Homophobia hits a new low : Dog Abandoned Because Owners Thought He Was Gay

The former owners of a dog in North Carolina have been criticised online after they abandoned their pet because they believed he was gay.

Fezco the pooch is four to five years old and is said to get along well with both people and other animals, no doubt making him a lovely pet for any caring family.

Unfortunately, however, Fezco ended up being abandoned in Stanly County after he humped another male dog – something which is entirely common among canines, unilad.co.uk reports Sunday.

Fezco was recently dumped at the Stanly County Animal Protective Services, a shelter in Albemarle, North Carolina, after his owner saw him humping another male dog.

According to staff at the shelter, the owner said he didn’t want a «gay» dog and left him in their care.

Adopted By Gay Couple

Steve Nichols and his partner John, who have been together for over 30 years, came to the rescue after they heard about Fezco’s story, and said they understood what it was like to experience such discrimination, www.unilad.co.uk reports.
