Dogs Left At Kabul Airport: American troops made a complete withdrawal from the soil of Afghanistan on Monday. They left Kabul airport before the pre-determined deadline of August 31. Meanwhile, reports are rife with claims that US troops have left dozens of dogs waiting to be killed before leaving Kabul airport.
The Pentagon called those reports “false” and said the US military did not release any dogs at the airport. Pentagon press secretary John Kirby tweeted that the pictures and videos going viral on social media are not of the military.
To correct erroneous reports, the US Military did not leave any dogs in cages at Hamid Karzai International Airport, including the reported military working dogs. Photos circulating online were animals under the care of the Kabul Small Animal Rescue, not dogs under our care.
