Strange story reported on the Que Pasa Salta website and spotted by Harvey. There is occasionally room on PoC for dogs. I hope people agree. There are no pictures – sorry.
Location: Argentina.
This is an amended Google translation:
Yesterday a girl of 12 years was caught in the street by a pedophile. When he was about to sexually abuse her he was attacked by five stray dogs that suddenly appeared on the scene. A neighbor looked on and called the police.
It happened at 9:30 in the Riviera neighborhood. It is believed that the girl was walking alone toward Roberto Romero taking something to her aunt.
Passing through a field, she was attacked by an unknown man who covered her mouth and dragged her to a secluded location.
By the time the abuser tried to rape her he was attacked by five dogs attracted by the girl’s cries.
While the pedophile defended himself against the dogs, the girl fled and asked for help at the home of a local resident.
Police went to the scene and contacted the family of the little girl.
The man is a fugitive.

Caroline you obviously haven’t read this page where this is already discussed:
https://pictures-of-cats.org/PoC-cat-charity-donations-5-cents-per-comment-scheme.html
we don’t all have money to donate here because in our case every last spare penny goes to support local needy cats at 2 Sanctuaries.
Asking each commentator to donate will only stop us commenting, not because we don’t want to, but simply because we don’t have the money.
I think it will stop people commenting. I think you will be surprised how much PoC is raising for charity on 5 cents per comment. Wait and see.
Thank you Caroline – actually you don’t have to do anything except comment as usual on Sunday to whatever articles get posted. I’m going to do the donating.
I am deeply moved by what you feel for your Red Tabby. It shows in every word that you write. Bless his Beautiful, handsome soul. I feel for You. -cal
Michael, are up and about yet? Good morning! 🙂
I’ve been thinking that maybe for every nickel donated by PoC for each comment, why not ask each commentator to donate a nickel as well? That is, one dime per comment. You keep the tally, and we pay at the end of the month if we decide to keep our end of it… what do you think about that idea?
Marc’s beloved Red, beautiful red tabby, will get a tribute from me as well. (Do we have to use PayPal, Marc? do you know if VISA debit is okay?)
I will try to respond later today towards your comments. I don’t disagree with you much. I’m tired. Hope you respond to this later.
