hungry, in the dark, scary sound, movement. It's little eyes and ears were barely open!! One of the ancient law codes, not Hammurabi's, made it a CAPITAL offense to kill a female dog... dogs had real financial consequence. But nowadays pets are just as valuable to some of us emotionally. I hope MI has some tough animal cruelty laws.

plenty of people would take a puppy off your hands.

until a sufficient number of animals are adopted/rescued. If that doesn't happen, they start euthanizing. There are abandoned animals in the community around the shelter. The folks in MTG's district aren't too big on sp/neutering their pets.

at least in my area there is demand for them.

throwing them off a bridge so they drowned? /s

And before anyone gets in huff, that was definitely meant as extreme sarcasm. That "old fashioned way" of getting rid any animal(s) was (and is) sick as hell.

The owner could have found a home for the puppy or could have taken it to a shelter or have called a rescue group.

Hope they throw the book at him.

The death penalty,crushed to death by garbage truck.

They found the puppy in a garbage bag on the roadside, so the bag may have come from anywhere.

Maybe somebody reported on him? I have no idea.
