Trampers find starving pup tied to tree 

20.04.2004


SPCA staff are nursing back to health a puppy found dehydrated, starving and 
terrified in Tarawera Forest. 
Two people tramping through the Bay of Plenty forest found the whippet-cross 
tied to a tree. 
The couple took the dog to Kawerau police, who handed the dog to the SPCA for 
care. 
The bitch is slowly regaining health.

"True human goodness, in all its purity and freedom, can come to fore only 
when its recipient has no power. Mankind's true moral test, its fundamental test 
(which lies deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude towards those 
who are at its mercy: animals. And in this respect mankind has suffered a 
fundamental debacle, a debacle so fundamental that all others stem from it."
