Twenty-seven dogs, two cats and a few birds, which were found abandoned at an illegal breeding centre in Peringottukara, were rescued by animal rights activists on Tuesday. On information, the rescue operations were conducted by PAWS (People for Animal Welfare Services).
“The sight at the centre was heart-breaking. There were 27 dogs, two Persian cats and a few cockatiels. All of them were in cages and were left to starve, without food or water. They were just skin and bones. Many collapsed. We found carcasses of several lovebirds and pigeons in the cages,” said P. Aswathy of PAWS, who led the rescue operation.
