Can you believe this? Some people make me sick.
Only 2 from litter of 12 survived abandonment in dump By The Associated Press KALISPELL - A retired Kalispell doctor has been charged with aggravated cruelty to animals after being accused of abandoning 12 puppies at a dump site in Somers, Flathead County officials said. John L. Heine, 74, was charged with the 12 felonies Wednesday. Heine, a retired obstetrician, said he breeds dogs and the abandoned puppies were an unwanted litter. He said he didn't know dumping the puppies was illegal. "Otherwise I wouldn't have done it," he said. He also said he tried to drown the puppies because he feared they would contract parvovirus after two puppies he had shipped in from Texas died from the disease. Shelter officials said the dogs showed no sign of parvo. The puppies, less than a day old, were found on Aug. 21 in a garbage bag at a dump site. Two - a male and a female - survived. Jenn Makulec, who is contracted by the county to maintain the dump sites, first took the puppies to the animal shelter and is now bottle-feeding them every two hours. "They're really strong, they're really active," Makulec said. Makulec said the German wirehaired pointers, which she named Tucker and Rally, are the objects of much attention. "They're like public puppies. Everybody wants to see them," she said. "If all 12 had just been left in a box next to the Dumpster, they'd all have homes by now." Kirsten Holland, director of the Flathead Valley Animal Shelter, said Heine refused the shelter's request that the puppies' mother stay at the shelter to nurse the surviving pups. |

 I just don't get it! |
| Some people!!!
For example: We just got a basset into the rescue a few months ago. He was relinquished by his owner, saying he didn't have enough time for him. Copper (the basset) is 10 years old. 
And the kicker - the owner is a veterinarian!!!! |
And this, from a DOCTOR!!! Wonder if he ever suggested that to patients who had unwanted pregnancies???  |
| I cannot believe a vet would do thst!!!! People are so evil I have all rescues here and they are the loves of my life. as they say ....go figure |
| When a living, breathing, feeling being becomes nothing more than a "thing" to be discarded, I can only shake my head in sadness. |
| We had a similar situation recently in Utah. They caught the people who dumped them (in a dumpster behind a fabric store in Ogden) and really stuck it to them! No punishment is enough for it, in my opinion! |
| And I thought peaple how dumped adult dogs were bad |
