A minor would be one of those responsible for supplying the substance to the dog.
What aggravates the situation even more is that those who would have supplied the substance to the dog are minors. In response, the Colombian Institute of Family Welfare (ICBF) began the relevant investigations.
For his part, the councilor and animal defender, Camilo Machado, explained that “the 14-year-old minor has various quite serious psychosocial and family problems. At this moment he is under the guardianship of his grandmother, and that is why we activated the route with the ICBF and the Childhood and Adolescence Police for complete accompaniment of his entire process.
The authorities have called on the community to continue reporting any type of animal abuse. In addition, they have emphasized the importance of responsibility and respect for animals.
