In the world there are heartless people who seem not to measure the damage they can cause to a creature when they decide to leave it aside. More and more news of animal abandonment arrives and the level of cruelty seems to intensify, but where evil exists, there is justice and love to counteract it.
This is precisely what has happened to a puppy rescued on the banks of the Marne River in France.
Skeletal, with eyes begging for help and his little body trembling from the cold, a little animal was found at the beginning of February. The couple who discovered him were devastated just by seeing him, someone ruthless not only left him there alone but also hung a chain around his neck that kept him attached to a tree on the riverbank.
The puppy was found around 5:00 pm by a couple of friends who were exercising along the Chemin Beauregard, between the railway line and the Marne River in Coolus, according to Pierre Charlet , the town’s mayor.
The couple alerted the municipality of Compertrix about the case so that the puppy could be rescued by Animal Control. For that reason it was the mayor himself who was in charge of giving the order to help the defenseless creature.
“For my part, I called the municipal services of Châlons-en-Champagne, with whom we have an agreement that authorizes them to recover stray or dangerous dogs,” specifies Pierre Charlet.
The case greatly outraged the community, after the same people who found it were in charge of sharing the news and photography with some friends. The puppy was without a chip but it is presumed that it belonged to a family that had neglected it before abandoning it.
“He was domesticated, but in very bad shape, very thin. It hadn’t been fed for some time,” said Pierre Charlet.
Not finding the whereabouts of the owners, the creature was taken to the Charlotte-Even shelter that is run by the Châlonnaise Association for the Protection of Animals (ACPA) in Fagnières. From there the little animal was seen by a veterinarian and entered a special feeding regimen due to the evident malnutrition that it presented.
That’s how distressed the furry was at the time of being found.
The municipal police opened an investigation to find the former owner of the animal and find out if that same person is responsible for the abandonment, which represents a crime.
Let’s hope the authorities find the heartless man who made the furry suffer until that state and left him alone and outdoors, for now the shelter is in charge of erasing his physical and emotional injuries.
There are many cases of abuse but that is not why you have to stop denouncing them, share this story and let the heartless know that their baseness must be punished.
