You were justifiably flamed.
I don’t think so. The animals were panicked and struggling. What if the surviving dog in its panic bu=it one of the rescuers.
And one of the dogs died a pretty horrid death when it could have been humanely dealt with well before that.
X2 on that. All lives matter. You can judge the quality of a society on how they treat the unfortunate and the helpless. They rescued a healthy but unfortunate pup. Good job!!
