Activists Snap Animals Left To Die On Taal Volcano

These images show the horses, dogs and baby chickens which have been left to die on Taal Island after the volcano’s activity left them with a severe lack of food and water after their owners evacuated the island.

Activists from PETA Asia landed on Taal Island in Batangas Province, in the Philippines on 13th January to capture footage of the deserted animals left on the island and try to rescue them.

In the clip, the activists can be seen rescuing horses - which had reportedly been used to transport tourists - from the island, while the body of a dead cow can be seen floating in the water.
