The Agriculture Ministry has filed charges against Eilat and Beit Shemesh residents for abandoning dogs.
According to the first indictment, the accused couple, residents of Eilat, in their 40s and 50s, took their dog to a remote area from their home and left it at a gas station near the city. The dog was found by one of the workers at the station and transferred to the animal welfare organization.
According to the second indictment, a wounded dog found by a citizen was reported to the Beit Shemesh Municipality Veterinary Service. The municipal inspector, a resident of Beit Shemesh in his 30s, was too lazy to take her to a pet shelter located in Petah Tikva and abandoned her near one of the communities in the Beit Shemesh area.
