Many animals, dogs especially, are pack animals and feel loneliness & distress if they are removed from their family (or family dump them). This must be taken seriously and prosecuted appropriately, to stop these thieves /abusers.

How devastating to have their pet taken from them. I have seen the devastating effect the loss of a pet has on people and felt it myself. I was lucky I got my dogs back.
