Just before 3 pm CST today, New Year’s Day, Jessica Pena was waiting at the Falfurrias, Texas Border Patrol Checkpoint when she witnessed a Border Patrol Agent reportedly kneeing and kicking a K9. After videotaping the incident, Pena got out of her vehicle and approached the agents. Here’s what she says happened next:
“….Does anyone recognize this Border patrol agent? She dragged the dog took him to the side of the building and started kicking him. I tried getting off my car to maybe ask her to stop cause it was ugly. They yelled and told me to get back in my car. I asked them why she was doing that and the excuse I was given was that he was chocking. And then they told me K9s discipline dogs in their own ways. So is this proper discipline? The dog walking with his tail tucked in should tell you how he feels.. I am in shock! Full of emotions and disbelief in what I just witnessed- videos were taken at 2:51 pm at the Falfurias Check Point….”
I have included two of the organizations to contact. I will also be following
up with them as well.
