While it is true that many governments have promoted campaigns against indecent treatment of animals, that action has not been enough, as abuses continue and cases of indecency continue to occur. Dogs especially are seen daily begging for food or, as in this story, handcuffed and left to fend for themselves.
Social networks have been shocked by the news published through photographs of a puppy living on the street that was found tied up from the snout to its neck and legs, thrown into some bushes and completely unable to move.
Desolating images for those of us who still believe that a change in people’s awareness about the responsibility involved in the possession and care of any other living being is possible. Animals do not deserve any kind of abuse, they are living beings.
María Daniela Ceniceros Mingramm was the woman who came across the sad scene while walking her four dogs. She untied him, took him to the vet and today she is looking for a new home for him. Despite the high level of existing cruelty, the good ones continue to be more.
I found a puppy in a horrific condition. We already took him to the vet, but you know, if someone wants to adopt him, send me a message, or help me share, please,” María explained.
The post immediately went viral with over 50,000 reactions, hundreds of comments, and 300,000 shares. When contacting her, the woman explained that the unfortunate event occurred in Mexico City, in Atizapán de Zaragoza, in the Las Alamedas neighborhood.
“By my house, at the end of the street, there is a very large hill that reaches other neighborhoods where I always take my four dogs for a walk. These days, I was walking and when I turned around I saw the little boy tied up and I was shocked,” said María.
Given that the girl had her other four dogs, to facilitate the rescue she called her mother and a neighbor from the area joined in. Finally, the three of them managed to get him out of there to take him immediately to a nearby veterinary clinic that has been key to the healing of the innocent little animal.
“At the time there was not much I could do, I had my four dogs and it was difficult to control the situation. I had to call my mom and luckily a man from the area was also passing by. He helped me by taking my dogs, we removed the rope and the stickers from his legs and we released him. I am not aware of the time he had passed there,” she added.
The poor hairy boy had a cut on his neck whose scar showed the long time he had been tied up, apparently left there to die without the slightest kind of scruple or humanity. He is about a year old, he is shy and, although he gets along well with the other puppies, he is still wary of humans. It is not for less.
We can only thank María Daniela for acting, for doing the right thing. It will seem incredible, but many people in a similar situation turn a blind eye and go on, impassive before the suffering of an innocent person.
