The pound employee, armed with a glove, grabs the puppy by her hind leg and drags her along the floor of the car.

The puppy is carried around the pound hallways upside down, still held by her right hind leg.

It is not clear which of the two is sign of a greater brutality: the puppy hanging upside down or the suffocating babies jammed in the cart to be seen in the background, behind the hanging dog.

The camera has captured the moment of "accommodating" the adult dogs in the pound: The animals are hurled from the car on to the concrete floor of the cage, of their number, which is to fit all captured dogs regardless. The sedated dogs are thrown one on top of the other. Not infrequently, they never regain consciousness because of the catching team's routine use of sedatives in the absence of a vet, in a breach of the Veterinary-Medical Law. When, as a result of such "accommodation" techniques, the dog breaks a leg, the municipal veterinarian proceeds immediately to euthanize him, again in violation of the law (which requires treatment of the injured dog).

When the captured dog has woken up while still in the car, the municipality uses a special device to "accommodate" him in the pound. It is called a shovel and serves to push the semi-sedated dog farther into the cage, in order to free more room for the rest.

The V-shaped wooden pole is used to wedge the dog so that he doesn't move while the doctor is injecting him with the deadly substance.

Article 70, Paragraph 2 of the ZVMD is violated through the immediate "euthanasia" of puppies under 6 months of age, before the legal 14-day term is over. There is no medical examination. Òhere is no laboratory testing. The municipal vet comes up with his diagnosis as a result of observation of the dogs, while they are being unloaded from the car(by the methods described above).

The puppy suspended in the air by the municipal employee expects her "humane" killing while she's hanging upside down. She will carry with her beyond death the horror of a messed up world.
