A British dog who had eaten the body of its deceased master at home was supposed to be destroyed humanely, but the 10-year-old bullfighter had not only escaped his death, but could have been adopted by other masters to find a new family.
This dog-eating incident last year, in which this bull-fighter, called Butch, and the owner were killed in the northern part of England in Liverpool, was believed by his master to have died in a single-occupancy situation and no mention was made of the cause of death. Butch, after the master's death, was confined to his house for lack of water and food, and eventually only started eating the master's body for survival.
The police later reported to the scene and found the tragedy, but the police stated that Butch ' s visible interest was aggressive and applied to the court for his humanitarian destruction.
An animal-friendly group launched a campaign to save Butch, arguing in court that Butch had been trapped in the house for four days and that it was dog nature without water or food. Nor did the court's decision prove that the dog's death and Butch had anything to do with it and should not be destroyed humanely. As a result, the court awarded value to the animal organization, while agreeing that Butch could find a new owner.
