Poe's Push for Animal Welfare Stopping Violence Against Animals in the Philippines

As a nation renowned for its love for animals, it is particularly disheartening to witness instances of cruelty against them. Senator Grace Poe has taken a bold initiative by advocating for the passage of a bill aimed at stopping violence against animals, including dogfighting and other forms of animal combat.

The senator has requested her colleagues' approval to amend the Animal Welfare Act of 1988, which would establish an Animal Welfare Bureau under the Department of Agriculture. This bureau would be responsible for ensuring that animals are treated with care and respect, working to prevent instances of animal cruelty.

Poe has highlighted disturbing cases of animal abuse, including the brutal killing of a golden retriever named Killua by a barangay official, as well as a dog being dragged to what appears to be the butchering area of a dog meat trader. She emphasizes that these acts are not only inhumane but also illegal.

The proposed bill would enshrine animal care as a fundamental right, rather than a privilege. This means that all domesticated animals would be entitled to regular check-ups and prompt medical attention when needed. The bill would also promote spaying, neutering, and vaccinating stray animals to curb their population and prevent the spread of rabies.

Furthermore, the bill would prohibit dog meat trade, ear cropping, tail docking, cruel confinement, de-vocalization, and other inhumane practices on animals, except when necessary for medical purposes. It would also establish humane transport standards, ensuring that animals are treated with care during transportation.

Poe emphasizes that this bill is not merely about strengthening laws but about sending a clear message to the world Filipinos are not only animal lovers but also animal defenders. She believes that by passing this bill, the country can make a lasting difference in the lives of animals and send a powerful message globally.

In conclusion, Senator Poe's push for animal welfare is a vital step towards creating a more compassionate society. By supporting this bill, we can ensure that animals are treated with care and respect, and that instances of cruelty are prevented.
