How can people do this to an animal I would love to be able to abandon these people to the most remote part on earth- no food , no clothes no cell phone and see how they would like it, better yet in the middle of lion/ polar bear/ python territory,with no chance of escape.
I’m with you! It makes me sick inside that anyone could do that! How sick and cruel could you be 😢.
Just breaks my heart someone would do that. That’s why they have SHELTERS!!!!!
Absolutely heartbreaking😞
Despicable!
I hope the evil devil who did this will burn in hell!!!
