Quezon City, Philippines - In a shocking incident at SM North EDSA, a concerned citizen, Janine Santos, took to social media to share a distressing update regarding the fate of a dog that was thrown by a security guard from a footbridge. Sadly, the latest update reveals that the puppy has passed away.
Janine Santos's initial post went viral, demanding justice for the innocent puppy subjected to such cruelty. According to her account, the security guard attempted to shoo away a group of children from the premises, but when they refused to leave, he callously threw the helpless dog off the footbridge.
The eyewitnesses were left appalled by the guard's heartless act, with one person recounting his audacious response when confronted by a concerned man. The guard reportedly callously said, "Wala akong pake" (I don't care). The onlookers were left in tears, witnessing the lack of remorse displayed by the security guard.
Janine Santos's plea for justice has garnered significant attention on social media, with netizens expressing their sympathy and outrage over the incident. She urged everyone to share the post to raise awareness and ensure that the responsible parties are held accountable for their actions.
In response to the incident, SM North EDSA released an official statement expressing their deep sorrow over the incident and extending their sympathies to the affected group of youngsters. They have taken immediate action by contacting the security agency responsible for the guard involved, demanding a thorough investigation. The guard has since been dismissed and will no longer serve in any of SM's malls nationwide.
The Animal Kingdom Foundation (AKF) has also expressed their outrage over the incident, considering it a clear case of animal cruelty and child abuse. They emphasize that justice must be served for the innocent puppy and the traumatized children who witnessed the horrifying act.
This incident serves as a distressing reminder of the importance of animal welfare and the need for stringent measures to prevent such acts of cruelty. It is hoped that this tragic event will lead to increased awareness and action against animal abuse in the country.
