Arfin, Temperatures in the United States have been freezing this winter. States have regularly been sending out alerts warning residents of extreme winter weather, and the importance of being prepared in order to keep everyone safe.
But a couple in Pennsylvania ignored these warnings. Instead, they left three dogs tied up outside their home, including one mama dog. The temperatures outside had dropped to the single-digits (Fahrenheit). That's around -15 Celsius. Authorities didn't find any proper shelter, water, or even food outside for the desperate animals. The dogs, two females and one male, had as a result become "very skinny," with their skeletons protruding out through their emaciated skin. Inside, they had squished seven puppies inside a crate — separated from their freezing mother. They needed access to their mother for her milk to feed them. Not only did the couple deny them that possibility, but they also withheld any other form of food or water. As a result, five of the puppies died.
The couple have since been arrested and charged with over 30 counts of felony animal abuse. Regardless of what happens next, they must never be allowed around animals.
