Volunteers Race to Rescue Dogs Left Behind by Dakota Access Pipeline Protesters

The Dakota Access Pipeline protesters left more behind than just piles of trash when they were booted from their makeshift camp: they left several dogs and puppies to fend for themselves, abandoned with the rest of their unwanted belongings.

Furry Friends Rockin Rescue, a local animal rescue near Bismark, North Dakota, says they’re working to catch all of the abandoned animals, and so far, they’ve managed to rescue two dogs and six puppies. They believe, however, that the dogs represent only a small fraction of the pets left behind at the camp.

“It’s a mess down there, so it’s really, really hard to find these animals and get them,” Julie Schirado, a rescuer with Furry Friends, told local media.

Schirado noted that, because authorities are using heavy machinery to clear piles of garbage from the dry creek bed campsite, scared animals are probably hiding out. The rescue workers say they’re going back on weekends, when the bulldozers are silent, to search.

Many of the dogs, Furry Friends say, have health issues, from cases of mange to ingrown toenails, to signs of hypothermia and frostbite from being kept at the camp during the frigid North Dakota winter. . .

Hope the locals in North Dakota got names and addresses.

Get judgments in Small Claims Court. These folks will NEVER show up to object to the claim and will have judgments entered by default.

Sometime and somewhere it will bite them in the fanny.

Anyone still think the majority of those 'people' aren't despicable lowlifes of one form or another ?

One other char point about those "environmentalist protesters":

Since the protesters’ departure, authorities have been racing to clear the site of thousands of pounds of garbage and items left behind before the campsite fills with water, and runoff from the garbage leaks into the tribe’s water supply, and causes major environmental damage. (My emphasis.)

And, let's remember, much of that massive pile of "garbage" is human filth discharged by those wonderful, caring "environmentalists", all of which will foul the tribe's water supply unless we Trumpster pigs pay to clean it up.

Throw them in jail for animal abuse and environmental terrorism. The second one is a bone for the left.

GOOD THINKING...

Those crimes are probably suitable for a “probable cause” traffic stop.

Who knows these cretins may also have an illegal substance in their vehicle.

Seems like simple misdeeds are Federal crimes, if they occur on an Indian reservation.

Put out warrants for their arrest.
