Every scene of a mother dog nursing her babies is the most moving thing there is.
But, what could be sweet and adorable, is also the most inhuman and full of evil, when that woman in labor has to fight to feed her little ones, chained, deprived of the slightest dignity, because of humans.
Those of us who love animals know all the tenderness and fidelity they are capable of delivering. That is why we cannot understand that soulless and unscrupulous people commit barbarities against these innocent creatures. And just when we think we’ve seen it all, a new case of unfair treatment of animals makes our hearts tremble.
It is about the sad scene that a passerby found: a 2-year-old dog recently given birth, abandoned and tied to a fence with her 6 puppies.
With his head hanging from the chain and the 6 little ones feeding on his body, he couldn’t survive much longer, time was running out…
The desperate mother could be seen looking for something to eat while tied up in a field near the town of Elphin, in County Roscommon, Ireland.
The man did not hesitate to alert the police and the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ( ISPCA ) . Immediately, both the mother and her cubs were transferred to the ISPCA National Animal Center in Longford so they could be evaluated.
It takes a heart of stone to do something like that, they have no forgiveness!
Fortunately, the vets found that they had no serious health problems. But it is not known how long the puppies and the mother remained in such unfortunate circumstances, and it is something that breaks the soul.
The puppies hadn’t even opened their eyes, they were shivering from the cold.
“Leaving a young dog as young as two years old tied up without water, food or shelter definitely puts her and her puppies at risk. We urge pet owners to have their pets spayed or neutered as soon as possible to reduce the sheer number of unwanted animals. I don’t understand how anyone can think it’s okay to leave a dog tied to a fence to take care of her puppies on her own. With the recent level of rain and cold weather this week, the outcome could have been very different and I am happy that they have alerted us so we can help them,” said Hugh O’Toole, ISPCA Center Manager.
“Having a microchip is a legal requirement but the dog did not have one. Our centers are constantly at capacity and with very limited resources, it can take time to find good, responsible homes for the many animals in our care ,” she added.
Fortunately, the dog was rescued from that unworthy life with her babies
The dog and her little ones remain under the care of the shelter, their images were spread on social networks and since then a wave of anger and indignation has risen, it is truly something that cannot be understood.
The mother was given the name Emmy Lou, while her puppies were named Billy Ray, Dixie, Dolly, Dotty, June and Patsy.
Luckily, they are out of danger and will remain in the care of the ISPCA, where they will find a forever home for them.
The authorities urge that these types of cases be reported immediately, if you want you could make a donation to support the work of these heroes, here .
We invite you to raise your voice and create awareness that little animals feel and suffer like any other living being. Enough of so much undignified treatment towards little animals!
