Unfortunately, charity workers were allegedly unable to save other dogs who had already been used as weapons.
On a listing next to the rescued puppies, Pet ResQ Inc wrote:
Cleo and Cairo and Egypt were rescued in Egypt, these three puppies were going to be burned by the Muslim Brothers in Tahrir today in the clashes between the them and the Egyptian army…. Ten cruel bearded men gathered more than 20 puppies and start pouring gasoline on them and throw them at the army. These flying fire balls were puppies that used as weapon. We only could save these three poor babies . All are 12 weeks old. Weighs a whopping 8 lbs and loving life in the USA. Great food warm bed and loving kisses.
Reports have recently emerged of animals being used by the Muslim Brotherhood in their protests as “puppy bombs.”
The animal charity Peta reacted furiously to the reports, sating “no one with any empathy or understanding of pain would set fire to a dog and launch him or her at an enemy.
“This merciless and callous action must deeply concern us all,” the animal welfare group said to The Huffington Post UK.
“Anyone capable of such extreme violence is signalling a disturbed mind and should be considered a threat to humanity. Animals are not tools of war and are not ammunition shells.
“Animals claim no nation and pose no threat to either side of a conflict. For animals, there is no Geneva Convention and no peace treaty—just our mercy.”
Robyn Urman, who works with Pet ResQ Inc., was reportedly contacted by Mervat Said, an animal rescue volunteer in Egypt, and flew the puppies to New Jersey to find homes.
