Pet Massacre In Puerto Rico

Maybe it's because I'm an animal lover.. I've always considered my pets to be my family. So this story is just sickening.


"...dozens of pets seized this week in Barceloneta on Puerto Rico's north coast were instead thrown to their deaths from a bridge."


"A local resident, Jose Manuel Rivera, used a backhoe to bury the bodies of about 50 animals Saturday in a mass grave near the bridge where they were dumped.

He discovered the animals around dawn Tuesday after hearing barking and whimpers from animals who survived the 50-foot fall. He recovered six injured dogs, who were reunited with their owners after they saw their pets on a television news broadcast.

"One had a broken spine, and about all of them had broken legs," Rivera said."


I'd be inconsolable if that happened to any of my pets. And furious, too.
