Social media users rallied behind Killua, a golden retriever brutally killed and found lifeless in a sack by its owner, with the hashtag #JusticeForKillua dominating social media trends on Tuesday.
Killua’s owner Vina Rachelle said he was allegedly killed by a man who claimed that the golden retriever was aggressive.
“Mahal na mahal ko yan. we found his lifeless body inside a sack 😭😭 #JusticeForKillua,” Vina wrote.
She also shared footage from their CCTV on the gate which showed a dog being chased by a man.
The individual appeared to strike the animal more than once and then continued to chase it across the road.
“Our CCTV footage sa gate. #JusticeForKillua,” Vina wrote.
She said Killua accidentally went over their house’s gate and was later found dead.
“For the information of everyone, hindi yan nakalabas kasi bukas ang gate. The gate was locked. tumaas siya tapos nahulog ata, we don’t exactly know what happened. He was probably anxious and stressed, hindi siya sanay sa labas kasi sa loob lang yan ng bahay palagi. Kaya, no, hindi namin binuksan yung pinto kaya nakalabas,” Vina said.
The hashtag #JusticeForKillua was the top Philippine trend on X, the former Twitter, with 36,000 posts as of around 6:00 PM.
Among those who posted the hashtag was Sarah Geronimo, who called for justice for the furbaby.
“This news is extremely heartbreaking. Walang kalaban-laban ‘yung aso. Katulad nating mga tao, nakakaramdam din sila ng takot at sakit. Every life deserves respect and protection. It’s time to demand accountability and raise our voices against animal cruelty,” Geronimo wrote.
“Let’s speak up for those who can’t! ANIMAL CRUELTY IS NOT AND WILL NEVER BE SELF DEFENSE! #JusticeForKillua,” an online user wrote.
