What should be done to someone who dumps puppies outdoors when the temperature is in the teens?
Five 2-week old puppies found next to a dumpster in a northwest Oklahoma City Walmart parking lot. They’d been out there an estimated 20 minutes and the animal rescue people said they would have died 30 minutes later if they hadn’t been found.

@nedkelly they should be banned from having any kind of pet for a long time. We had neighbors when I was a teen that were animal hoarders. We lived in a rural area but it was within city limits & it took a few years before anyone would get involved. When a police officer moved across the street from them he got tired of hearing their dogs bark & howl at night so he called the Animal Shelter and the dog catcher officer came out and collected 35 dogs that were showing signs of mange & distemper. They estimated they had 150 dogs plus cats, pigs, goats, a cow, chickens, & ducks. Those neighbors who couldn’t take care of their animals properly or clean up their property packed up and moved out of that house within a week, taking every animal with them. I finally got a good nights sleep the first time in years. They sold the house for a pittance & it had to be rehabbed (it was their own home) and bought another home in the country in a another town’s rural area about 12 miles away a 2-story farmhouse. They let their animals sleep on the first floor, put hay down on the floor & had goats etc in it
@carpediem Laws were different back then. Because of that family our city passed a law limiting households to a maximum of 4 adult dogs and 4 adult cats. I have a neighbor who moved across the street that has 4 cats and 4 dogs, lets the cats roam.
@cherokeepatti I have a neighbor who feeds feral cats. They're breeding and destroying the ecosystem here. They kill birds, crap on porches and lawn furniture, and are awful creatures. We've asked them to stop as it's illegal to do do. But they think they're some sort of animal heroes.
They're bad neighbors. Several of us are planning to eradicate the area of these feral creatures by live catching, neutering, and then sending them somewhere else.
