'Inhumane' - Huge anger after two puppies left in coal bag on busy Leitrim road
Leitrim Animal Welfare were recently handed two puppies who were found in a coal bag and are lucky to be alive
The puppies were dumped near the Tarmon Bottle Banks in Leitrim and were left inside a coal bag.
The Leitrim rescue said, "the person who did this could have easily driven to our gates and ensured these puppies were safe.
"If it was not for a kind member of the public stopping to check, these puppies could have been hit on the busy road or suffocated inside the coal bag.
"We have checked our surrender list...no call was made...no help was sought....this is inhumane....this is cruel and this is yet another case of puppies dumped after Christmas.
"If anyone recognises these puppies or has information, please contact us privately. Even the smallest detail could help. There is no excuse for this level of cruelty.
"Thank you to the kind person who stopped and saved their lives, without you, this could have ended very differently".
