A disturbing video of dogs being slaughtered in La Trinidad, Benguet has sparked outrage among animal rights groups, prompting legal action.

In a video captured by a concerned citizen, a man was seen walking a dog in Barangay Buyagan afternoon on September 5, 2024.

Initially, the dog seemed happy, unaware of what was about to happen.

When they reached the location where dogs are allegedly butchered, the animal began to show signs of fear and resistance.

The video also showed another dog, bloodied, on the ground, with a man hitting the animal.

Though the footage ended, witnesses claim that another dog seen in the video was killed next.

Local authorities have been informed about the incident, which animal lovers condemn strongly.

The group Furvent Animal Rescues, Foster, and Adoption plans to file charges against those involved in the brutal act.

The slaughter of dogs for consumption is reportedly common in the area, where the meat is used as "pulutan."
