The animal was reportedly beaten on the head which resulted in the crushing of its skull, just so beach-goers could take selfies with it. <br \/>  <br \/>  This type of behavior isn\u2019t unique to Lebanon, with selfie attempts resulting in the deaths of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/blog\/baby-dolphin-dies-after-being-pulled-from-ocean-for-selfies\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">a dolphin in Argentina<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedodo.com\/shark-dies-lifeguard-selfies-1865228097.html\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">a shark in the Dominican Republic<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/news.discovery.com\/animals\/sharks\/here-we-go-again-shark-dragged-from-surf-for-selfie-160222.htm\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">a shark in Florida<\/a>. What makes matters worse for Lebanese wildlife, though, is its lack of effective measures against animal cruelty. <br \/>  <br \/>  Animals Lebanon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AnimalsLebanon\/videos\/10154991976499922\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">has since rescued the animal<\/a>, with help from the Ministry of Agriculture and the Civil Defense, and it\u2019s on its way to recovery. While certain areas may be protected to ensure endangered sea turtles nest, the lack of effective protection prove that while laws must be in place, we need to give every effort to working with what we do have. <br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Rania Dabaghi<\/b>, BETA board member and volunteer coordinator, gave us some tips on using the resources we have to rock the boat.<\/big><br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <B><big><Big>1. Use an influencer<\/b><\/big><\/big><br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/47967-3-250x161.png\" width=\"100%\"><br \/>  <br \/>  <Big>You might not like it, but Lebanon is the land of <i>wasta<\/i>, or connections. Using someone with some clout might be the most effective way to make change in the short term. In one case, BETA was able to save starving animals from a pet shop by using a political influencer\u2019s sway in the region. Without this, said Dabaghi, they would not have been able to gain access. <br \/>  <br \/>  In 2012, the group found dozens of dead dogs in an abandoned open air puppy mill. The dogs were chained and died, bodies decaying under the sun\u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gk8iPPpetjQ&#038;feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">the video footage is gruesome<\/a>. In this case, BETA filed a complaint and invoked two breeches. One accused the owners of abusing their own dogs\u2014BETA\u2019s lawyers crafted an argument which uses an article banning abuse of your own pets. <br \/>  <br \/>  Still, while the mill owners had to pay penalties, the costs were grossly unbalanced. While BETA paid about $3,000 in legal fees, the mill owners had to pay 200,000 L.L. for their crimes. <br \/>  <br \/>  \u201cHe was hassled,\u201d said Dabaghi, rather than really paying the price for his actions. Still, she hopes that cases like this can set a precedent.<br \/>  <br \/>  \u201cIf the law changes and the penalties increase, what we did would set a precedent\u2026then we would have done something good for the animal cause.\u201d<\/big><br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <B><big><Big>2. Use a different perspective<\/b><\/big><\/big><br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/47967-2-250x166.png\" width=\"100%\"><br \/>  <br \/>  <big>Unfortunately, there is a reductive and counterproductive discourse governing the discussion of animal rights. \u2018People are dying and you want to talk about animals?\u2019 might be a comment you\u2019ll hear from a cross-section of the population. <br \/>  <br \/>  Dabaghi suggests putting a human perspective on complaints of animal abuse. Unfortunately, calling the police on a neighbor whose dog is barking and potentially being neglected or abused will probably not be met with any real enthusiasm.<br \/>  <br \/>  \u201cYou have to call it noise pollution,\u201d she said. Rather than telling the authorities that the dog is being abused, you can complain about the noise and hopefully force owners to bring their dogs inside or to take better care of them. Of course, there are never guarantees.<br \/>  <br \/>  \u201cWe don\u2019t know if they will treat him better, but this is the best that can be done. The more people complain, the more the police will get used to it. Nothing will change if we remain silent.\u201d<\/big><br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <B><big><Big>3. Use social media<\/b><\/big><\/big><br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/47967-1-250x181.png\" width=\"100%\"><br \/>  <br \/>  <big>While sea turtles are protected creatures, house pets like dogs and cats are not. While footage of an abused turtle was met with Animals Lebanon\u2019s rescue of the creature, the case is more complex for domesticated animals. Using the tools you have on-hand, like cell phones, can make make an impact if done persistently and collectively. <br \/>  <br \/>  \u201cPeople would think twice before doing anything,\u201d she said. \u201cThey might think, who might be taking a video now? We will be eliminating part of the abuse if everybody would move and do something.\u201d<\/big><br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <B><big><Big>4. Don\u2019t be a mere witness<\/b><\/big><\/big><br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/47967-250x141.png\" width=\"100%\"><br \/>  <br \/>  <Big>Still, recording and presenting abuse after the fact is not enough. In fact, you\u2019re also an accomplice to the abuse by not trying to stop it. <br \/>  <br \/>  In cases like the abuse of a chick in a school in Lebanon, or the abuse of animals on a university campus, Dabaghi said that while those captured on video are viewed as the main actors, it is also the person behind the camera who is as responsible. <br \/>  <br \/>  Coming to BETA or other similar organizations after the fact is not the same as standing up to the abuse.<br \/>  <br \/>  \u201cWe are not 911 in the States\u2014even the police are not the 911 of the States,\u201d she said, highlighting the limited power of institutions in Lebanon.<\/big><br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <B><big><Big>5. Take action consistently<\/b><\/big><\/big><br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/47967-4.png\" width=\"100%\"><br \/>  <br \/>  <Big>Being vocal once is not enough. Dabaghi is of the mind that repetitive, collective action has the ability to build and make change. <br \/>  <br \/>  Whether it\u2019s recording the plate number of someone who has violated a law or convention, reporting to the Ministry of Agriculture, or calling the police to complain about noise, there needs to be a consistent effort by citizens.<br \/>  <br \/>  \u201cIt\u2019s not one NGO which will change the world,\u201d she said, \u201cit is a common effort.\u201d<\/big>    <figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1
