They let it happen again! *3 more pics added*

I'm sorry.. I fail to see how Cori is doing anything wrong.

You could not, should not let a puppy sit there and suffer. I don't care who you're enabling. If you're capable of letting a defensless puppy starve and suffer to death..... I don't even know what to say.

I agree with calling animal control on them.

And what's going to happen with the poor debilitated mother dog and the next litter of pups and the next and the next?????????????

Animal control can't do anything unless the dog is abused, running loose, or deprived of food, water, shelter or medical care for an obvious health problem.

Yet if that puppy is left to die, who's to say that she won't just let future puppies die?

[Flatcoatluver]

If she was letting the future puppies die, wouldn't animal control step in then? I am not saying she should just stop caring for the puppies; you are doing such a nice thing, molucass. What a cutie pie. But our animal control educates owners too. Wouldn't it be nice if they could educate her, and maybe that may scare her enough? She doesn't care about her dog having problems during birth or breast cancer in the future.

If the puppy had been left with her and animal control had been called right then; they could have done something. Without seeing the situation for themselves, they're powerless!

I can't honestly say what I'd have done in the same situation. It's much easier to be detached and think rationally if one hasn't actually been there.

If I'm understanding correctly, this dog has had numerous litters where many puppies HAVE died. I don't see how it's enabling of Cori to take the one surviving puppy and try to save it. The woman obviously doesn't care to get her dog spayed and cares nothing for the puppies that are stillborn.

I just don't get how that's not animal abuse.

[Sevaede]

At least if Animal Control is called they will put it on file for future reference (Whatever situation that may be).

[molucass]

To show you just how little this woman cares, I'm going to share a detail that I left out on purpose...



They didn't even give the other puppies a proper burial. They threw them away outside in the trash can.

I mean I know they were already deceased, but I would have at least buried them instead of throwing them away with the garbage.



*********
This is what I said on the other forum:

I'm sorry some of you think I should just have stood by and let this puppy be thrown outside in 20 something degree weather to starve to death or freeze to death. But I just wasn't going to do that.

I don't even live in Texas where they all live, so I don't rush to their aide every freaking time they do something stupid.

Maybe my heart is too big, but I'm NOT going to let a poor defenseless newborn puppy suffer because of someone else's stupidity.

I've tried telling them until I am blue in the face that they need to get her spayed, she doesn't have healthy milk to nurse the puppies, and half the time most of them are stillborn. If they choose to let their poor dog outside when she's in heat, there's not one damn thing I can do about it. She's not my dog, she doesn't live with me and I don't live with them. I don't even LIVE in the state they live in anymore. I am just down here visiting my parents and got word of this and wasn't going to stand by and do nothing.

If it had been left with my friends mother, the puppy would have been thrown outside like the deceased puppies whether it was alive or not by itself.

Call the HS or animal control. Tell them you have the puppy, but the mother has not received veternary care, and the pups were tossed as you said and for them to go check it out. Even tell them you can show them the puppy you saved.. Maybe they can seize her.

[JenBKR]

Don't let them get you down sweetie, you did the right thing for that puppy!
