Dog sprayed with swastika

Family dog sprayed with swastika

A dog owned by a family living in a moshav in the Sharon is found Saturday morning with a black swastika spray-painted on his head; 'If I knew who did it, I would take him to Yad Vashem.’

The Kessler family was surprised Saturday morning when they learnt that someone has sprayed a swastika on the head of their dog, Tim.

 

 

"The dog was loose outside at night, and in the morning when my wife saw him she was surprised to discover that someone had painted a swastika on his head," says Omri Kessler, the father of the family.

 

"It is horrifying to see a swastika in the Land of Israel," he added. "It is even more appalling that someone grabbed the dog and drew a swastika on him. It's abuse."

According to Omri, members of the family complained to the police about the animal abuse.

 

The family, which lives in Kfar Vitkin, a moshav in central Israel, is not aware whether this is the act of a single person or a group of people who caught the dog and committed the malicious act. They asked the public to contact them anonymously if they knew the identity of the abusers.

 

 

"We published the incident both on Facebook and on the community website in the moshav," Kessler said. "If I knew who did it, I would take him for a whole day to tour Yad Vashem to understand the meaning of the deed."

 

Tim was not injured in the incident, but didn't enjoy the several washes his owners had to give him in order to rid him of the swastika.
