News, Woman to police: 'There's a dog taped to the fridge' (chihuahua, rescue)

[John1960]

BOULDER, Colo. — Police found an 8-month-old puppy — its feet, snout and tail bound in clear packing tape, a plastic bag and elastic hair ties — stuck to the side of a refrigerator in a Boulder home Tuesday morning, the apparent victim of a domestic dispute between its owner and his girlfriend.

I cannot even open the story link. Something has to be done about these people who abuse animals like this. It is time animals have rights! I am disgusted, it gets worse for them everyday. There is no deterrant, this is why it will never end, but only get worse.

As a Shiba Inu owner and member of the local club this story just infuriates me. I just hope this poor pup will recover mentally from this ordeal. I posted this on our group forum and a member asked about getting into our rescue to rehabilitate but who knows what will happen. Hopefully the shelter will not put the pup down and will not adopt out to a family not familiar with the breed.

I'm embarrassed to say that this is from my neighborhood

Rex is a 2 yr old Shiba Inu, not the 8 month old puppy as originally reported. I'm glad that the dog is doing ok. I hope the owner and the gf pay the price for this heinous act.

I also cannot bear to open this link. I skip most of tragic links that are posted. They just upset me to no end. It never ceases to amaze me how cruel some humans are to animals.

I didn't open the link either.

For some reason it seems really extra strange when it is the woman that abused the poor dog. I don't know why though and I don't know how somebody could be so horrible and disgusting to an animal

What the EFF is wrong with people.I swear i hate people a little more each day.

Somebody should tape her up and put hair ties around her ankles, wrists and ears and see how she feels after an hour or so. I am glad they took her Chihuahua too. She should never be allowed to have a pet again. Unfortunately, she will probably be allowed to have a child.
