Abandoned pets swamp shelters in post-hurricane Puerto Rico
yahoo.com
They've been tossed over fences, tied to gates and even left with a $20 bill under their collar. Abandoned animals are overwhelming Puerto Rico's shelters, which were already struggling to cope with the hundreds of thousands of stray animals that were roaming the island even before Hurricane Maria approached.
Hundreds of dogs, cats and even the occasional pet pig and fighting cock have been left at shelters as people flee hardships on the U.S. territory or find they can no longer cope with animals as they try to rebuild their lives after the Category 4 storm that hit three months ago. Many animals are just left to fend for themselves in the streets.
"The situation is horrible," said Claribel Pizarro, executive assistant at the Humane Society of Puerto Rico. "They want to turn in pets every single day. ... There are a lot of animals being abandoned when we tell them our shelter is full and that there's a waiting list."
