We all know the saying: “Treat others as we want to be treated ourselves.” I think that applies to animals as well. Treat an animal well and you get that love back twice.
But so many people still seem to think they can abuse animals because they are animals and not humans.
In the disturbing image below, we see a sweet puppy with its mouth tightly bound – all because it barked too much.
This poor puppy belongs to a lady whose boyfriend got tired of hearing it bark. It was clear the dog barked to warn her owner about this nasty man. Dogs have good instincts.
The man from Oregon in the northwest of the Pacific Ocean decided to use plastic cord to shut the dog’s mouth. The tightness of the cord caused pain to the animal, as seen in the horrific photo below.
Assuming there was nothing wrong with treating an animal this way, he proudly posted a photo of his actions online.
His photo quickly went viral not in support but in anger at his actions.
Originally, the photo had the caption: “If you are tired of (***) barking!!!!!”
When people reacted to the photo, the person who posted it responded with “I laugh at you” and claimed it was a joke, as reported by Register Guard.
Unexpectedly, after facing backlash, he deleted his Facebook profile.
The police in Linn County, Oregon launched an investigation into the incident.
Currently, the status of the investigation and the well-being of the puppy are unknown. Hopefully, the puppy is safe and loved in a caring home.
This is yet another example of how you should never mistreat animals! Please share to raise awareness and encourage more people to speak out against such cruel animal abuse.
