Kapuso actress Carla Abellana posted a lengthy message on Instagram about animal cruelty, following a news report on illegal meat trade in Baguio, Pangasinan, and Pampanga.
Carla, an animal rights advocate, once again took to social media to make an appeal to stop violence against animals.
“As much as i don't wanna post anything bad or negative, i have to. Because awareness is always the first step to correcting what is wrong and most especially illegal,” the actress said in her Instagram post, Tuesday, March 28.
Carla also posted a collage of photos from GMA News' report about two men involved in killing dogs and cats for meat trade in Pangasinan.
She appealed to people to report incidents of animal cruelty and meat trade, which is now considered illegal.
“I receive dozens of reports on a daily basis about animal cruelty and i am fully aware of the illegal dog (and cat) meat trade in Baguio, Pangasinan, and Pampanga among other provinces.”
Her warning to animal cruelty culprits: “Sa lahat ng humuhuli, nagbebenta, kumakatay at nagluluto ng aspin at puspin alam namin kung nasaan kayo. Dadating din ang araw na mahuhuli kayo at makukulong kaya kung ako sa inyo tigilan niyo na yan.
“Sa lahat ng kumakain ng karne ng aso at pusa, hindi titigil ang ILIGAL na pagbenta ng karne ng aso at pusa kung patuloy kayong bibili at kakain. ILIGAL ang kinakain niyo. (4) Sa mga nakakaalam, magsalita kayo at higit sa lahat, MAGSUMBONG sa barangay o pulis."
Carla also asked the authorities to do their job.
“Sa mga barangay officials, local government officials at pulis na tinatamad at hindi inaaksyunan ang mga kaso ng animal cruelty, mahiya naman kayo. Parte po yan ng trabaho ninyo. #NoToAnimalCruelty”
Carla is known for being vocal about animal cruelty and an advocate of proper treatment to animals.
