Sunbear Squad, Inc. began in 2002 when an 18-month-old chocolate Labrador Retriever named Sunbear, was left in a West Virginia townhome, locked in a laundry room for six weeks without any food, water or care. When he was finally found, the damage was done; Sunbear died three days later. His death caused hundreds of people to write to West Virginia lawmakers to convict Sunbear’s former caretaker and strengthen animal cruelty laws.
Today, Sunbear Squad, Inc. continues Sunbear’s legacy and asks everyone to “Watch, Listen, Call” and “Be a Better Good Samaritan for Pets.”
Anna Nirva, from Sunbear Squad, will give our readers “Weekly Watch Tips” to “prepare individuals to always call authorities when animal abuse, neglect, or distress threatens an animal.”
Here is the tip for the week of December 6th:
“Watch and listen for chained or kenneled dogs and “outside” cats during subzero weather—without adequate shelter, fresh water, and extra food, they can get frostbitten or freeze to death.”
Become a fan of Sunbear Squad and help make a change.
