DEAR EDITOR,
I respond so heartsick to an article written by Shabna Ullah, who describes a violent crime that occurred at around midday on Sunday, June 8 by a group of cold-hearted men who claimed dogs were attacking their sheep.
This horrifying crime against dogs, witnessed by residents, tells about a mob of about 12 men with cutlasses brutally butchering about 10 dogs by hacking off their heads while their owners looked on helplessly.
The men beat the dogs with sticks, and used ropes to lasso them if they tried to run away.
In some of the killings, the heads of the dogs were chopped off completely.
The murderous rampage by these savage men continued with cutlass chops on a pregnant dog, and severing the ear of another dog that ran for his life, but the barbaric men ran after him and butchered him to death.
I am desperately fighting to express my rage, for this sinister massacre can show the dept of the evil and sin committed by this group of callous men against God’s voiceless creatures.
This is a horrifying and unforgiving crime, and if these ruthless men are not caught by the law and brought to face a harsh punishment, then society would have failed our voiceless animals.
I shudder to think these very men would continue slaughtering our dogs if they are not brought to justice.
This mob of men finds it easier to kill dogs rather than have their sheep in a fenced-in area.
I encourage people to contain their animals in an enclosed surrounding. Vacant plots of land or pasture could have barriers build to be utilized as safe havens for animals and from straying or wandering into danger. Provide any type of shelter to control and over-see your animals.
Owners of dogs should have a fenced-in yard to keep them safe.
Please reach out to stop the everyday cruelty to animals by speaking out against the slaughtering of these several dogs, many of whom had owners.
Guyana authorities, please reform your laws for animal protection, and enforce your rulings to punish animal abusers. Animals will forever be around us.
