This is a regulation that prevented dozens of dogs from being evacuated from Afghanistan and they fear that the Taliban will execute them. Thousands of criticisms have rained down on social networks, since it is considered unfair to leave these dogs.

The dogs were locked in their cages.
After the last evacuation flight of US troops, it became known that the dogs had to stay in Afghanistan. This has generated a stir among those who consider cruel abandonment.
The reason is a regulation of the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), which in Spanish are known as “Centers for Disease Control”. This regulation prevents the transfer of animals by air flights.
After loud explosions at the Kabul airport it became clear that evacuation was necessary. The US soldiers proceeded to escape, taking everything they could, except the dogs they left alone.
It had been planned to take the animals out of Afghanistan
Even with a plane for that purpose. But safety and health protocols prevented it. There was not much time to debate the matter, since the escape from the advance of the Taliban was urgent.
A waiver has been requested from the CDC. However, it is already late. The dogs were caged and at the mercy of the Taliban group. His fate is unknown, nor is his current situation in the midst of the disorder in the Afghan nation.
The truth is that the dogs were a great help to the United States troops. They served as trackers and guides. Furthermore, some were trained to detect the scent of explosives in the midst of military conflict.
It remains to say that this news has been highly commented. Many consider the animals to be part of the army. Leaving them behind is equivalent to abandoning the very soldiers and people who supported the military mission.
Many want to escape from Afghanistan
For example, Airbnb announced that it will host 20,000 Afghan refugees around the world for free.. The number of refugees is large, especially women and children. The radical approach of the Taliban causes fear among the population.
The truth is that dogs do not have many opportunities. They have been left at the mercy of the new group that has power on Afghan soil. Unfortunately, they were left as objects in a volatile and unpredictable country.

Should these dogs be rescued? It is not fair to leave them locked up and without opportunity. Maybe they can be removed later. However, in Afghanistan it is not known what is happening since the country has closed its borders and communications.
