised Animal
Welfare Act, championed by Senator Grace Poe. Strengthening our laws to protect
the welfare of animals is paramount to prevent such senseless acts of violence.
I implore the public to show greater empathy
towards animals. They possess the purest hearts and deserve our love and
compassion. Let us strive to create a world where animals are treated with the
care and respect they rightfully deserve.
