EIGHT puppies and three adult dogs were abandoned outside the compound of the Trinidad and Tobago Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (TTSPCA) on Tuesday, with some of the puppies thrown over the gate, and one dog tied to the fence.

ANIMAL CRUELTY: A combination of screenshots from a video posted on the TTSPCA’s social media page shows some of the abandoned dogs.

Operations manager Sarah Agostini said the incident highlights a growing and persistent problem of animals being dumped at the facility.
