The Sheriff of Lee County, Florida, USA, took in a dog that was picked up from the street by local police. At that time, residents reported that they found a dog wandering aimlessly near a local yard. The dog's mouth was tied with red electrical tape by someone unknown. It looked very painful. The residents immediately called the police and asked the police to rescue the dog. Since the dog's mouth is entangled, it is impossible for the dog to bite, so the process of catching it is not difficult. But it is more difficult to tear off the tape on its mouth intact. Generally, veterinarians will use some oil-based lotions to deal with this kind of sticky problem. The more common one is vegetable oil to dissolve the sticky glue. Viscose is generally organic matter and is difficult to wash off with water, but it can be easily dissolved in grease. If a cat or dog accidentally enters the sticky trap, vegetable oil can also be used to rescue it.
This dog was pranked by someone and had such tape wrapped around its mouth. If no one found it, it would die of dehydration from being unable to eat within a few days. The dog has always been quiet and calm even when being rescued. It is not afraid or hostile to humans because it has been bullied by bad people. It can be seen that it has a gentle and cheerful character. While rescuing it, the local police chief was moved by the dog's pleading eyes. He decided to take in the dog and give it a home so that it would never encounter such a bad person again. But since it's following the police chief, it can't just be an ordinary pet dog. The dog has fully recovered after a week of treatment. At this time, the Sheriff gave it a job: Pet Patrol. Its daily job is to go out on patrol with the police to find and rescue pets in need. It even got its own desk in the Sheriff's Office. On the other hand, the local police are visiting and investigating, and they are bound to find the person who abused this cute dog and let him face legal punishment. Police even offered an $8,000 reward for clues, a figure that was raised to $14,500 a week later.
I don’t know who invented this method of wrapping a dog’s mouth with tape or rope. Generally, stray dogs are the ones who can be treated like this. Occasionally, some cruel owners will treat their pet dogs like this, taping their mouths together and then abandoning them. Stray dogs that can let humans grab their mouths without resisting and struggling are very kind at heart. Unexpectedly, their kind response will end up being abused. With its mouth bound by tape, the dog cannot bite and resist with its powerful teeth, cannot howl for help, and cannot eat or drink. The tape cannot be easily thrown off with the dog's paw. If no one notices a dog treated in this way, it will usually die of hunger and dehydration. It can be said that it is very pitiful to even struggle for help before dying.
This dog taken in by the police sergeant does not look like a stray dog. It should be a pet dog, so it responds to humans more docilely, rather than looking timid like a stray dog. The suspect with the biggest suspicion, and the one that people least want to raise, may be its owner. However, local residents prefer that the dogs were stolen from their homes by bad guys, abused and then thrown outside. I wonder if after this dog becomes famous, his owner will go to the police station to find him and take him home after seeing the news.
Stray animals can cause many problems in cities, but as a powerful and capable party, we should not simply use violence to fight violence, and use attacks and abuse to eliminate stray animals. Humans and animals are not simply friendly or antagonistic. Thinking about how to scientifically manage stray animals and how to control their numbers from the source is what civilized people should do.
