Thrown into hell
In the middle of a sea of rubbish, starving dogs, who have suffered immeasurable pain, are waiting, scared. Bones are lying around, bodies too. Here, the dead feed the living. Welcome to hell.

Urgent seizure
One Voice investigators, the authorities and all of the collaborators present still have nightmares about this. It was supposed to be a breeder of Tibetan dogs. But they discovered a mortuary. One Voice intervened immediately. Hardly eight days after an authorities inspection, our teams were called up to put an end to this hellhole. Everyone wanted to act urgently to save not only dozens of dogs but also three donkeys.
A horror scene
The scene is indescribable. A dead horse, in an advanced state of decomposition, is partly concealed in the mud and covered by a tarpaulin. There are around a hundred puppies and adult dogs, some in plastic bags, some uncovered: in the open air, stocked in out of order freezers or even stuffed in trunks… The survivors are scattered across the ground. A car shell contains a mother and her offspring. Another is tethered in the middle of rubbish and bones – because the bodies have also been used as food… Under the house, more are chained, in near obscurity, living in their excrement. Stones are found in a puppy’s stomach. Across the site the vets note the complete absence of water and food… One Voice rescues sixty-one dogs from this sordid area, and three donkeys. Sixty-one traumatised dogs. They are all sick and the majority are shockingly thin. The coordination of the relocation and all medical treatment required taken on by the Association.
The torturer convicted!
One Voice’s lawyer, Fabienne Filpi, obtained an exemplary conviction on their behalf as civil prosecutors. The animal abuser has received a prison sentence! The survivors are now licking their wounds in host families, including Zoe, the crisis centre namesake. And also Lhassa, still traumatised to the point where she would only eat wood and stones, has found a patient and secure home where she can recover from her trauma. As for the donkeys, they were tied together for so long that it took them some time to understand that they were no longer glued to each other, and that they were free to frolic in the fields.
Support the work of Cell Zoe, to allow them to urgently intervene where needed to save lives!
