(NewsNation) — The popular Instagram account We Rate Dogs took a break from rating cute puppies to call out Customs and Border Protection for allegedly killing a family’s dog.
The account has a large following and is dedicated to rating pictures of dogs and boosting dog-related GoFundMe campaigns.
But it recently shared a news story from last month about an El Paso, Texas, family who said CBP agents raided their home in search of migrants and shot the family dog, Chop.
“Unsurprisingly, they did not care enough to help the family as they tried to save him,” We Rate Dogs wrote. “Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place. Do not open your door for these f****** losers. Rest easy Chop.”
The family said agents arrived at a home belonging to the adult son, who said he would allow agents to search his home and told them he put Chop, a rottweiler, in the bathroom for their safety.
But when he went to get his ID, the family says agents entered the house, let Chop out and shot him. They say that the agents wouldn’t help them render aid to their pet, who bled to death on the floor.
They also say the agent who shot the dog hid from them and wouldn’t provide a name.
At the time of the story, CBP said it was looking into the incident.
