00:00The police found the illegal sale of the dog's DNA in Rizal's flower shop.
00:08Because of this, the police and the receipt were quickly moved to the scene.
00:12To catch the suspects because the guards left the room.
00:17Nose, feet, eyebrows, ears, eyes.
00:22These are just a few of the dog's parts that are for sale in Rizal.
00:26In the flower shop, the specialty of a group of men.
00:31Those are the complaints received by the Animal Welfare Group, Animal Kingdom Foundation.
00:36About the operation in the flower shop, this is an informant.
00:40How did it come to you?
00:41We received that specific information from our hotline.
00:46And there is a dog that is being sold there.
00:51That's why we immediately sent people to validate.
00:55It's really positive. It hurts my heart.
00:59That's why this January, the CIDG, Bulacan, Animal Kingdom Foundation and Recibo
01:04headed to a remote place in Maragay, Bambang, Bulacan.
01:08At first glance, it looks like a normal neighborhood.
01:10But when the police entered the back of the house,
01:12they saw a dog that was about to be slaughtered.
01:16And it was hanging from a tree.
01:19There are two dogs hanging from a tree.
01:24On the other side of the house, there are crying dogs that are stealing the attention of the operatives.
01:29The dogs that are hanging from the tree also started to cry.
01:36Because you are caught in the act, sir.
01:38In the precinct, you were caught. This is an explanation.
01:43How many dogs were caught? How many were rescued? How many are alive and how many are dead?
01:49Unfortunately for that case, sir, one of the dogs is dead.
01:53In the case of the rescued dogs, where are you taking them?
01:57We are taking the rescued dogs to our Rescue and Rehabilitation Center in Capas, Tarlac.
02:03Two men are facing violation of RA 8485 as amended by RA 10631
02:11or the Animal Welfare Act.
02:15They know that dogs are not allowed to be slaughtered.
02:18We are forced to do it, sir.
02:20It is hard for us to live in the wild.
02:23We know that we can only earn money to buy rice.
02:28That's why I was forced to do it.
02:30I know, sir. I know.
02:32I know what I am involved in.
02:34But my job is really a truck driver.
02:36I have a job.
02:38The two suspects are currently on trial.
02:41But the case is still being investigated.
02:44We went to the operation that you did in Morong, Rizal.
02:48The system here in Morong is food.
02:51Yes.
02:52Food and sometimes fresh.
02:54According to the received reports,
02:56CIDG Rizal and Animal Kingdom Foundation went to Morong Rizal for a test-buy.
03:06Mom, can I get a dog?
03:09Huh?
03:10I want to buy a convertible.
03:12Are you really going to get a dog?
03:14No, a whole dog.
03:16A whole dog?
03:17Like a pig.
03:18Is it a whole dog?
03:20It's a dog.
03:21A dog's head was bought by the authorities
03:26to be inspected by the National Meat Inspection Service or NMIS.
03:30Confirmed.
03:31A dog's head was bought by the authorities for a test-buy.
03:35That's why this July 23, 2024,
03:38the received reports were still there.
03:40The authorities and Animal Kingdom Foundation
03:43went to the operation.
03:50When they arrived at the location,
03:51the two assets that he was going to buy,
03:53the dog's meat,
03:56were found.
03:57A call was received by the police,
03:59so that the suspects could be found.
04:02Let's go, let's go, let's go.
04:10When they arrived at the house,
04:11they found in a table,
04:13different parts of the dog that were already chopped.
04:16When they opened a plastic,
04:188 pieces of the dog's leg came off.
04:20But the female,
04:21was completely thin.
04:23They only found one dog.
04:258 pieces of the dog's leg were found in the table.
04:28Is that a mutant dog?
04:32Is that a dog?
04:33It's just a dog.
04:34It's just a dog.
04:35But it has 8 legs.
04:36It's just a dog.
04:40It's just a dog.
04:41It's just a dog.
04:45We are arresting you for possessing a DO61.
04:49You have the right to remain silent.
04:51After reading their rights,
04:53the wife,
04:54has a different request.
04:56She wants to arrest her husband,
04:58and put him in jail.
05:00What happened to your dog,
05:01for better or for worse?
05:03Please have mercy.
05:05He's my husband, sir.
05:07Please have mercy.
05:08He's not my husband.
05:10Please have mercy.
05:12Please have mercy.
05:13He has a heart disease, sir.
05:15The two suspects were brought to the custodial facility
05:18of CIDG Rizal PFU.
05:20The two suspects were found guilty in the R8-1063-1
05:24or the Animal Welfare Act.
05:28They thought that the punishment would be easy.
05:30What is the punishment?
05:31It's not easy.
05:33If the dog died because of the dog meat trade that they did,
05:37they can,
05:38and this is a lot,
05:403 or more dogs,
05:42they can call the syndicates.
05:44So up to 3 years,
05:46they can be jailed.
05:47Yes.
05:48And the penalty is P250,000.
05:50Okay.
05:51If they are convicted.
05:52At the moment,
05:53the two suspects have already been sentenced,
05:55but the hearing of the case is still ongoing.
05:58More than 3 months have passed.
06:00The Animal Kingdom Foundation Sanctuary visited
06:04Kapas, Tarlac
06:05to see the condition of the dogs in the gift
06:08from the lechoneros of Bulacan.
06:11We were able to rescue 4 dogs
06:13in Barangay Bambang, Bulacan, Bulacan.
06:18Now,
06:19we are with the 3 dogs,
06:21Bambang,
06:22Bart,
06:23and Berry.
06:24We also reformed the basic intake protocols.
06:28We completed the vaccines.
06:32They can see that they are in a good and healthy condition.
06:34And,
06:35the family is waiting to give them
06:37the proper love
06:39and care.
06:42Why is it prohibited to eat dog meat?
06:46This is a public health issue.
06:47Secondly,
06:48these are dogs.
06:50They are not food or food animals.
06:53They are companion animals,
06:55as best friends.
06:56They are our family or members of the family.
07:00The authorities are determined to save
07:02every bite
07:03of the dog meat.
07:06No one will complain
07:07if no one will sell it.
07:09There is a law
07:10to protect
07:11the so-called member
07:13of many houses.
07:16Dog! Dog! Dog!
