DSWD chief Gatchalian offers P100K to help identify suspect who cut dog’s tongue
Department of Social Welfare and Development Secretary Rex Gatchalian is offering P100,000 for information leading to the arrest of those responsible for cutting off a dog's tongue in Valenzuela City.
The dog, named Kobe, was found on December 9 in Barangay Aratilis, Valenzuela City, bleeding profusely with its tongue severed after it escaped during fireworks.
The Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) condemned the incident, calling it a calculated and sadistic crime.
PAWS requested Gatchalian's assistance due to the lack of witnesses and provided details about the dog's disappearance and discovery.
Gatchalian stated that such cruelty towards pets will not be tolerated in Valenzuela City and personally committed the reward money.
