+ January 10, 2021 WITHIN just two years, there had been a number of reported cases of animal cruelty in Davao City in the form of poisoning, hitting that resulted in severe wounds and abandonment.
It’s quite ironic, to say the least, as Filipinos had long since been taking care of cats and dogs as domesticated pets. And yet, there are still records of irresponsible and cruel pet ownership year after year.
