On January 16, 2026, in Cebu, a Labrador named Cooper met a brutal end. He was beaten to death, the reason being that he supposedly sniffed around a meat shop.
Adding to the tragedy, other onlookers saw the brutality unfold.
Silence hung in the air, a heavy absence. No one came to Cooper's defense.

Justice for Axle remains elusive, and still, countless lives have been lost to the twin scourges of cruelty and ignorance.
 
Justice requires more than just words.
Accountability is a core part of justice.
Justice requires laws that are enforced.
Justice requires choosing compassion over silence.

Cooper deserves justice.
Justice for every life that goes unheard.
