Regina was a rescue dog living in Ribercan shelter in the town of Carcaixent Valencia, Spain. On 29th May 2008, thugs broke into the shelter and Regina was sexually abused, tortured and killed during the attack on the premises. Other dogs were frightened away from the shelter when their quarters were badly damaged but Regina was petrified and too timid to fight back. Shelter volunteers said they had only just begun to gain Regina's trust.
We hope this song will help to alert people to the distressing problem of animal cruelty in Spain. This crime has not been investigated by the Spanish police or authorities. Laws must be implemented in Spain to protect stray dogs like Regina from criminals who see them as easy targets. Animal abuse leads to human abuse.
The Bright Eyes Society has offered a financial reward to help catch the person or persons responsible for this terrible crime against an innocent creature.
One day may there be for justice for Regina.
May we never forget what happened to this poor, wretched shelter dog. And in Regina's name may protection of voiceless animals be possible in Spain.
'Justice For Regina'
Regina, how we gonna come to terms with what they did to you?
Regina, what kinda world is this, look what they did to you
We're broken up, we're living through this holocaust
There's nowhere safe not even for a shelter dog
Regina, Regina...
They don't see the beauty in your trusting eyes
They never knew your story when they made you cry
They broke you down to nothing for a moment's thrill
Those bastards all they wanted was a thing to kill
And I would hurt them back if only I could spare your life
I'd go against my principles to put this right
I'd break my heart in two if only life was fair
Justice For Regina, we got to make them care.
Regina, homeless in a world that has so little love
Regina, stolen from good people who picked you up
There's nothing we can do or say what's done is done
But in your name we fight to save the innocent
Regina, Regina...
They don't see the beauty in your trusting eyes
They never knew your story when they made you cry
They broke you down to nothing for a moment's thrill
Those bastards all they wanted was a thing to kill
And I would hurt them back if only I could spare your life
I'd go against my principles to put this right
I'd break my heart in two if only life was fair
Justice For Regina, we gotta make them care.
And I would hurt them back if only I could spare your life
I'd go against my principles to put this right
I'd break my heart in two if only life was fair
Justice For Regina, we gotta make them care.
Oh, why don't people care?
Why don't people care?
La justicia para Regina
La justicia para Regina
Regina, Regina, Regina, Regina...
