The little puppy rescued this Monday in Mayabeque after being abandoned in a closed plastic bag passed away this Wednesday, presumably due to canine distemper. However, as promised by the shelter that tried to save him, the dog said goodbye to this world surrounded by love.
"I find comfort in knowing that I did everything I could to save your life; your final hours were filled with love, and you did not end up there, packed away like trash," expressed the deeply moved activist Yenney Caballero on Facebook. "I am so sorry for the harm you suffered," she lamented.
The activist made a call to civic awareness, urging people to examine their feelings and values. She expressed her concern for the future of Cuban society, noting that there are many individuals who are empty and lack principles, and that many are acting inappropriately.
Caballero reiterated that sterilization is the most effective solution to prevent helpless puppies from ending up in the hands of irresponsible people.
In this regard, he noted that many people adopt animals out of whim or as toys for children, without considering the responsibilities that come with caring for a pet, such as vaccinating them and keeping them healthy.
Additionally, he expressed his concern for the fate of pets when they fall ill, as they are often abandoned as if their lives hold no value, much like the little puppy that inspired this post, who was thrown into the trash in a sealed plastic bag.
Finally, he called on citizens to act responsibly when it comes to pet adoption and advocated for increased efforts in sterilization campaigns and education on proper pet care.
