2. How can people be so heartless and cruel as to dump puppies into a garbage tote?

Thankfully another animal hero saved them from death.

4. Must be a horrible empty life to go through with no more care than that for another living thing...

I'm working on trying to gather signatures for a Save the Whales campaign to try to influence the government of Mexico to totally ban gillnets to save the vaquita. We went to make copies at Office Depot.

We asked a couple of employees at Office Depot to sign and they could not have cared less. Hard lesson for a 10 and 7 year old to see, and the guys looked like complete jerks.

5. The Save the Vaqita Porpoise endeavour is a really worthy cause.

It appears that roughly half the population cares about the environments, all other species and living creatures and their fellow man while the other 50% doesn't care about anything but themselves and their greed.. I am afraid this is the way that it has always been and always will be.

Get them out first and then film it. Some people in this world are truly truly fucking sick.

I'm being vigilant and suspicious of everything these days. Can't help it. I'm curious to know if anyone else is about this story.

9. It's possible that a human didn't put the puppies in the dumpster

If the pups were only a few days old, maybe the mother somehow got stuck in the dumpster and gave birth. Maybe the mother wouldn't have been able to get the puppies out of the dumpster, while she went to search for food and water. Usually the mother won't leave the babies for the first few days, but eventually she has to. So the guy who found them did the right thing, but there's no indication they were put in there on purpose. The pups are cute little guys and I'm glad they'll be OK.

12. It wasn't a dumpster, it was a regular streetside trashbin with flip lid. Dogs don't just fall in.

There was no momma in there, nor was she around. No, this was straight-up kittens-in-a-burlap-sack-thrown-off-a-bridge intentional.

11. See, no, I could never work for a place like he does. It'd trigger me into violence.

I can't even watch Animal Planet without heating to an incandescent rage.
