Pets Thrown Off Bridge In Puerto Rico

In San Juan, Puerto Rico, Animal Control Workers seized and collected dozens of dogs and cats from housing projects and killed them by throwing them from a bridge. The animals were suppose to have been taken to a shelter.

The city hired Animal Control Solution to raid three housing projects after they warned the residents about the no-pet policy. People saw the animal control workers inject the animals with something that they said was a sedative before they took the animals away. The animals were supposed to be taken to a shelter but instead they were thrown 50 feet from a bridge in a neighboring town before dawn on Tuesday. Some of the animals were already dead buy the rest were alive when they were thrown. Some of the animals were able to survive and climbed to the highway badly injured. About 50 animals stayed there dead.

The mayor of the city says that he would cancel the city’s contract with Animal Control Solution and city lawyers are considering a lawsuit.
