Justice for Dog Whose Face Was Blown Off By Fireworks!

Here’s the horrible tale of what happened to Vucko, the German Shepherd.

Two intoxicated youths in Bosnia duct-taped a firework in a German Shepherd’s mouth and blew off his face. But the torture didn’t stop there. The poor dog, known as Vucko, wandered in agony for five days, unable to eat and with maggots infecting the meaty pulp of his ruined face. Vucko was finally picked up by authorities and euthanized after vets were unable to perform reconstructive surgery. 

Click here to see some footage of Vucko being examined by vets on the operating table, but be warned that it is extremely graphic. Notice the firework’s shell casing still embedded in the dog’s head.

Unfortunately, Vucko was euthanized, but his death doesn’t have to be in vain. This tragedy is a perfect opportunity to promote animal abuse awareness in an area where animal rights are practically nonexistent.

Take Action Now!
We must bring the animal abusers to justice and ensure that this inhumanity is never repeated. Click here to sign our petition to urge Bosnian authorities to hunt down the guilty parties and expose the severity of animal abuse. Don’t let Vucko die in vain!
Rest in peace, Vucko.
Vucko is not with us anymore. Its up to people to make sure he didn’t suffer in vain.

SARAJEVO -- Two intoxicated youths duct-taped a firework in a German shepherd's mouth and blew off his face. But the torture didn't stop there. The poor dog, known as Vucko, wandered for five days, unable to eat and with maggots infecting the meaty pulp of his ruined face. Vucko was finally picked up by authorities and euthanized after vets were unable to perform reconstructive surgery.

Here is EXTREMELY GRAPHIC footage of Vucko being examined by vets. Notice the firework's shell casing still embedded in the dog's head.

We must bring the animal abusers to justice and ensure that this inhumanity is never repeated; sadly, animal welfare laws are practically nonexistent in much of Eastern Europe. Sign this petition urging Bosnian authorities to hunt down the guilty parties, expose the severity of animal abuse, and create proper legislation that will protect animals. Don't let Vucko die in vain!
