Excalibur, the dog owned by a Spanish nursing assistant infected with Ebola, has been put down by order of health officials even after its owners and animal rights campaigners tried to save its life.
Health authorities were planning the action because of the risk the dog could spread the disease, Fernando Simon, coordinator of the center of alerts and emergencies at Spain’s health ministry, told COPE radio station earlier today.
