Five puppies beaten to death
|
|
On Tuesday 23rd December 2008, I received the following email from someone who had been alerted to an appalling act of animal abuse in Thessaloniki. It's Christmas in two days but that didn't stop the person who did this. No words can describe how I'm feeling after seeing this. Yesterday (Monday 22 Dec.), a man phoned me to say he had seen 5 puppies running near a stream on Sunday night while walking his dog.I was in Thessaloniki all day so I asked him if he would go and put some food and water for them. I would then go on Tuesday to see how I could help. After two hours the man phoned me; I could tell by his voice how upset he was. Some bastard had tied the puppies in a rubbish bag and beaten them to death....... One puppy had managed to get out of the bag before it died. The area is farming land so the puppies were not disturbing anyone. There is one photo with a small church in the background to prove to people that this happened in Greece Halkidiki. Not that the sight of the church helped them. J.

IMPORTANT UPDATE!
I have since learned that the man who abandoned the puppies was 'identified'. His female German Shepherd had given birth to NINE pups 2 months earlier.
He decided to keep one and he found a home for another, then drove with 7 pups less than 2 miles from his home,
left 2 pups in a cardboard box, then drove half a mile further and abandoned the remaining 5 in a field. When confronted and shown a photo of the battered puppies, he admitted to abandoning them. He seemed shocked by what had
happened to them, but it was pointed out to him that he was as guilty for what happened as the evil person who put them in a sack
and battered them to death. He also promised to get the mother spayed and he will be checked on to ensure that he does.
