Protest In Spain Over Killing Of Ebola Carrier Dog. by Segadem(m): 10:42am On Oct 09, 2014 |
Health authorities in Spain have put to death the dog of a nurse infected with the Ebola virus in Madrid, sparking protests from animal rights groups. Activists scuffled with police outside her home as the dog was taken away. The nurse, Teresa Romero, is the first person known to have contracted the deadly virus outside West Africa. She had treated two missionaries who later died from Ebola. The virus has killed 3,879 people, mostly in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. A court order to euthanise Ms Romero’s dog was issued on Tuesday despite uncertainty over whether the animal was also infected or risked spreading the disease. On Wednesday about 50 animal rights activists held a protest outside the nurse’s home in Madrid, shouting “assassins”. Two protesters were hurt when they tried to stop the van in which the animal was being transported, El Pais newspaper reported. The fate of the dog, named Excalibur, sparked huge interest on social networks, after Ms Romero’s husband, who like her is being kept in isolation in a hospital, alerted animal protection groups via social networks. |

Which is more important, animal's life or human's life? Instead of them to join hands in preventing the virus from spreading they were fighting for animal's right. |

wazoboy: Let's be critical about the Spanish decision. 1. Ebola is deadly. 2. We have little control on animals. 3. The dog cannot be quarantine easily. 4. There is a high likelihood that strangers will play with the dog. 5. If human can run away from isolation wards, dogs can do worse. |

saintneo:1)Yes, ebola is deadly 2) Not true for a tamed house-dog in Europe, maybe possible with Nigeria/African local dogs! 3)The dog can be quaratined more easily than humans, with chains and cages! 4) how can strangers play with properly quaratined dog. 5) with heavy chains and strong cage, how can the dog run away? Lions are kept in zoos, in cages and they hardly run away, except on rare occassions which are mostly due to human negligence. We are talking about only one dog here, or have they started putting down all dogs in Spain? If they fail to study this one house-dog, how will they handle hundreds of roaming street-dogs? |
