Justice

Paco, a community dog from Lima, Peru, spends his days protecting a few blocks of his neighborhood. He is loved and fed by local residents and no one ever expected this loyal pet to get abused, let alone, that his abuser would be a volunteer firefighter.

This past November, a beautiful and friendly dog, now named Oatmeal, was found inside the fenced yard of an ATT&T building in Rosamond, Calif. The dog had her legs bound together and it is believed she was thrown over the fence and left to die by her previous owner(s). Luckily she was found and rescued.

Back in September we told you the story of Dolly, a six-month-old Pit bull who was tossed over a six-foot-high fence outside of Investigative Science and Engineering, Inc., in Ramona, Calif. Fortunately, the abusive act was captured on surveillance cameras and once the puppy was rescued, authorities urged the public to help them identified the abuser.

On November 1, 2014, drivers in Pereira, Colombia, stopped a woman from intentionally killing her dog after the woman tied her pet to the back of her car and planned to drag him to death.

There seems to be an epidemic of law enforcement officers shooting pets in our nation. News reports are filled with unjustified shootings of dogs, and police officers simply say the dog in question posed a threat to their jobs and lives.
