I WAS truly appalled at such an act of human evil, when I read the article from your newspaper, about these innocent beautiful dogs abandoned and utterly neglected.

I sincerely hope you will catch the perpetrators, for they deserve to be tried for this crime.

Thank you for giving it such publicity, as this raises the importance of these issues of animal neglect.

I live in Aberdeen, Scotland, and have had standard poodles in the past. I would be happy to consider providing a wonderful, loving foreverhome with a huge garden and all they will ever need, to one or perhaps two of the dogs.

Thank you again for raising awareness of this barbarity. Let’s hope they catch those responsible.

HELENA ANDERSON WRIGHT, Aberdeen.
