Our four-legged pals put their lives in our hands the moment we welcome them into our homes. They rely on us to give them regular meals to satisfy their hunger and endless amounts of kisses and cuddles. These dogs see us like family, and it’s our responsibility to give them the best quality of life.
This is the reason why news about dogs, or other animals, receiving terrible treatment from their owners is always infuriating. There’s no logical explanation why humans delight in seeing these pure beings suffer. It only goes to show that our kind still has a long way to go when it comes to respecting the rights that these animals have.
Saving Carter
One of the stories about animal cruelty that recently made rounds online is that of Carter, an adorable Husky puppy. He thought he had a fur-ever home when Curtis Swan and Aaleyah Clay adopted him. Little did he know that they had no plans of taking him when they moved to a new home.
What makes Carter’s story even more heartbreaking is that they left him chained to a fence. The neck wounds he sustained would have ended his life if animal control officers did not come to his rescue. They rushed him to one of Associated Humane Societies Newark’s facilities for immediate intervention. They then turned him over to the Newark Branch of Associated Humane Societies of New Jersey for medical treatment.
After undergoing laser therapy treatments for his wound, Carter was transferred to one of the animal shelters in New Jersey. He’s still taking medication for infection and pain. The fluff ball’s doing a lot better now, thanks to the volunteers who’ve been working day in and day out to help him heal.
Justice for the Husky
In case you’re wondering if Carter’s previous owners will receive punishment for what they did to him, the answer is yes. Ivan Romero, a detective from the Roselle Police Department, managed to trace their location. Cases have already been filed against them. If the court finds them guilty, they’ll be spending the next five years of their lives in the state prison.
