Five emaciated dogs, infested with inflated ticks, have been discovered huddled in a cave on the Canary Islands, as evidenced by a collection of distressing pictures portraying animal cruelty.
Startling photos have surfaced showing five malnourished dogs that were abandoned and covered in ticks on the popular tourist destination of Tenerife. The images, released by an animal shelter, depict the harrowing condition of five sandy-brown coloured dogs with swollen ticks embedded within their fur and ears. Three of the dogs were discovered without sustenance or hydration in sweltering temperatures, despite having microchips. The canines were found cowering in a cave located in the San Cristobal de La Laguna area where police intervened and transported them to the Albergue Comarcal Valle Colino animal shelter for veterinary assessment.
Ticks infested the inner ears of the dogs, according to sources. The shelter spokesperson reportedly described the living conditions of the canines as unbearable and complained to the local authorities. Allegedly, a hunter owned the dogs and kept them in a cave situated in a ravine near Tabaida.
The creatures were also discovered to be extremely malnourished. The canines are presently undergoing care at the animal shelter, and medical professionals anticipate that they will be completely healthy in approximately three monthsβ time to be made available for adoption. It is not known if the hunter has been taken into custody for mistreating animals.
Disturbing pictures reveal the severity of tick-borne illness in dogs, which left them in a miserable condition. The situation outraged the locals who took to social media to condemn the unethical treatment of these innocent animals. Arantxa Flores Martin expressed her horror at the neglect and hoped that the perpetrator would face punishment for their inhumane actions. However, the good news is that the dogs were rescued and nursed back to health.
Five dogs were discovered taking refuge in a cave. Maria Jose Cerezo Herrero expressed her gratitude towards the individuals who showed their kindness and empathy by rescuing these dogs from their miserable living conditions.
