UPDATE – The Pentagon spokesperson had to publicly assert that the US military “did not leave dogs in cages at the airport” in the Afghan capital, as photos suggested.
MM with AFP –
Faced with one of the worst military debacles in its history following its withdrawal from Afghanistan, the United States military now faces charges of abandonment and animal abuse.
To the point that Pentagon spokesman John Kirby denied on Tuesday, August 31, that the American soldiers had abandoned some of their dogs at Kabul airport during their final departure, on the night of Monday to Tuesday.

“Contrary to inaccurate information, the US military did not leave dogs in cages at Hamid Karzai International Airport, and in particular no so-called military dogs”, assured the spokesperson.
“Dozens of animals belonging to families of evacuated Americans have been released into the streets”
On Tuesday, animal rights organization PETA made a solemn appeal to President Joe Biden to intervene to allow the repatriation of these animals. The association evoked in particular the fate of“about sixty explosives sniffer dogs sitting in cages on the tarmac at the airport”, and another sixty specialized dogs “locked in a kennel in an airport hangar, suffering in the heat, with no satisfactory access to water or food”.
And to add: “In addition, dozens of pets belonging to families of evacuated Americans … have apparently been released onto the streets and left to fend for themselves with little chance of survival.”.

But according to John Kirby, photographs posted on social networks actually show dogs placed in an Afghan animal shelter and not animals placed under the responsibility of the US military, he said on Twitter.
The last American soldiers withdrew from Afghanistan on the night of Monday to Tuesday, 20 years after the start of a war sparked by the intervention of an international coalition led by Washington to oust the Taliban from power, in the aftermath of the attacks of September 11, 2001.
