In the surveillance recording, It looked like the woman driving a white Jeep Wrangler was looking for the best place get rid of your garbage.

The woman drove a row of garbage cans in front of a car parts store in Coachella, California, where he jumped with a plastic bag. He peeked into a container, but stepped forward and threw his bag into the next container, already filled with garbage.

It was a simple, seemingly innocuous act of disposition.

And that's what the authorities say, makes it so scary.

Because they were not waste collected in this bag; instead, the bag was full of puppies; seven of them, all just a few days old, said researchers. Riverside County Animal Services Department.

"We are talking about seven puppies thrown in the garbage as they were garbage"John Welsh, spokesman for the animal service agency, said in an interview:" This is a pretty serious case with respect to animal cruelty. "

Usually cases of animal cruelty in Southern California County do not deserve a long prison sentenceHe said in an official, but since this case is so serious, it can be an exception.

This is the second case of puppies abandoned in a month, reports the Palm Springs Desert Sun, which indicated an incident in March when animal services found two pups in a dumpster at a recycling center in the same county.

But last week's case was remarkable because the authorities rarely catch someone leaving an animal. Chief Veterinary Officer Chris Mayer said he had discussed with the district attorney's office about setting up a file.

"There is no excuse for giving up puppies," said Mayer in a statement, adding that the woman could easily have taken the dogs to a shelter. "It was a shameful act."

It was also almost deadly.

The plastic bag was sealed when the woman threw it into the container. In addition, It was very hot in Coachella, a city that shares its name with the music festival in the nearby desert, with temperatures that rose 90 degrees this afternoon. Puppies were dehydrated and malnourished.

If a man, whom the police only identified as "John", That would not have happened soon after and I heard the dogs crying, They could have died, said Welsh.

"Sometimes I was in the right place at the right time," he said.

Apparently, John rummaged through the trash when he found the bag and carried it to the workshop, said in a press release Services for Animals. The veterinarians treated the puppies and the veterinary services transferred them to a local rescue group who took care of them so that they recovered their health.

"The good Samaritan played an important role in safeguarding the lives of these puppiesMayer said in the statement: "His actions were humane and heroic. "

"I was a little surprised to see how he threw them", says the man," without worry, without emotion, as if it was an old and ordinary garbage bag ".
