Sa mga nakalipas na buwan, sunod-sunod ang mga napabalitang animal cruelty cases: brutal na pagpatay ng isang a*o sa Mountain Province, pananaksak ng isang kaawa-awang tuta sa Davao City, paninipa sa walang kalaban-laban na paglalagay sa sako upang abusuhin sa Tarlac, at ang sako ni Nixie, isang kuting na walang awang sinilaban ng mga kabataan sa Laguna. Bagama’t nailigtas pa si Nixie, pumanaw rin ito, ilang araw matapos ang insidente. Ang mga insidenteng ito ay lubhang nakababahala, lalo na’t mga kabataan na mismo ang silang gumagawa ng mga ganitong uri ng kalapastanganan sa mga munting nilalang. Matatandaan din na kamakailan lang nang umugong ang usapin tungkol sa mga nagaganap na animal cruelty sa bansa at nakarating pa nga sa Senado, ngunit bakit patuloy itong nagaganap at mas lalo pang nagiging brutal?

🐕Kapon palagi ang solusyon! 🐈

Last August 15, Cats of Quezon Province successfully held their low-cost kapon event at Centtro Mall, Los Baños, Laguna. UPAWOU was grateful for the opportunity to be one of their partners and to support the event through our merchandise booth.

Tomorrow, September 5, Cats of Quezon Province will be holding another low-cost kapon event at the same venue. Interested pet parents may check their post below for more details: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19b1VnHCHc/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Cats of Quezon Province has also been conducting a series of low-cost kapon events in different communities across Laguna, including Calamba, Pagsanjan, and Santa Cruz, as well as in nearby areas such as Batangas and, most especially, Quezon Province.

We are always grateful to partner with individuals and organizations who are deeply committed to promoting responsible pet ownership and advancing animal welfare in our local communities. Every kapon, every act of kindness, and every effort toward a more humane community truly makes a difference. Patuloy at palagi, para sa kahayupan! 🐾💚

Bagama’t parehong may layuning tumulong, magkaiba naman ang naidudulot nito sa welfare nina Bantay at Muning:

📌 “𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗰𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗴”: Nauunawaan ang limitasyon sa kapasidad, nagbibigay ng maayos na pangangalaga at pagbibigay ng gamot, pagkain, at maiinom na tubig, at paghahanap ng permanente at mapagmahal na tahanan.

📌 “𝗔𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴”: Labis na pangongolekta o pag-aampon ng hayop kahit lampas na sa kakayahang mag-alaga na nagreresulta sa kapabayaan at sakit sa kabila ng mabuting intensyon.

📌 “𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗰𝘂𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴”: Nagaganap kapag ang isang rescuer ay patuloy na tumatanggap o umaampon ng mga hayop kahit wala nang sapat na espasyo at pondo dahil sa paniniwalang siya/sila lamang ang makatutulong o makapagliligtas sa mga ‘munting nilalang’ ng lipunan.

𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗔𝗔𝗡: Ang malasakit na walang sapat na kapasidad ay hindi pagsagip. Ang pagtulong ay pagtitiyak na magiging ligtas at malusog sina Bantay at Muning. 💖

⚠️ 𝘿𝙊𝙂 𝘽𝙄𝙏𝙀 𝙤𝙧 𝘾𝘼𝙏 𝙎𝘾𝙍𝘼𝙏𝘾𝙃? 𝙃𝙚𝙧𝙚'𝙨 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙎𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝘿𝙤:

A bite or scratch may look minor, but it can lead to serious infections, including rabies and tetanus.

🧼 Wash the wound immediately with soap and running water.

🩹 If there is bleeding, apply gentle pressure using clean gauze or cloth.

👀 Watch for redness, swelling, warmth, pus, increasing pain, or fever.

🏥 Seek medical attention as soon as possible, especially if the animal is stray, unfamiliar, or unvaccinated.

Cat bites can be particularly risky because their sharp teeth can create deep puncture wounds that trap bacteria beneath the skin. Dog bites, meanwhile, may cause significant tearing and tissue damage.

When it comes to animal bites and scratches, don’t wait for symptoms to appear. Early medical evaluation can help prevent serious complications.

Stay safe. Stay informed. Protect yourself and your pets.🐾

Republic Act No. 8485, also known as the Animal Welfare Act of 1998, promotes the humane treatment of all animals and reminds us that every pet and animal deserves proper care, respect, and compassion.

⚖️ The law also prohibits acts of animal cruelty, including abuse, neglect, animal fighting, and the use of animals in unauthorized experiments. Violators may face fines, imprisonment, and other legal penalties depending on the severity of the offense.

💚 By reporting cases of cruelty, educating others, and supporting organizations that protect animals, we can help build safer and more compassionate communities for both people and animals.

𝙃𝙄! 𝙔𝙀𝙎, 𝙔𝙊𝙐. 𝙄 𝙃𝘼𝙑𝙀 𝘼 𝘾𝙊𝙉𝙁𝙀𝙎𝙎𝙄𝙊𝙉...

Ang confession ko ay kami po ay muling kumakatok sa inyong mga puso! Every PESO counts! 🥹💜

🌻 Humihingi paw kami ng donasyon, maliit man o malaki, para sa patuloy na pagpapagamot kay Ambo, pagpapa-checkup kay Delia, at para sa pag-aalaga sa aming campus animals dahil kulang na kulang pa rin po ang funds namin. 🙏🏻 Sabi nga nila, you can never go wrong with kindness. Sa mga isyung lumalaganap sa bansa, we believe that kindness and generosity still exist. 💙

It is our duty to protect animal welfare, and one of our ways to protect this is to ask for help. Asking for help does not make us weak, rather, we are strong enough to ask help for our beloved campus animals. But as time goes by, this is no longer a duty. Animals are already part of our lives. We must fight for them through helping them. So please help us, too. 🥺❤
