Ganzert, president and CEO of American Humane, released a statement Monday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanhumane.org\/press-release\/american-humane-condemns-death-sentence-delivered-to-contract-working-dogs-left-behind-in-kabul-afghanistan\/\">condemning<\/a> the apparent decision to leave the animals behind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am devastated by reports that the American government is pulling out of Kabul and leaving behind brave U.S. military contract working dogs to be tortured and killed at the hand of our enemies,\u201d Ganzert said. :These brave dogs do the same dangerous, lifesaving work as our military working dogs, and deserved a far better fate than the one to which they have been condemned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The CEO said the organization is ready to help these animals escape their fate of death.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis senseless fate is made all the more tragic, as American Humane stands ready to not only help transport these contract K-9 soldiers to U.S. soil but also to provide for their lifetime medical care,\u201d American Humane said.<\/p>\n<p>The organization has \u201cworked hand in hand with the military for more than 100 years to rescue military animals,\u201d Ganzert continued. \u201cIn fact, our famed rescue program began on the bloody battlefields of WWI Europe, at the request of the U.S. Secretary of War.\u201d Notably, American Humane was founded back in 1877.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince that time, American Humane served as a pioneer in the development of animal therapy for returning veterans, and today brings home retired military working dogs and pairs veterans with life-saving service dogs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the country\u2019s first national humane organization and largest certifier of animal welfare in the world, it sickens us to sit idly by and watch these brave dogs who valiantly served our country be put to death or worse,\u201d Ganzert said. \u201cIn order to prevent this tragedy from occurring, these K-9\u2019s should be loaded into whatever cargo space remains and flown to safety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIrrespective of the outcome, this gross oversight of justice must be stopped from happening again, as it did in Vietnam too,\u201d the statement closed. \u201cTo that end, we call on Congress to take action to classify contract working dogs on the same level as military working dogs. Failure to do anything less, is a failure of humanity and a condemnation of us all.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"7.6080691642651\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The American government is pulling out of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Kabul?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Kabul<\/a> and leaving behind brave U.S. military contract working dogs to be tortured and killed at the hand of our enemies.
