Abandonment of pets is on the rise before the holidays. This dog was just left on the side of the highway.
Leaving your dog, a cowardly gesture
Owning a pet like a dog or a cat is the wish of many people around the world. However, it creates a lot of responsibility on a daily basis, but also when you go on holiday. Unfortunately, the number of abandoned animals increases before the holidays.

The time to go on vacation is also the time when families leave their dog or cat
During the summer months, many families go on holiday to take a break from everyday life. It’s about time enjoy nature, beaches, mountains or forests that the world has. It is also time to take a break from work, from the daily chores around the house, as well as from the back and forth associated with the various companions of children, whether it is at school or at their
leisure activities. However, several things need to be put in place before going on holiday.
Going on vacation actually requires one good organization upstream, especially in the case of owning a pet. Some rentals do not allow pets, requiring you to find someone close by to care for them at home. It is also possible to find a specific kennel who will take care of the animals as well as their owners. Unfortunately, not all families take this seriously and get rid of their pets before going on vacation. This is a dog that was found by the police on the side of a highway
this Monday

It was in the United States and at the beginning of the month that the events took place. A dog, specifically a four-year-old dog named Roxi, was found alone and attached to a lamp post on the side of the highway around 05.30. His owner had only left him some water and some food in addition to the note placed next to the dog. This cruel word

Leaving your dog behind can have serious consequences for the animal and is an act punishable by law.
If dogs are left behind clearly increasing before they go on holiday and especially before the summer holidays, they should not be taken lightly. In fact, they can have serious consequences for animals. Abandonment throws the animal in a state of significant stress which leads to fear, anxiety and sadness. These feelings can subsequently turn into significant aggression, making the dog unsuitable for adoption. In addition, this is dangerous for the health of the animal, which can remain for several hours alone, in the sun and in certain cases, without food or water.
With the increase in these bequests, measures have been taken by the French government. Owners can be punished by law. The official government website rightly said: “Abandonment of a domestic animal or a wild animal, domesticated or kept in captivity, is punishable by
three years in prison and a fine of 45,000 euros. If abandonment led to the death of the animal, the perpetrator risks five years in prison and a fine of 75,000 euros.
