The images and footage of the incident show Axle whimpering, trying desperately to escape. But the man chased the dog relentlessly, insisting on making Axle suffer. Axle could not recover from the abuse, and tragically died not long after the video was taken.
The video footage has sparked a rightful wave of anger across the country, with thousands of Filipinos expressing their devastation over the loss of Axle. There have also been consistent calls within the country for better enforcement of the Animal Welfare Act and stronger animal rights policy, too!
