MANILA, Philippines — Non-government organization for animal rights Philippine Animal Welfare Society on Monday filed criminal complaint against the individual who struck the golden retriever Killua which resulted to its demise.
The incident was captured on closed-circuit television and shared on social media by Killua's owner, Vina Rachelle Arazas. In the footage, Solares can be seen striking the dog as it attempts to flee. If found guilty of animal cruelty, on the other hand, Solares may face six months to two years imprisonment or a fine of not less than P1,000 nor more than P5,000.PAWS also reported that the slain golden retriever has tested positive for rabies, according to a lab report the organization released on Monday.
However, PAWS said that the result of the testing of the slain dog “may not be accurate” as its body might have been contaminated as it was buried in an area where stray dogs have been slaughtered.
