Say No to electrocution of strays in Philippines

Manila City:Description of scene:

(Beyond the gas chamber)

2nd gate from entrance to pound.
Garage type. Bloody floor from previous day or early that day. Fly infested. Fishy odor from blood.
Cage constructed for electrocution in this area.
Separate wide cage for 10 dogs awaiting electrocution also in this area.

3rd gate from entrance to pound.
Holding area of captured dogs awaiting death sentence.
Dogs are grouped per cage depending on schedule for electrocution
Dogs in this area are here for days or weeks with no water nor food
Dogs mostly with skin disease

PROCEDURE:

Orderly pulls out a dog from the waiting cage with a long steel pole with a rope at the end.
Dog is dragged, suffocating, to the electrocution chamber crying.
Orderly even mocks the dog! Seems to enjoy his power over the helpless dog.
Dog is pushed inside the chamber (cage) to be electrocuted.

Cage description for electrocution:

average size, with bars. Steel roof that goes down to the dog.
The dog is literally sandwiched then vet releases electricity which goes to the roof then passed to the dog.
Note: dog/s will be in varying positions.
The roof sometimes tips. Only some parts of the dog are electrocuted.

Volts: 300volys for 3 seconds

Effect: dog is still alive in pain crying.

Vet repeats the procedure.

Most of the dogs die on the 2nd try.

The dead dogs are put in a big weighing scale one on top of the other. Then in batches of ten, their stomachs are slit.
(This explains the bloody floor.)
Vet puts/injects enzymes per dog.
Dogs are brought to a decomposing vat where they are kept for a week.
The bodies turn into powder like form then probably dumped in the back of the pound.
Back of the pound is the Manila North Cemetery.

*Warning*  Upsetting Pictures

These barbaric practices simply are not allowed in civilized societies such as ours. Electrocution causes  a slow and painful death for these animals.

We the undersigned call for humane methods of euthanasia such as lethal injection when necessary and for the City of Manila to adopt a spay/neuter programme for stray dogs
