The migration tragedy at the Texas-Mexico border is not just about humans anymore. Thousands of dogs have been left abandoned to roam the streets. These dogs are exposed to extreme temperatures, starvation and even the threat of being hit by cars, shot, or hacked by machetes. Big Dog Ranch Rescue has stated that donations from the public are a lifeline for the dogs, having just returned from their most recent border mission.
‘We discovered an entire shanty town of over 70,000 migrants living in squalor at Colony Ridge outside of Houston, Texas,’ they said in a recent statement. ‘A city the size of Washington, D.C. has sprung up along with third world living conditions. Abandoned dogs are starving and freezing. Moms are trying to protect their pups and corpses of dead dogs are everywhere. Americans love dogs and we cannot let these dogs die in front of our eyes.’
