00:00San Juan LGU is investigating the alleged abandonment of their animal town.
00:05At the house of the dog and cat that was tied up and some of them were not able to make it out alive.
00:12First news, Niko Wahe.
00:17In the aftermath of the storm that hit Habagat,
00:21many tagged Veron, an animal rescuer, in this video that is spreading on social media.
00:27Some dogs are seen not knowing what to do after being caught in the flood.
00:32There are also stray cats that are not moving and are already submerged in the water.
00:36San Juan LGU says this is a city pound.
00:38With the help of another animal rescue group, they were able to reach the area.
00:43We were crying while we were rescuing.
00:45We were crying and crying.
00:46There were many dead cats that were drowning.
00:48There was a cat that even though it was drowning, it tried to survive on its own.
00:53It was already critical.
00:54We were giving first aid immediately.
00:56We tried CPR on them manually.
00:59They were able to rescue 8 cats that were not alive.
01:02They were able to rescue 8 cats.
01:04They were also able to rescue 20 dogs.
01:07They were also brought to the shelter of the animal rescue group in Cubao and Angono, Rizal.
01:11Before the flood, dogs and cats were already passing through the pound,
01:16according to the residents of the area who talked to Veron.
01:19The animals were being tortured when they were not able to adapt.
01:23Sir TK knows that the flood is reaching many people, but he did not allow it to rain.
01:28LGU confirmed the San Juan City that they are the pound.
01:31The city is legally conducting a comprehensive and comprehensive investigation on what happened to our San Juan Dog compound.
01:43This was the first time this happened, but they are assuring that they will answer if they see any neglect.
01:49They will also prove that there are still animals being tortured there.
01:53Hopefully, this is just an isolation, but we will try to investigate.
01:58We will hold any employees, officers of the city government to prove that they did not violate their obligations.
02:07According to the Philippine Animal Welfare Society or POS,
02:11the animals should be removed from being tied when it rains or floods.
02:16They should not be left in cages or tied.
02:19The city pounds have a greater responsibility over and above individuals and private citizens
02:28because they are in charge of the animal control facility.
02:34The San Juan LGU is thankful to those who rescued the animals in the city pound.
