About this Petition Petition Letter

Sickening photographs of a dog named Yeni hanging by the neck have recently emerged on the Internet. This killing occurred in the municipality of Villacañas, Spain, and was discovered earlier this week. Yeni's hind legs were well on the ground when she was found, which means that it must have taken hours, perhaps even days, before she finally died.

[Warning: contains more graphic pictures!]

This incident has been reported to the local police, but unfortunately dog hanging and animal cruelty in general is a common occurrence in Spain and most often goes by unpunished.

Animal cruelty in Villacañas

Dear Sir/Madam,

A number of very disturbing photographs have been brought to my attention, portraying a dog named Yeni hanging by the neck from an electricity pylon in Villacañas. Her hind legs were deliberately kept on ground-level in order to achieve a slow and agonizing death. Under such horrific conditions, it must have taken this poor animal several hours before she succumbed to death, during which the pain and suffering she endured is unimaginable. It has been claimed that this murder was committed by local hunters, in fact such incidents seem to occur on a regular basis. It is indisputable that this was an act of sheer evil. An individual who is capable of committing such callous and cold-blooded murder must be apprehended as soon as possible in order to prevent further acts of violence, and it is very likely that this person will commit further crimes.

I am asking that you take appropriate measures to find the person(s) responsible for this vile act and that this criminal be severely punished. The Spanish government should stop ignoring these crimes against animals and enforce proper penalties for animal abuse.

Sincerely,

[Your name]
