Netizens came to aid the grief-stricken owner and expressed anger over the incident.
A certain Recah Ramos commented: “Ang sakit sa puso ng mga ganitong story. May mga tao talagang sagad sa buto ang kasamaan. Kelan kaya matatapos ang mga ganyang animal cruelty?”
(This kind of story pains me. There are people who are really terrible. When will animal cruelty end?)
“I got teary eyed by just looking at him. I felt how helpless he seems to be now I felt how he wants to be saved and treated,” Agustine Cotas commented.
Another commenter encouraged Lim to have it reported to Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) as animal cruelty is visible in this incident.
The neighbor hasn't been identified yet, and Lim hasn't file any charges either. Her response will definitely clear doubts and will shed light to the story.
