Animal cruelty

The lab mix called Pepper was found emaciated, with the zip ties still binding her legs after she was seemingly buried alive.

"At the examination, both dogs were extremely emaciated and shook when standing still," said animal welfare inspector Robert Baldie.

The dog's body was found emaciated, and surveillance footage showed a man throwing the animal out of his truck in the early hours of the morning.

The images shared by animal shelter Bark Nation show the dog sheltering inside a chip box, where he was found with "broken bones protruding from his legs."

Almost 500 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube every minute, and the platform struggles to remove animal abuse content, according to recent statistics.

One puppy was dead at a home in San Miguel County while an adult dog, possibly its mother, whimpered nearby.


"These tigers have never felt grass or earth under their paws. It's the first time they can see the sky above them, not just metal bars and a roof," vet Amir Khalil said.

"I called him neglectful, irresponsible, a liar and cruel for keeping Leo tied outside and making him feel unloved and isolated," the owner fumed.

Police investigating the death of the dog described it as a "terrible act."

The dog, King, continues to undergo treatment and evaluation.

Olympus was emaciated and left in the cold when he was found by the shelter's security. Now, he's heading to his forever home with a family.

The animals contributed to a large influx of approximately 700 total animals rescued by the local Humane Society in January, spreading its resources thin.

Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), investigating, described the incident as "distressing".

The dog, which had been roaming around the junkyard for a month, was barely able to walk when rescuers found him.

The compilation video showed dogs being forced into water where crocs were lurking, while the person filming appeared to stand by and watch.

The owner of the property from which the dogs were seized has been charged with two counts ill-treatment of animals and one count of a rabies control violation.

"I never thought a human could be so cruel or do what he did to that poor dog," a coworker of the dog's owner said.

Surveillance footage showed the dog attempting to follow the person before collapsing in the parking lot.
