DSWD chief offers P100k reward vs. assailants who chopped off dog's tongue
Social Welfare and Development Secretary Rex Gatchalian is offering a P100,000 reward for information that will lead to the arrest of the person responsible for brutally cutting off a dog's tongue in Valenzuela City.
The dog, named Kobe, was discovered bleeding profusely with its entire tongue severed and is currently in critical condition at a veterinary clinic.
The Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) condemned the incident, describing the act as a calculated and sadistic crime.
PAWS Executive Director Atty. Anna Cabrera requested Gatchalian's assistance in solving the case due to the lack of witnesses.
Gatchalian, a former mayor of Valenzuela City, expressed his personal commitment to the reward, stating he could not tolerate such cruelty towards pets in the city.
