In a disturbing incident in Buenavista, Zamboanga City, residents were shocked to find 14 goats dead and scattered in the grass. The goats, discovered on a Tuesday morning, bore bite marks, and some were even decapitated. The nephew of the goat owner suspects that stray dogs in the area might be responsible for this gruesome attack.
This unfortunate event has resulted in a significant financial loss for the goat owner, estimated at around PHP 40,000. In a gesture of community sharing, the deceased goats were distributed among the neighbors. However, the incident has raised concerns among residents about the safety of their livestock and the potential threat posed by stray dogs.
The local community is now seeking assistance from the government to address the issue of stray dogs to prevent similar incidents in the future. This incident, reported on GMA Regional TV’s Balitang Bisdak and GMA Integrated News, highlights the challenges faced by rural communities in safeguarding their livestock and the broader issues of animal control and public safety.
