A sad story any way you look at it; but the truth is a bit more palatable than the swirling stories.
Thanks! The Kabul Small Animal Rescue has been in Kabul for over a year doing rescue work just like any rescue group anywhere. These pets may have been in their care for that entire year, strays they found, puppies/kittens due to no spay/neuter, etc. They don't seem to be leftovers from U.S. citizens but I suppose that someone could have turned their pet into the rescue when they left.

Once again, a 'debunking' that doesn't address the root issue but pretends to by 'debunking' specific details.

There seem to be dogs left behind in Afghanistan, and private groups trying to get them out.

Anyone with half a brain, who wanted to withdraw from Afghanistan, could have been quietly removing personnel, pets, and military animals for months, yet here we are. All of this is inexcusable.

I 100% agree.

I never excused ANY of the behavior of withdrawal and the atrocities being committed with the help of the Biden administration, however I have seen on multiple sites, Instagram, conservative vets claiming no military working dogs were left behind, the key being US owned military working dogs.

it's as if the subject hadn't been discussed and a thread posted, though you gotta hand it to them for the "military cats" angle. At least it's worth a chuckle.

That's interesting since dogs are considered unclean under the teachings of Islam and believers are instructed to avoid contact with them.

Biden administration claiming this isn't true because.....it costs hundreds fo thousands of $$ to train those dogs. Yet.....we left almost $90 BILLION in war equipment there. These people are beyond incompetent. And quite frankly, they should fire their PR team, too.

Without question. The helicopter story is still up, and every 10 minutes another bogus thread is being put up. The first page of the forum is for most part an anti-Biden propaganda page

I cannot for the life of me see a military dog handler leaving their dog behind. They simply wouldn’t do it. They’d stand up for a 15 hour flight and give their dog their seat before leaving them behind. I was a bit dubious about them being active military dogs because of this.

There’s still a story to be told about why 52 dogs were in kennels in a hangar at the airport. But ... it’s good to know at least that they weren’t military dogs.

They were pets. Why would a rescue in Kabul bring cages of animals to the airport and abandon them, then go back and get them? Makes no sense.

The animals were brought to the airport by their owners. It may not be what you want to believe but that doesn't make it less true.
