The Department of Agriculture (DoA) is appealing to members of the public for information concerning a dog’s carcass which was found dumped on a dyke road off Barkers Park in West Bay recently (February 7).
The adult brown and white male dog was discovered by a member of the public and the matter reported to Animal Welfare and Animal Control Officers at DoA, who responded to the call.
A representative of the DoA’s Animal Welfare and Control Unit stated, "We understand that people's circumstances can change which may mean they can no longer care for their pet or are struggling to pay for veterinary care, but there is never an excuse to dump an animal like this. Help is available and persons are urged to reach out to the Cayman Islands Humane Society, or the Department of Agriculture for assistance”.
Members of the public who have information on the animal can contact DoA’s Animal Welfare Officers in strictest confidence at 947-3090 or via email at reportanimalcrulety@gov.ky
