US Military Dogs Left Behind In Afghanistan Face “Death Sentence”- American Humane Society
LAGOS AUGUST 31ST (NEWSRANGERS)-This is just a heartbreaking story.
According to the American Humane Society, US citizens weren’t the only ones left behind by Joe Biden.
The US military was also forced to abandon contracted working dogs according to the animal-welfare group.
The AHS says these dogs are facing a certain “death sentence” by leaving them to the mercy of the Taliban.
Robin R. Ganzert, the president and CEO of the American Humane Society had this to say:
“This senseless fate is made all the more tragic, as American Humane stands ready to not only help transport these contract K-9 soldiers to U.S. soil but also to provide for their lifetime medical care.”
Ganzert is now calling on Congress to take action to protect these brave working animals:
We call on Congress to take action to classify contract working dogs on the same level as military working dogs. Failure to do anything less, is a failure of humanity and a condemnation of us all.”American citizens and Afghan allies weren’t all the Biden administration left behind in its retreat from Afghanistan.https://t.co/pLJha7JlQG
— The Washington Times (@WashTimes) August 31, 2021 The Washington Times with more on this terrible situation:
American citizens and Afghan allies weren’t all the Biden administration
left behind in its retreat from Afghanistan.
The U.S. military abandoned its contracted working dogs, according to a
statement Monday night by a major animal-welfare group.
American Humane condemned the effective “death sentence” that the U.S.
withdrawal from Kabul in favor of the Islamist Taliban militia has spelled for
contract working dogs.
“These brave dogs do the same dangerous, lifesaving work as our military
working dogs, and deserved a far better fate than the one to which they have
been condemned,” said Robin R. Ganzert, American Humane’s president and CEO.
