Indra, At a Texas ranch, authorities recently discovered multiple burn pits containing animals' bones and ashes, as well as starving dogs left to wither away in scalding summer heat. Some dogs died that way, and their corpses were left to simply rot in the sun. A black trash bag just barely concealed a dead dog. A different container had been stuffed with partially-burnt dogs.
According to official records, the owner of the Freedom Ranch Laredo facility was allegedly withholding food, proper water, medical care, and sanitary conditions from the animals there. Based on text messages with another associate of the facility, it appears she knew she was doing this and that it was willful.
There were nearly 30 dogs at the facility when authorities arrived. All of the dogs were seized from the premises — and the vast majority were very sickly. Most were severely malnourished, dehydrated, and underweight. Some had mange. One was sick with cancer. Others had diseases from parasites that had advanced past the point of intervention. Ultimately, veterinarians were forced to euthanize three of the dogs, though the others are in treatment.
It's clear that the woman who owned the ranch requires psychological intervention, immediately, in order to keep others around her safe. Sign the petition to demand mandatory mental health services, as well as a permanent ban on animal ownership! |
