Thousands dead... but it's a dog that sparks an outcry: Spanish Ebola nurse's pet Excalibur is PUT DOWN over fears it could transmit the disease, as crowd of animal lovers chants 'murderers' outside her home

A Spanish ebola victim’s pet dog was put down last night over fears it could transmit the disease, prompting outrage from animal lovers who chanted ‘murderers’ outside the woman’s home.

Fury erupted after a government health spokesman confirmed that Teresa Romero Ramos’s dog, Excalibur, had been destroyed. The official explained: ‘Unfortunately we had no other choice.’

The animal was put to sleep inside Mrs Romero Ramos’s home, which was disinfected before the animal’s body was taken away in a white van to a nearby incinerator.

These animal roghts protesters put animals above humans. They are crazy and dangerous.  They should be treated harshly with extreme prejudice like terrorists on the same level as ISIS/ISIL, Al-Qaeda, etc. 

The commemts are equally idiotic.

It was needlessly put to death. It would not have taken much to quarantine the dog, and chances of it transmitting the disease to someone else are much less than what what it would be with a human.
