In the town of Tabaida, in Tenerife, Spain, five puppies were found locked in a cave in a ravine without food or water.

The deplorable state in which they were found by the Civil Guard police authorities gave an account that the canines had been in such a lamentable situation for some time; they were literally weak to the bone and their bodies, but mostly their ears were riddled with ticks.

The revealing images captured by the security forces show the quintet of dogs lying limp under the intense heat and inclement sun , characteristic of the summer on this Canary Island, which is located just south of Morocco.

The infection that had developed in their ears was a gruesome spectacle , so the officers decided to act immediately, tearing down the fence that kept them isolated, took them in their arms and transferred them to the Valle Colino Regional Shelter , a shelter in the area. , where they are being cared for and treated by specialized personnel.

“It is necessary for the citizen to denounce all kinds of animal abuse, that is not a custom, but rather that a culture is created, for being against the abuse of all kinds of animals, because they are beings that suffer and feel,” he said. the hostel spokesperson.

According to the information that has transpired, it seems that the dogs would be under the responsibility of a hunter in the area , who would have already been identified and reported to the authorities, but there is still no resolution on his case.

“The regulation for the dignified treatment of animals establishes sanctions for people who neglect or mistreat their pets, it also regulates their sale. It must be ensured that they have sufficient space, adequate food or hydration for as long as necessary, “added the spokesperson.

Unfortunately, humans continue to think that we are superior to other living beings . For this reason, many people continue to treat their pets unworthily and leave their pets at their own risk, as if they were disposable objects, as if they were a blade of straw in the wind.

It is difficult to understand that there are such careless and selfish people with their animals . But fortunately there are also people who are not like that, and they are the ones who should be celebrated and whose behaviors should be imitated. Everything is for the well-being of all the beings that populate this wonderful blue planet.
