A woman is helped after fainting following the exit of the van transporting the dog from Mrs Romero’s house
There was uproar yesterday at the
house of a Spanish nurse who was part of the medical team that treated two
Spanish priests who had contracted Ebola in Africa. The nurse, Mrs Romero
Ramos, 44, who is now quarantined, admitted she mistakenly touched her face
with an infected glove and turned herself in immediately she took ill.
Her dog, Excalubur who is also believed
to be infected was put to sleep yesterday at her home before health
practitioners took him away in an ambulance to be ‘destroyed’. A lot of
onlookers/neighbours stood still in front of Mrs Romero’s house screaming he
deserves a second chance and should also be treated as they tried to stop
health officials from taking him away.
They shouted ‘murderers’ and several
others threw themselves on the ground to stop the vehicle carrying the dog from
moving. It took police men a hard time to get the crowd to let the van pass as
some of them even fainted from the shock that the dog was been carried
away.
Some 300,000 people had already
signed a petition urging authorities to spare Excalibur. See more photos after
the cut.
