This week a tiny (under 2kg) Maltese Poodle was euthanized after spending time at the vet, awaiting owners to claim.
On closer inspection it was confirmed that this little dog had lived a life of hell.
An inverted eyelid (causing damage to the cornea), cataracts on both eyes, a long-term ear infection, matted fur and mammary cancer in all her teats.
The vet confirmed that she must have been a breeding dog and that she’d endured a lifetime of suffering.
I traced the owners and saw luxury vehicles parked in the driveway of a grand home.
I am appalled that people are so heartless and realise there are many who just don’t care.
This is the worst case of cruelty I’ve experienced in a while and unfortunately people get away with it.
