The overabundance of this kind of information, together with careless sharing and interaction, runs the risk of normalizing and trivializing horrible crimes against animals, making it more difficult to distinguish between morally right and wrong. However, not many people know that alcohol has devastating effects on dogs’ health.

Alcohol may have a detrimental effect on a dog’s health by altering their neurological system. It leads to drowsiness and impaired coordination. Even a small intake can induce life-threatening conditions like metabolic acidosis, dropping blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia), and gastrointestinal distress. Notably, dogs are more susceptible to these effects than people are, and they can have serious consequences such as breathing troubles, slowed heart rate, seizures, and stomach troubles.
Netizens condemned the act and bashed the culprits
