ANN/THE STRAITS TIMES – The Watchdog Thailand Foundation (WDT) has filed a lawsuit against a Thai man who threw a stray puppy into the sea, vowing to seek justice despite the man’s apology.
The video clip that went viral on February 7 shows a man picking up a puppy and throwing it into the sea, though he claimed that this action was intended to make the dog clean.
The puppy struggled to swim back to the shore. However, the man kept throwing the dog back into the water multiple times.
WDT posted a Facebook message that it wants to find this man, accusing him of animal abuse. “The puppy was scared and shocked because you threw it repeatedly,” the foundation said.
The video clip owner apologised on his Facebook post in response to the foundation’s demand. However, he justified his actions, saying the puppy had a lot of ticks on it. He also asked netizens to forgive him.
