Trinidad and Tobago: Animals are being maimed and killed by firecrackers being shoved into their mouths

TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO -- An  animal welfare activist shared horrific photos of a cat which was tortured by an unknown person, who forced a firecracker to explode in the animal’s mouth.

The animal was so injured that it had to be put down.

Rona Jo shared the gruesome photos on social media on November 8 to show the horrific act – as yet, no one has been held for the crime.

“PEOPLE BEWARE. I THOUGHT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN HERE. THESE PICTURES ARE NOT FOR THE FAINTHEARTED BUT IT NEEDS TO BE POSTED.”

“On arriving home at 9:30 pm tonight, I was greeted with a box in front my gate. My first thought someone had dropped kittens. No it was an adult cat which I thought then had gotten bounced.”

“It was the same color as two of my cats, so I guess whoever put it there thought it belonged to me.”

“I got the vet who came in a few minutes to assess.

Verdict: Apparently he was an owned friendly, trusting cat in good health.”

 
 

“BUT SOME LOWLIFE BASTARD, DEVIL PUT A FIRECRACKER IN ITS MOUTH. It was totally burnt and one of the eyes popped out.... The pain and trauma that the cat was in was heartbreaking. I can't sleep right now. RIP boy.”

Citizens shared disgust and horror at the despicable act. They are again calling for a crackdown on illegal fireworks:

“Monsters! How can someone even put a thought in their mind to do such a thing! Poor baby.”

“Humans, I don't know if they understand, that kind of evil you do, you pay for that immediately, right here on this earthly plain before you leave.”

“What kinda sadistic fool did this to a poor animal... Disgusting....”

“Monsters and demons walk among us, and despite protests against fireworks authorities are doing NOTHING, and therefore they encouraging this sh*t”

“Jesus!!!!!!! I am calling on you now more than ever,I think the human race is at our lowest ever.”

“Omg! What will these ppl tell god boi! I'm soo hurt right now words can't explain, so let's get serious an fight for the right if animals ppl an to get this blasted fireworks banned we can only do it together.”

Another woman reported that a similar act had been done to a dog in her neighborhood as well.

Rona said this is just one of many acts of terrible cruelty against animals which must be stopped.

”It’s heartbreaking that I had to deal with it, but I'm glad that the poor cat was was brought in front my gate, not left wherever it was to suffer for the whole night in pain and traumatized.”

“It’s horrible enough that the animals suffer so much because of these senseless loud noises, but to do this to the animals is the lowest of low. Only the devil himself would do such a thing.”

Section 16 of the Summary Offences Act states:
 Any person who unlawfully and maliciously kills, maims, or wounds any dog, bird, beast or other animal, not being cattle but being either the subject of larceny at Common Law or ordinarily kept in a state of confinement or for any domestic purpose, is liable on first conviction to a fine of one thousand dollars over and above the amount of the injury done or to imprisonment for three months and on any subsequent conviction to imprisonment for six months.

Section 79 (1) of the Act states:
“Any person who cruelly beats, ill-treats, starves, overdrives, overrides, overloads, abuses, tortures, or otherwise maltreats any animal is liable to a fine of four hundred dollars or to imprisonment for two months.”

Today a friend called me to check on a dog in chaguanas. This poor dog belonged to someone but she was betrayed, a firecracker was placed in her mouth, it was totally destroyed she has been like this since divali, she vould not eat or drink, she was smelling from a mile away so nobody helped, but thank you to my friend Renae John for calling me, dr. Lutchman for attending to her and M&L liquor for paying her bill. This young beautiful pup had to be euthanized. I guess i should say thank you to our beloved governments past and present, fire one fireworks for importing, the various distributors, the sellers and the buyers FOR ALL THE PAIN AND SUFFERING AND TORTURE INNOCENT ANIMALS, SENIOR CITIZENS, SICK PEOPLE AND BABIES HAVE TO GO THROUGH BECAUSE OF YOUR GREED.
