Tragic Call

I was talking to my boss this morning and she was telling me that last night they heard on their scanner a neighbor to someone whose dog just had pups and they had seen the owner put all the puppies in the garbage can. The mommy to the pups was standing next to the garbage can crying. I think that is one of the most horrible things I have ever heard! If you don't want the puppies take them to a shelter...have you ever heard of something as horrible as this?

Oh some people make me sick, I personally think people with such actions should be put in gaol, I don't care if it is animals or humans they do these things to it is causing pain and pain is pain in my book, these people do not deserve to be treated with respect, I just don't know how people can do this sort of thing to another living thing...this is where I really hope that the saying "what goes around comes around" really happens...

Recently here in Minnesota they found a house where the owner had over 200 cats. Most were very ill etc. This is pure idiocy in my mind. There needs to be harsher punishments other than a fine. Send them to jail. Make them do community work at a humane society or an animal hospital. They need more than a small cash fine. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

This is ridiculous. If they don't want any puppies then they need to get the dog spayed or nuetered or not have a dog period. There ought to be a lwa barring people such as this from owning any type of pet in my eyes. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

That was horrible and heartless. I mean even the mother dog felt the pain of what her puppy had experienced. I dont know what to say anymore. II believe taht if they dont want the puppies, they could ask some friends or neighbors who wants to have pets. Or they could sell them to some pet shops. Its not right to just throw them away.

Well they did call the police but I think they should have called the animal right people too.....and there should be charges!

You are so right about that. Even animals that walk on four legs have maternal instincts and they know when their children are in danger. I believe that it was so messed up the owners handled the situation just because they didn't want the puppies. I think that the owners should be taken to jail. Someone should call the police and the ASPCA

OMG!!! That's so sad! No I've never heard or seen anyone do this! But I would hate to know anyone who has done this. :( I agree, if you don't want the puppies then you should just take them to the shelter so they can get homes that are good for them.

That's horrible! People like that shouldn't be able to have pets. It's pretty stupid to not get your pet fixed anyway if you don't want puppies. We love pets, and are thinking about getting another dog (I keep telling my husband that's what I want for Christmas), but we keep all of our pets fixed. They are enough unwanted fur babies in the world that need a loving home. I couldn't justify allowing my babies to bring more into the world. Not that mine would be unwanted, but still... Our pets are treated like members of our family. For instance right now, my cat is asleep on a shelf. One dog is in the recliner covered up with a throw blanket, and the other dog is asleep on the couch. I can't imagine having pets if you don't truly love them.

shitzu - shitzu pups
that's really horrible. how i pity those pups. if she can't find a shelter then she could have taken the effort to ask her neighbors if they want some pups. some people would have definitely, gladly taken them in. i haven't heard something as horrible as that but i know its a common practice here to throw away kitties and puppies if the owner doesn't want them. the animals would be lucky if they are found by good samaritans. ^_^

Dear Jillhill, Now a day people, for their own personal benefits, without considering the consequenses, act very badly as throwing the puppies in garbage. It is something horrible, I never head of it.

That's so disgusting! But unfortunately, not a very rare or non-existent happening as I thought it was awhile back.

I knew someone who would put puppies in a bag and throw them in water. So, yes, I've heard of something as horrible as this. It makes me cry to read what you have written. The poor mother. She didn't understand. I can't imagine the pain she must have gone through.

That is horrible. I don't know whats wrong with people How could you be so cruel. I really really wish they would increase the punishments for animal cruelty and I personly think that you should have to apply to own pets not just allow anyone and everyone to have them and treat them how ever they want. Sickening.

I agree with you...the punishment shoule be more then it is. Maybe some of it would stop!

I think people are just cruel to animals when they are scared of humans. When u see someone picking on an animal it only means that the person is too weak to pick on another human being. It hurts to see people being cruel to things that can't even pour themselves a glass of water. That just goes to show you that there are evil people in this world who don't care about living animals so you know they don't care about human beings. Did your neighbor call the cops?

There are sad sotires like this all the time in the state I live in. It's more pit bull fighting here than anything though. The animal cruelty laws here just are not suitable. Most of the time people here just get ticketed and fined. How could someone be so heartless to put puppies into a trash can. who are they to decide the fate of these puppies. If they didn;t want puppies it does not cost alot to have a female dog spayed, thats what they should have done in the first place. When I see puppies my first thought is awwwwwwwwww how cute, How could someones reaction to puppies be to throw them away. so sad

You are right about harsher laws....and neutering...if you don't want puppies take the steps to prevent it!
