HOW TO MAKE A COMPLAINT AFFIDAVIT FOR THE VIOLATION OF R.A. 8485 OR THE ANIMAL WELFARE ACT

You might be wondering why am I posting this article and the previous one. It's because, there are some people who are asking me about the things that they will need to prepare, to file a court case or file a complain at barangay level, regarding Animal abuse or cruelty. Aside from furnishing a copy of R.A. 8485 or THE ANIMAL WELFARE ACT, you will also need to make your own COMPLAINT AFFIDAVIT for the Violation of the R.A. 8485. Without proper documents, you might just be ignored by some people in your barangay or police. And, we don't want that to happen, right?! So, grab your pen and paper, and help save the animals! Let's act now, before it's too late...




There are few things that you have to remember, aside from furnishing a copy of R.A. 8485 or THE ANIMAL WELFARE ACT. Here are the things that you will need to write on your COMPLAINT AFFIDAVIT:

1. You should write on your affidavit the circumstances that led you to believe that such person/s will inflict harm or intend to inflict harm to the dogs or animals (whetherabuse or slaughtering them for food).

2. Write the instance, If ever you have seen them hurt or slaughter dogs or animals in the past?

3. If ever you already tried to approach them or warn them about the harm that they'll do to the animals, Was there anything they said?!

4. What are the things that convinced you that they were going to hurt or slaughter?


Note: There are no expenses involved with filing a case except perhaps for a filing fee of about P100 when you go to the Prosecutor's Office. PAWS volunteer lawyers can help you review your affidavit

COMPLAINT AFFIDAVIT

          Ako si HONESTO “Nikki” M. PARAFINA, matapos manumpa ayon sa batas, ay nagpapahayag ng mga sumusunod:

          1. Kami po ay may aso na ang pangalan ay si “Porky”.

          2. Dakong alas 10:00 pasado ng umaga, ika-6 ng Nobyembre, 2007, habang kami ng aking pinsan na si Allan Gutierrez ay nagpipintura sa may bandang labas ng aming bahay na pagmamay-ari ng aming lolo at lola sa nabanggit na address sa itaas, may mga nangyari upang ako ay magsampa ng reklamo laban sa aming kapitbahay na si Atty. J**** na nakatira sa tapat lang namin.

          3. Pagbukas ng aming gate upang pumasok ang dumating naming pinsan na si Joey, ay nakapuslit itong si “Porky” at ito ay tumakbo sa daan patungo sa park.

          4. Dahil bawal ang pagala-galang aso sa loob ng UP Village, agad tinawag ni Allan si “Porky”, at si “Porky” naman ay huminto at bumalik kaagad patungo sa aming bahay.

          5. Nang malapit na si “Porky” sa aming pintuan (gate) ay bigla kaming nakadinig ng putok ng baril na galing sa direksyon ng bahay sa aming tapat - **  Mapayapa St., U.P. Village, Quezon City, na kung saan nakatira itong si Atty. J****.

          6. Nakita namin ni Allan na may hawak-hawak na rifle itong si Atty. J**** kaya walang kaduda-duda na si Atty. J**** and nagpaputok.

          7. Nang suriin namin si “Porky” ay nakita namin na may tumutulong dugo sa may puwetan niya.

          8. Nuong araw din na iyon, nagsumbong ang aking lola na si Mrs. Lydia T. Mendoza sa Barangay upang ipa-blotter ang nasabing insidente.

9.  Inobserbahan muna namin si “Porky” at nang mapansin namin na wala siyang ganang kumain, matamlay, hirap maglakad at namumula ang mga mata ay dinala namin siya sa veterinary clinic na Vets on the Block kinabukasan, ika-7 ng Nobyembre, 2007.

          10. Ipina-confine si Porky sa nasabing clinic kung saan nakuha sa kanya ang bala na galing sa baril ni Atty. J****

          11. Patunay na dinala at ginamot si “Porky” ay aking linalakip ang Health Certificate, billing statement, at Official Receipt ng Vets on the Block, at aking minamarkahan ng ANNEXES “1”, “2” at “3”.

          12. Noong mga bandang 7:00 ng gabi ng ika-8 ng Nobyembre, 2007,  habang pinipinturahan ko ang bahay ng aso, itong isa pa naming aso na  si “Conan” ay nakasilip ang nguso sa ilalim ng aming gate.

          13. Bigla akong nakadinig ng putok ng air gun at ang bala ay nagpatalbog-talbog (ricochet) sa aming garahe kaya ako at ang aking pinsan ay nagtakip ng mukha sa takot na baka tamaan kami ng bala.

          14, Lumabas ako ng gate para tignan kung saan galing ang naturang bala at nakita ko si Atty. J**** na hawak pa ang kaniyang air rifle.

          15. Tinanong ko kung bakit niya ginawa iyon pero hindi na siya sumagot kundi umakto pa na itinutok ang nasabing baril sa akin.

          16. Tumalikod na lamang ako at bumalik sa aming bahay upang isumbong ang mga pangyayari sa mga kinaukulan.

          17. Nahaharap ngayon sa aming barangay ang inihain naming reklamo laban kay Atty. J**** sa salang MALICIOUS MISCHIEF at GRAVE THREATS.

          18. Sa kaniyang sagot sa aming reklamo sa barangay, na ang sipi ay aking ilinalakip dito bilang ANNEX “4”, hindi itinanggi ni Atty. J**** ang kaniyang pamamaril sa aming aso. Sa aming paghaharap at pagdinig sa barangay, inamin ni Atty. J**** na binaril nga niya ang aso. Ngunit pinilit niya na tama ang kaniyang ginawa.  Kami pa ang kaniyang inireklamo at hinihingian ng kung anu-anong gastos. 

          19. Ako ay naghahain ng reklamo laban kay Atty. J**** upang siya ay isakdal sa salang paglabag sa REPUBLIC ACT 8485 – THE ANIMAL WELFARE ACT.
