Animal Cruelty is one of the worst things we human can do to animals. Animals who cannot speak, are mostly defenceless and also sometimes our best friends; go through unbearable pain thanks to some heartless people.
Some people just want to inflict pain on others due to their sick mind set and the best way they can do that is by hurting animals. There are many stories of people hurting or abusing animals like mice, birds, cats, dogs, hamsters and other small domestic animals just to feel that power of being god.
Though such acts are punishable in the court of law, the punishment is not harsh enough to deter people from hitting, burning, abandoning, shooting or killing their pets. But still the worst thing to do is inflict systematic pain on them in order to either satisfy some kind of pervert obsession.
Here is one such story of a dog.
Meet Rosie
An unidentified caller called the San Antonio Animal Care Services, a municipal animal shelter in Texas, informing them about a badly abused dog. The shelter’s field operations supervisor Officer Audra Houghton, told The Huffington Post that when the shelter’s cruelty investigators reached the said address, they found the animal in dreadful condition.
The animal was a 5 year old female pitbull named Rosie.
Burned with acid
She was brought into the center badly burned from Hydrochloric acid. The vets at the center determined that hydrochloric acid was thrown on the face of the dog. “She looks pretty horrific,” Houghton said. “Her entire head is burnt. There isn’t any skin untouched. Her eyes are burnt. She’s lost all of one ear that was essentially melted off.”
Finally rescued
She is being cared for by the lovely people at the animal care center. Rosie was bought in to the shelter with host of different problems thanks to the abuse she faced over the years.
First of all she was grossly underweight and the hair on her face had been burned off. The acid also affected the eyes of the dog and she has become blind due to the damage. The most heart melting discovery is that she was not given any medical care for weeks after she was injured by the acid. Officer Houghton is hoping that the blindness is temporary, and the dog will undergo an operation to possibly restore her vision.
“She’s an incredibly sweet animal,” Houghton said. “A lot of animals in pain can get upset when you’re trying to give them treatment, but she’s just a super-sweet dog and I think she knows she’s now being helped.”
Help floods in
Rosie has started showing positive signs of change. At first she was apprehensive of anyone touching her, but now, she understands that these people are here to help and she cooperates in the process.
Officer Houghton further added that”the first few days that she was here, she appeared really glum. It was pretty clear she didn’t know … what had happened to her, where she was.” But after a few days, she was happily wagging her tail and was grateful to know that she was safe now.
Rosie is far from being healthy and will need some time acclimatizing. When she gets healthy enough, she’ll be up for adoption and ready to find a forever home.
Her abuser may be charged with a felony and can face upto 2 years in the jail.
