What it takes to bring justice for animals: Why convictions are rare

Trigger warning: This episode discusses animal cruelty, including instances of abuse, neglect, and mistreatment. Some content may be distressing for listeners.

Following the recent conviction of a mall security guard for killing a puppy, conversations around animal cruelty and accountability have resurfaced. While public outrage is often swift, justice is not.

In this rerun of Teka Teka, PAWS chief attorney Anna Cabrera explains why most animal cruelty cases in the Philippines never reach court, even when incidents are documented or shared online. We break down the country’s animal welfare laws, the importance of eyewitness affidavits, and the limits of relying on social media for justice.
