In Villavicencio, an accident has generated outrage: three adults were on the motorcycle carrying a baby, a dog ran across the road and could not stop, and the motorcycle also got off and kicked the injured animal.
Colombian News.
On Catama Avenue in Villavicencio, a dog was run over when it was crossing the road, on the motorcycle that hit it, there were three adults carrying a baby.
In addition to the overcrowding and the obvious lack of traffic regulations, there is outrage because the motorist got out and kicked the injured dog in the street.
The baby they were carrying as a passenger in the arms of a woman apparently suffered no injuries. Neither the other two adults.
However, while writhing in pain, the dog was kicked by the motorcycle.
One of the women who was a barbecue complained to the driver for kicking the dog, and he went and picked it up and put it on the platform.
It was learned that the dog died, the internal injury from the motorcycle hit at the speed it was going, caused it to bleed.
The mayor of the capital of Meta, Felipe Harman, has asked the motorcycle driver to report to a police station and answer for the accident, as well as a traffic penalty.
Help us find this man who not only broke traffic rules, exposing his life and that of a minor, but also hit the little animal that was crossing the street.

Controversy
The debate is about non-compliance with traffic regulations and the risk to which all those who were on the motorcycle were exposed, “because it was also going at full speed passing a corner and crossing”, they were carrying a baby.
However, it is also questioned whether the dogs really were from the street or if they were let out of a house without accompaniment or leashes.
Likewise, they question the administration about the high presence of stray animals, crossing the roads and in other spaces, “without being attended to or helped by their administration,” they claim Harman.
