No excuse for making innocent animal suffer


How a human could starve a puppy, knowingly, and use the excuse that the animal had a heredity skin condition as her excuse is beyond any rationalization.

First of all, that skin condition is treatable so the animal isn’t so stressed from itching that it is able to eat. And any vet that would prescribe anti-stress tablets for the animal would have suggested appropriate treatment, so I tend to believe this soon-to-be mother was self-prescribing for the poor animal.

If the skin condition was truly untreatable, that same vet would have prescribed the decent suggestion of ending its misery. Ten months old; that poor dog never had a happy, carefree day where its belly wasn’t rumbling. That truly makes me sick.

And yes, I am absolutely thinking, “If this is what she does with her dog, what is she going to do with her baby?” as she believes this article will provoke. Any intelligent person reading that article thinks that.

I don’t care how old she is or how much money she earns, if she cannot afford to properly care for a pet, then give it to someone who can, or relinquish it to a shelter.

Making an innocent animal suffer because you have a million excuses isn’t the answer.
