It happens more often than people think… When a person is arrested or something else happens to them, it’s not necessarily the business of the police to check for pets, so they’re often left to starvation and/or dehydration, extreme depression, ultimately a long sad death.

Also, pet animals can make very different sounds depending on their ability to signal need of care.

Please check with SPCA and local animal welfare groups.

I would jail them for that !
