#JusticeForKillua is trending on X on Tuesday, March 19, as netizens call for accountability against a man who brutally killed a dog in Bicol.
In a viral video posted across social media platforms, a man identified as Anthony Solares chasing and viciously beating golden retriever Killua. The footage showed Anthony using a sharp object beating the defenseless dog. The heartbreaking video documented the cruelty experienced by Killua, who was later found lifeless inside a sack.
According to Killua’s owner, Vina Rachelle, the golden retriever wandered out of their gate around 5:40AM.
Vina suspected Anthony intended to eat Killua, citing the presence of cooking equipment and coal discovered near the dog’s body. Determined to find justice for her beloved pet, she said that she is planning to take legal action against the suspect.
“Hello po, sa mga humihingi po ng update kasi hindi ko po mareplyan isa-isa, I cannot disclose any information po pero I promise po na makakamit natin yung hustisya para sa furbaby ko at para din matigil na ang pagabuso at pagkatay sa mga dogs dito sa lugar namin,” penned Vina.
“Maraming salamat po sa lahat ng sumusuporta kay Killua para sa laban na ito at sa lahat po ng nag aabot ng tulong. Killua is probably happy na madaming nagmamahal sakanya aside from his family,” she added.
On the other hand, the suspect reposted Vina’s Facebook posted and contradicted her accusations saying that Killua was supposed to attack his child.
“Kasu kasu ka pa, ano ba ginawa kung mali!? Kayu itung nagpapakawala ng aso na delikado, paano pag nakagat ang anak ko? [W]alang mapapala iyan dahil kamag-anak namin pulitiko,” he wrote.
In a separate post, he said, “‘Wag mung ipost kung hindi nakuhaan ang buung pangyayare. hidni mo ipinakita kung paano pagtangkaan ng aso ang aking maliit na anak. wag mong baligtarin ang istorya.”
