Salma Hayek revealed Friday that her beloved dog, Mozart, was fatally shot a week ago.
I haven't posted for a week as I been mourning the death of my dog, Mozart who I personally delivered out of his mother's womb. He was found dead in my ranch last Friday with a shot close to his heart. I am hoping that the Washington State authorities do justice to this wonderful dog whom in 9 years never bit or attacked anyone. He loved his territory and never strayed away...he was the most loving and loyal companion. He didn't deserve a slow and painful death. #doglover #animalrights #dog #dogoftheday #rip #delivery #washingtonstateauthorities Hace una semana que no pongo nada ya que he estado de duelo por la muerte de mi perro Mozart. De quién fui la partera, lo encontramos el viernes pasado con un tiro cerca del corazón. Espero que las autoridades del estado de Washington le hagan justicia a este extraordinario perro que durante 9 años nunca mordió o atacó a nadie, adoraba su territorio y nunca se escapó. Era el compañero más leal y no se merecía una muerte lenta y dolorosa. #muerte #perro #justiciaporlosanimales

“I haven't posted for a week as I been mourning the death of my dog, Mozart who I personally delivered out of his mother's womb,” the actress wrote on Instagram. “He was found dead in my ranch last Friday with a shot close to his heart.”
Hayek added that Mozart, 9, had never been aggressive at all. “He loved his territory and never strayed away ... he was the most loving and loyal companion,” she wrote. “He didn't deserve a slow and painful death.”
The “Frida” star has long been vocal about her strong love of animals, posting photos of her numerous pets -- including multiple rescue animals -- on Instagram.
I rescued my Mexican street dog #lupe 15 years ago and she's been my #bff and my greatest companion. What a better way to show someone your love this #Christmas than giving them a #rescuedog. You save a dog, save some money haha but you might also be saving the person you are giving it to. Like my #lupe saved me #christmasgift #rescuedog. Rescaté a mi perra #Lupe en las calles de #Mexico hace 15 años y ha sido mi #bff y mi gran compañera. Qué mejor manera de demostrar #amor esta #Navidad que el regalo de un #perrorescatado. Salvas un perro, ahorras dinero jaja pero quizá también estás salvando a la persona a quien se lo regalas, como mi #lupe me salvó a mi.

“I have five horses, four alpacas, one cat, eight dogs, one hamster, five parrots, two fish,”
she told Ellen DeGeneres in 2013. “I’m sure i’m forgetting something. This is like giving thanks at the Oscars, you know you forget someone.” She then added that she also has rabbits, turkeys and chickens.
Let’s hope she finds justice for Mozart soon.
