Scum are everywhere.
I had farm dogs stolen and sold to laboratories.(There were many pets taken from my area one year.Even taken from front yards as the owners saw but police response was minimal .)
I had two beagles in my life. By the time I was caring for the second I was aware that beagles are the breed of choice for labs and we all know about Fauci. Fortunately both lived full lives and while one got lost for a short period and was then miraculously found there was never an issue with them.
“Scum are everywhere.”
The Chinese have a festival where they boil dogs alive. They have no empathy for anyone or anything.
