The amount of animals being abandoned because they are no longer considered ‘easy’ to look after is truly disturbing. Many pets are callously discarded, as if they are disposable creatures.
Despite the efforts of animal organizations to assist these animals, they are unable to reach all of them due to the overwhelming number of heartless pet owners.
In Pennsylvania, a dog endured a horrific ordeal when he was callously discarded in the trash like an old piece of garbage, by his own owner.
‘Animals should be treated with as much respect as humans’
The 9-month-old dog was found three days later by a waste collector named Nathan Binnie. He was deeply disturbed by what he encountered.
“You could see every bone, he was shaking and trembling,” Nathan recounted to WTAE.
“Animals should be treated with the same respect as humans. They breathe and live just like us.”
While waiting for an organization to collect the dog, Nathan provided whatever he had with him to help the suffering animal.
Workers from the Humane Society found that the dog had a microchip, enabling them to locate the owner.
