UFC Champion Ties Family Dog To Truck In Airport Parking Lot And Leaves Her For Dead

When a retired UFC fighter was tasked with finding a new home for his mother’s dog…instead of locating a safe place for her, even temporarily, he did something despicable.

The sweet lab mix named Zelda was alone in the truck bed for five whole days before being discovered. She was tethered to the parked vehicle with very little food and water.

It’s lucky airport security even found her at all.

Before abandoning the loving animal, the former UFC champion “tried” to find her a home by posting two pictures on Facebook:

When a solution didn’t immediately present itself, it seemed Shamrock completely gave up. He boarded a plane without attempting to contact anyone and washed his hands of the situation.

During Dallas Animal Services’s (DAS) investigation of the incident, they determined that the truck and Zelda arrived at the airport on March 2nd — the very same day Shamrock posted about Zelda on Facebook. His level of lazy selfishness is truly nauseating.

To make matters worse, only a few days later, Shamrock was sharing pictures on social media from a ski trip in Colorado. Apparently, the urgent business that made him cruelly abandon Zelda was a trip to Aspen.

Despite his monstrous behavior, the fighter claimed to be an “animal lover.” He also defended himself, saying that he called every no-kill shelter “within 200 miles” to see if someone would take her, but no one would (which, to many, hardly seems likely).

“No one wants a 6 1/2-, 7-year-old guard dog with a goofy hip,” he said via a phone interview.

Little does Mr. Shamrock know, but many people would love to adopt a 7-year-old furbaby – with or without a “goofy hip!”

Given the shady circumstances of his abuse of the family pet, people across the country are outraged. It was so clear that he did that bare minimum to help this dog and – when an easy solution couldn’t be found – he selfishly walked out on Zelda.

Thankfully, the sweet girl was taken in by the Texas SPCA and is doing splendidly!

She is currently being evaluated for adoption, but with her loving personality, Zelda will find a home in no time.

It’s hard to believe that he could throw this family pet away like trash; hopefully, Mr. Shamrock isn’t allowed near innocent animals ever again.
