I call on @Corantioquia or wildlife conservation entities to verify the case, I also ask them for help by sharing to see if we can find the right people to save the lives of these animals,” commented the Antioquian.

Once the publication went viral, the positive comments towards Higuita did not wait. In fact, There were Internet users who even nominated him as a strong candidate for the presidency of the Republic.highlighting its management so that the animals were not sacrificed.

An animal may be euthanized for public health reasons. In cases where the animal carries a contagious disease that represents a significant risk to other species or to humans, veterinary authorities may decide to euthanize it as a preventive measure. This is common in outbreaks of diseases such as rabies or bird flu.

Another common reason for slaughtering an animal is irreversible suffering. When an animal suffers from an incurable medical condition that causes pain and general deterioration in its quality of life, veterinarians may choose to euthanize it to prevent prolonged suffering. This decision is usually made after evaluating all possible treatment options.

Overcrowding, especially in animal shelters, can also lead to culling. In many animal control facilities, the capacity to house and care for all rescued animals is limited. When adoptive homes cannot be found for these animals, some shelters resort to culling as a measure to manage overpopulation and make room for new arrivals.

Finally, an animal may be euthanized for wildlife control reasons. In areas where certain species become invasive and cause significant damage to the environment or the local economy, authorities may implement population control measures that include culling. This is part of broader ecosystem conservation and management efforts.
