A very ugly day in Yabucoa
I always hate to bring disturbing images into this blog, but sometimes, it's just absolutely necessary. We need for people to see exactly what is happening there. And these animals, the innocent animals, need to be remembered by all of us.
Yesterday at the beach, three plastic bags appeared. One contained the cut-up bodies of two small dogs, there was a hog with its head bashed in and feet tied together in another bag, and another cut-up dog was found in the last bag.
Then two weeks ago, more bodies showed up. Seven dogs had been poisoned. A young horse, with it's front and back feet tied together, was laying on a bed of trash and newspapers. It had apparently been dragged to the beach and beaten to death.
These atrocities happen often at this beach. So just so everyone knows, the rescuers in Puerto Rico are not going to put up with the situation anymore. We are going nationwide on this horror movie. We're contacting major national news stations to investigate and get air time on shows like Dateline, 20/20, PrimeTime, etc... national animal rights groups, such as Humane Society of the United States, are being contacted - I'd love to see a full-scale boycott of travel to Puerto Rico - let this issue hurt the country in it's wallet and then it will listen. US Fish and Wildlife Service has been contacted because manatees are often target practice to arrows and bullets - these are federally-protected marine mammals. Private investigators are being talked to in order to find who's committing these heinous crimes. As the famous line from the movie "Network" goes, WE'RE MAD AS HELL AND WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!". Please help to pass this information to others. The more people who know about it and are outraged, the more we can turn national attention toward the nightmare of Yabucoa beach.
