Unbelievable: U.S. Military Left Service Dogs Behind in Afghanistan

After the last U.S. flight departed from Afghanistan with the remaining service members, 

military service contract dogs were allegedly left behind, prompting outrage from 

American Humane, an animal rights group.

"I am devastated by reports that the American government is pulling out of Kabul 

and leaving behind brave U.S. military contract working dogs to be tortured and

 killed at the hand of our enemies," American Humane CEO Robin Ganzert said in 

a statement. "These brave dogs do the same dangerous, lifesaving work as our 

military working dogs, and deserved a far better fate than the one to which they

 have been condemned."

"It sickens us to sit idly by and watch these brave dogs who valiantly served 

our country be put to death or worse," the statement continued. "In order to 

prevent this tragedy from occurring, these K-9’s should be loaded into whatever 

cargo space remains and flown to safety."

The group called on Congress to "classify contract working dogs on the same level 

as military working dogs" and warned that a failure to do so would be a "failure of 

humanity and a condemnation of us all."

American Humane also expressed their willingness aid in the transportation and lifetime

 medical care of the dogs.
