Meanwhile, dogs are chained without food and water, some homeless are conducting surgeries on the dogs, they're being injected with fentanyl, kept in small hot covered cages in the hot California sun. They don't have water and they are starving to de*th. Animal advocates describe ongoing severe neglect and abuse in Los Angeles, California, that the initiative has not resolved. Dogs tied to fences or structures in direct sun without shade, water, or food, leading to dehydration and starvation. Animals with open wounds, rotting limbs, severe eye injuries, and leg damage left untreated; one reported case involved a man on drugs attempting to dissect a dog’s injured leg with tweezers. Illegal breeding operations producing puppies sold on the street, sometimes traded directly for drugs. Dogs confined in small cages or multiple animals kept by single owners in unsanitary encampment conditions. Physical abuse including beatings; rescuers reported at least one case of a dog’s eyes and private areas glued shut. These details come from on-the-ground volunteers. Advocates like Joey Tuccio of Starts With One Today said they regularly receive calls about dogs being sold for drugs or left dying on the streets. #ChristinaAguayoNews See less
