A gut-wrenching story out of China.
At least 5,000 pets were found dead in cardboard shipping boxes after being left behind at a shipping facility in Henan Province for a week.
A couple of hundred other animals were saved.

Officials are blaming the mass pet deaths on a “miscommunication”.
The animals included rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, and dogs that officials say were likely bought online as pets.
If/when they find out who is responsible for this mess, what should their punishment be?
