A video has gone viral on Thursday showing dogs trembling and suffering after being fed poison in the vicinity of the Kuwaiti Embassy in Beirut.
Members from the Municipality of al-Ghobairi poisoned the stray dogs, killing them in cold blood and in public leaving behind barbaric and offensive scenes.
The municipality said it was an individual act perpetrated by members from the health detachment in an individual manner and without any order from the mayor, adding that they were referred for interrogations so that the necessary procedures will be taken against them.
In parallel with the statement, sources from the municipality said that these dogs represented a danger to the citizens.
However, the videos released showed the members arriving in an organized manner, driving the municipality’s vehicle and wearing their official uniform, bringing with them poisoned cans of food and did the deed in broad daylight.
