Upon learning of the tragedy, his devastated owner decided to sue those responsible; however, he has run into a huge wall due to the weak animal protection laws that exist in that country. The unfortunate incident has unleashed a wave of global outrage over the lack of justice for pets and the fear that, if something similar were to happen to anyone’s pet, there would be no law to protect them.
