PETA has been alerted to a viral video reportedly captured in February in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, depicting a man striking a dog forcefully and repeatedly with an unidentified object. The dog, who appears to have no means of escape, yelps and howls desperately as the abuser rains blows upon the animal. PETA caseworkers have implored local authorities to act but have been met with silence. Now it’s your turn to speak up!
The Honduran Animal Welfare Protection Law No.115-201 prohibits behaviors that cause unnecessary pain or stress to animals. Please politely contact the officials below, urging them to immediately confiscate this dog and open an investigation into the apparent abuse. Then please share this alert with everyone you know.
