Filipina girl group 4th Impact received criticism on social media recently after they established a GoFundMe to finance the future farm of their almost 200 Shih Tzu dogs.
Amid the criticism they were receiving, 4th Impact enjoyed their bonding together during Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Singapore.
VIP tickets for the said tour are estimated to cost S$1,228 each, which doesn’t include, plane tickets, hotel stay, and food.
It can be recalled that the group attempted to raise P5.6-M online as they were forced to separate some of their dogs due to complaints from neighbors.
“That’s why we’re reaching out to you today. We dream of providing our furry friends with a safe and expansive farm where they can live out their days in happiness and freedom. it’s a dream born from our deepest love and dedication to these animals who have brought us so much joy,” 4th Impact member Almira wrote.
“Your generosity and support would mean the world to us. Every contribution brings us one step closer to turning our dreams into reality. And as we embark on this journey, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you,” she added.
However, it was discovered that members of 4th Impact had some history of selling their Shih Tzu online, which prompted the netizens to criticize the group for ‘backyard breeding.’
It can be recalled that Animal Welfare Act or RA8485 banned the said practice.
