She continued, “I understand it's not the shelter's fault because the dogs are outside city limits, but this is terrible. Someone missed the collision and then crashed their car in the middle of the night.” If you do, you will pay a price in hell.”
The most frequent reports of abandoned animals are from the Dove Creek area on either side of the airport, EQ, Knickerbocker Road, and other similar rural areas where properties tend to be larger in area and more remote. . In such sparsely populated areas, people are more likely to abandon their unwanted pets on the roadside like trash, abdicating their responsibility for these helpless creatures. Unless such perpetrators are fined and punished to the fullest extent of the law, rural San Angelo will be left to fend for itself, usually falling prey to larger predators or dying of dehydration. It will remain a dumping ground for unwanted pets.
The need for strict penalties and law enforcement for pet abandonment is critical to halting this alarming trend.
The emergency nature of the situation requires immediate response and assistance to the dogs. Community support, intervention, and nurturing opportunities are essential to ensure the well-being of these helpless creatures. If you can offer help or support, please contact San Angelo LIVE and your local government or organization.
