45 pet owners whose dogs and cats were seized from housing projects and then hurled off a 50-foot bridge in Puerto Rico have filed a $22.5 million lawsuit. The suit is against Puerto Rico's public housing director, the municipality of Barceloneta, the mayor, Animal Control Solutions, and others that were allegedly involved in the killings. Each of the pet owners are seeking $500,00 for the loss of their pet. The lawsuit states that the pet owners had to watch their pets be taken from them, injected with "unknown chemicals," and tossed into vehicles. The suit also said, "The family pets that survived the initial brutality were thrown from a bridge." On Sunday, hundreds of people participated in a protest march over the killings. Many participants held signs with slogans that said "stop animal abuse" and "justice for the pets of Barceloneta." The investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made.

How absolutely unbelievable and cruel! There was no reason for such brutality! If the people weren't allowed to have pets in this housing project, then they should have been allowed the opportunity to rehome the pets or find other solutions! Something, anything, other than this! I don't understand this u=kind of thing!
