Man confronted over jet washing dog at Cork petrol station
A man who used a jet wash on a dog at a petrol station was confronted by a concerned bystander.
Shocking footage of the man appearing to use the pressure washer on the helpless pooch has been circulating on social media.
The dog, which can be heard yelping, is seen trying to flee by running around a car, but is followed by the man with the jet washer, reports Cork Beo.
According to an animal charity, chemicals in the washers could burn the skin of the animal, and is “so dangerous” for them.
They said the person who took the video confronted the man at the Inver petrol station in Cork, Ireland, but was shouted at.
The incident was reported to Gardai in Togher, Cork.
A spokesperson for the gardai said: “An Garda Síochána is aware of reports of an incident involving a dog which occurred in the Bishopstown area of Cork last Friday.
“An Garda Síochána is making enquiries in relation to this incident and is asking anyone who witnessed this incident to please contact local Gardaí.”
People flooded Cork Beo’s Facebook page to vent their fury at the man and express their concerns for the pooch.
One person commented: “He shouldn’t be allowed to keep a dog, as he’s oblivious to the fact that you shouldn’t do that to an animal.”
“How anyone could think this was OK to do on a poor dog,” wrote another.
A third person added: “That’s really cruel. Hope the poor dog is ok and that it’s taken off him.”
“I hope that poor dog was taken off of him. That is an absolute act of cruelty. Who would do something like that to an animal? I have no words,” said another.
“Put your hand under the tip of a power washer, and any person would regret it fast as you’ll be blistered badly from it. Imagine what that poor animal felt,” wrote another.
