The dog Zeus, 4 years old, died from being massacred with a shovel near Toulouse

“Zeus was a love. He was slaughtered for two goats.” Emilie is in shock. Last Wednesday, she suddenly learned of the death of her young 4-year-old dog, a decategorized staff that she had taken in, with her companion, at the age of 1 at the SPA.

“That evening, around 9 p.m., he escaped. This rarely happens to him. We looked for him but we didn’t find him.” Emilie will later learn the rest of the evening from Zeus. “He arrived 800 meters from my partner’s house, at the neighbors’ house. At 9:45 p.m., they called the SACPA, that is to say the Bonrepos-sur-Aussonnelle pound. The person who called said that “He was playing quietly with his dogs. The SACPA told him that someone was coming and that he had to be tied up in the meantime, but they didn’t do it.”

According to Emilie’s information, the SACPA arrived an hour later in Bessières. “They discovered that Zeus had been beaten to death with a shovel. According to what we know, Zeus entered an electrified enclosure of goats and attacked two of them. That’s why he was massacred with shovels.

Autopsy at the veterinary school

Emilie does not understand this relentlessness and doubts the scenario told to SACPA. “There are deer on our land, he has never attacked them. All the people who come to the house say he is a sweetheart. He has never attacked any human.”

The gendarmerie came to the scene and the shovel was confiscated. Zeus’ remains were given to the veterinary school. “The autopsy confirmed that he had received multiple blows with a shovel and that his death was due to a heart attack.”

Emotion grips Emilie’s voice. She reaffirms: “We are skeptical. He is used to chickens and ducks. He has never done anything. It is an act of cruelty.”

Gendarmerie investigation

A complaint has been filed and an investigation is open. It was entrusted to the Union gendarmes who must hear all the protagonists in order to understand why Zeus was beaten with a shovel to the point of dying of a heart attack.

Traumatized and shocked, Emilie and her companion contacted Céline Gardel, the president of the animal defense association Les4Pattounes who intends to become a civil party alongside the couple.
