THE SAME CULPRIT, WHO EVERY YEAR FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS ABANDONS PUPPIES AT THE CEMETERY IN SOUDA, DID IT AGAIN!!!!
FOURTH YEAR IN A ROW!
Puppies with a Merle coat.
The merle coat color lies in basic genetics, where there is a dominant and recessive trait to produce those gorgeous splotches. Dogs that have two copies of the merle gene variant, inherited from both of their parents, have an increased risk of problems with their eyes and ears, causing blindness and/or deafness.
Last year, (some of you might remember), we got a litter of pups, some blind, some deaf, one blind and deaf.
The two years before that, same Merle type. Fortunately those were healthy.
This ignoramus of a human has cost us thousands of euro.
This ignoramus of a human has left us over 30 pups to raise, to vaccinate, to feed special food, to neuter, to find homes for. THOUSANDS of euro.
And they have done it again.
We MUST find this person.
They must be charged in a court of law.
Until then we just picked up a new batch.
There are five of them, we don’t know if they are healthy or not, blind or deaf, they will visit a veterinarian in the next days.
And the tally goes up at the shelter, along with the costs.
What to say?
World welcome the newest Merle crew.
Four girls, one boy…..God help us.
