Recently in Paris, a group of animal rights activists ambush a homeless man as he was siting with his puppy, cuddled together on the side of the street. As a man and a woman jumped the man sitting on the street, his puppy tried to hide behind his suitcases. As the homeless man was trying to get up, his puppy was carried away, looking clearly traumatized; exactly like his owner.
The activists represent the group ‘Cause Animale Nord’. During the struggle, the woman was heard telling the man that: “You do not have the right… it’s against the law” as he attempts to grab at the puppy, while bystanders look on with shocked expressions. One shouts “it’s his dog”, but nobody steps in to help the crying man.
The organization claims that the puppy’s owner drugged him and that’s the reason for why the puppy was so quiet and still in his arms. They are also looking to find a new home for him, but are under pressure to return it to its owner. Over 220,000 people have signed a petition calling for an investigation into the group’s conduct.
Anthony Blanchard, president of Cause Animale Nord, issued a statement which read: “This video only shows a moment of our intervention, the puppy of two months, not vaccinated, which was in complete illegality of French legislation on the Paris pavement, a puppy that the Roma had drugged so it remained calm and did not move.”
