Two pet dogs were left locked inside an apartment for about a week with no food or water after ICE agents detained their owner and didn’t report the animals’ presence to any authority, according to videos on social media.

The dogs reportedly watched federal agents take their owner away in Oklahoma last January, reports the Daily Beast. The agents left without notifying animal control, leaving the pets trapped for days with nothing to eat or drink.

    Animal lovers are another level of determined. (If you’ve ever seen a PETA ad, you know what I mean.) Pissing them off might be ICE’s undoing.

    If you love animals, then you should be warned that the only solution for the problems ICE creates is to abolish ICE altogether. They’re an organization that’s corrupt beyond reform.

      I find it wild that people find it easier to get angry enough to care about 2 dogs than for almost half a million human beings, but I don’t disagree. We are a mentally really messed up people.

        I’ve read the writers of John Wick introduced the dog as the plot motivator because just having his wife killed wasn’t emotionally investing enough for audiences to “justify” (or buy into) the revenge rampage. The dog did a better job at immediately establishing the villians as irredeemably monstrous.

        There’s something about the innocence of animals that sets people off big time.

        Animals have no capacity for evil, and therefore they win. Also, people have a hard time thinking about death tolls in large numbers, they kind of just become white noise. Half a million people dead is too many to thinking about all at the same time and retain your sanity. Most people choose sanity.

          I would agree if you said they lack any sort of universal morality.

          I would agree if you said they lack the tools for the sort of industrial scale applications of evil that humans do.

          I would agree if you said there is a perception of “innocence”.

          But animals absolutely have the capacity, capabilities and sometimes “desire” for “evil” as defined by people.

      please… peta would side with ice, claim the individuals were the abusers then they would kill the dogs themselves.

      peta is NOT ethical by any means… hopefully they can prove the world wrong on this, but I highly doubt it.

      If ICE goes down to Animal Rights violations because they can’t get charges on Human Right vuolations…
