Earlier this week, police officers responding to a call about potential animal cruelty discovered three dogs abandoned at a house where a family had evacuated before Hurricane Florence hit. According to WMBF News, two dogs were discovered locked in a wire kennel and another dog was inside of a trailer on the 1200 block of Clark Street in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
No provisions, simply abandoned
The dogs found at the residence were not left with any provisions – they appeared to have been simply abandoned. The dogs in the chain link kennel were not left with food or water. The authorities were able to determine that the family who evacuated did not plan to return to their home until Sunday.
The dogs’ fate
The three dogs discovered at the evacuated residence were seized by animal control on Tuesday – as directed by the police, they are to be held for a criminal investigation.

I agree
Someone should drag the lunatics home and lock THEM up in cages without food or water! Hope they pay DEARLY for this. Many thanks and blessings to the dogs and rescuers!
Jan Barnes, I totally agree with you, what evil people to leave helpless animals. they should be put in cages and left.

I am always at a loss as to how people can do this to their pets. They abandon them like so much trash, what were they thinking, the dogs could survive without food and water? Please prosecute these morons to the full extent (which won’t be enough anyway) they need to never own pets again!
I am hopeful for criminal prosecution, and keep in mind that people used to be able to do this with no threat whatsoever of any consequences.
I want to know what happens to this family peace piece of shit son of a bitches that did this I think they should go to jail and lose everything that they have how cruel absolutely fucking cruel
Sandra harris, why not lock them up and leave them for a while. what evil people.
All the information about the storm, where to go, what to do with animals, etc. All information readily there before the storm hit, yet these scum leave their pets in a wire cage with no food or water and another in a trailer? Hope these things are arrested after this storm is over. They deserve to be made an example out of since this was all out there for everyone to see and get help with before they evacuated and the storm actually hit.
For what reason did they lock them up… They should have at least freed them !!;

They did not die.
no one is saying they did! does the point really escape you?
No, but perhaps YOU ought to since you have NO regard for life, sub-human maggot! Or, if you’re a Russian troll, go back to the rock you crawled out from, ass wipe.
I pray the wrath of God finds these people who left God’s creatures to die while TRAPPED, with the SAME treatment of abandonment in a CAGE in the middle of NOWHERE and let them die a nice long, slow, painful death. Eye for an eye, evil, sub-human maggots. God sees ALL and forgets NOTHING! Dogs are better off now, that’s for sure!
These people should NEVER be allowed to have these or any other animals! They need to rot in jail for what they did!
We have been through 2 hurricanes Matthew and Irma and we have 4 dogs a guinea pig and we live in a modular home we did not evacuate in either and Matthew 2 huge trees fell on our house but there was no way way we were leaving them behind. I just don’t get how people do this even if you are panicking you still don’t leave your animals behind.
