Puppies Dumped on Road ***** 20/20 ABC TONIGHT
I just saw a clip from 1/28/05's - 20/20 MYTHS, LIES and NASTY BEHAVIOR
and had to get back online and write to alert everyone to WATCH and TAPE
the 20/20 tonight 10PM on ABC which will show several men dumping
garbage from pick up trucks onto the side of the road... and then a man
DUMPS/THROWS/TOSSES a PLASTIC garbage bag from the bed of his
PICK UP TRUCK and jumps back into his truck while the bag left on the
side of the road starts to MOVE and out from the plastic garbage bag stumbles
one,
two,
three, four or MORE PUPPIES.
People have asked me a million times about my film, about where are
the animals are coming from, are there puppies in shelters? Don't I have to
go to a breeder to get a puppy? ...NO! Do these things really exist? Are puppies
and kittens really found in garbage cans... tossed onto the side of the road?
WE (animal rescuers) KNOW it for fact because we are on the front lines and
we go to retrieve the puppies and kittens from the neighborhood garbage dump
(when someone else calls us to help them take care of it) or dumped on the side
of the road, like the litter of kittens I helped an elderly woman with when
someone saw her feeding a colony of ferals and decided to DUMP five 6 month
old kittens into this same field but these poor kittens were NOT ferals and were
instead terrified, frightened and NOT welcome by the feral colony.
But people still don't believe that these MYTHS and NOT MYTHS they are TRUTHS
that people DO dump animals in the desert, on the side of the road/and in garbage
cans (if we find babies in garbage cans why would it be such a leap that we would
find "pets" there?)
A friend, recently asked me why she kept seeing so many dogs "roaming loose" when
she went to visit a friend by Victorville, CA (She has SEEN my film and KNOWS that
all I needed to get the footage for my film was to drive into LA. I FOUND HUNDREDS
of strays to interact with, a LOT of which we rescued.)
She was shocked to find out that the likelihood that these "roaming dogs" were
probably HOMESLESS STRAYS dumped by heartless people who toss animals like
trash into deserts and on the side of roads.
I beg everyone to either TAPE this 20/20 show and show it to their friends
who asked, who don't quite believe it when we say we have were just called to
pick up some animals that someone dumped into the trash.
These kittens were found on the side of a highway as my lead actress
(Katherine Norland) was meeting me at an adoption event to help promote the film.

..I know of what you speak....Many...many dogs are running as strays.....everybody everywhere sees the same dogs walking the roads and neighborhoods....most people either [A]: assume the dog lives there / nearby.
or [B] couldn't care less..they don't have a single clue that these dogs may be going through severe hunger or mental anguish.
------------
another HUGE contributor to the numbers of strays is ...people assuming that their dog will always stay in their unfenced yard.
or that their dog will not will not dig a second/third hole under the fence.
or that "there's no way fido can climb/jump my fence.
I collected these scenarios from actual people that lost their dogs.
out of two hundred or so lost dog stories, these reasons--[above]-- are the most prevalent causes of dogs becoming lost.
The MOST COMMON was ...nobodys home with fido during new years eve or 4th of july noise....fido panics soooo bad that he climbs a six ft chainlink fence or jumps through a window.....one had such a panic going that he chomped and chewed a hole in a hollow wood door.
