Excalibur, The Dog exposed to Ebola, awaits his fate (Video)

Madrid’s regional government says it’s going to kill the pet dog of a Spanish woman who became infected with Ebola.

Authorities said in a statement Tuesday that available scientific knowledge indicates there’s a risk the dog could transmit the deadly virus to humans.

When a group of men wearing white protective suits showed up outside the nurse and her husband’s home, animal rights activists chanted: “Murderers! Killers!”

The nurse’s husband, who has also been quarantined, recorded a video appeal.

“Hello, I’m Javier, Teresa Romero’s husband. I’m in the hospital and I’m asking everybody to help me save my dog Excalibur. They want to kill it without giving it a chance (no tests, no quarantine…),” he said in the appeal.

There are no documented cases of dogs passing the Ebola virus to humans.

More than 300,000 people signed an online petition to save Excalibur before it was killed by authorities.
