The tragic story of a dog being hacked to death is repeating in Sancti Spíritus, causing outrage among animal protectors, who have now identified the alleged perpetrator and are demanding justice from the Cuban regime.
Natasha Zapata reported the latest act of violence against an animal in the Facebook group "SOS Callejeros. Cuba," identifying the individual Y.A.C. as the aggressor.

According to the complainant, the man also owns a mare with which he exhibits inappropriate behaviors, which is why she urged the authorities to take legal action against him, citing the Animal Welfare Act.
Zapata also pointed out that the man is a cook at a slaughterhouse: "I also can't understand how he works preparing food when he is unhygienic," he stated.
The woman lamented the existence of unscrupulous individuals and emphasized that the relevant authorities must intervene, as she fears for the life of the aggressor's mare and any other animals in his care.
In the comments section, Elizabeth Herrera Rodríguez explained that the dog lost an eye and that at the time of the violent incident, it had wandered away from home and was in the aggressor's house.
"Then the owner appeared, who has given her all the care and love she deserves," he noted.
This is not the first time a dog has fallen victim to a violent incident of this nature.
In May, a similar incident occurred in the province of Sancti Spíritus. After being rescued by animal protectors, the dog Yeiko is recovering well in the warmth of his home, alongside his family.
The ARCA Sancti Spíritus Foundation published photos on Facebook this Sunday showing the dog sleeping peacefully and still recovering from its injuries and trauma.
"Their wounds have begun to heal, and the desire to play is returning, so much so that his mom is now covered in scratches. Yeiko is a happy dog and will soon trust in the good will of humans once again, as his heart continues to heal," the animal rights advocates pointed out.
