While its heartbreaking to see pets in animal shelters and you wish you could save them all, unfortunately you can't but one Texas man tried it but before you call this guy a "hero" for what he did, consider for a moment that whatever this guy's likely motive was you can be sure it had nothing to do with wanting to "help" the animals.

The Incident Happened In Abilene, TX At The Abilene Animal Services Building

According to Abilene Police, cops were called out just before 7 a.m. to the Animal Services building located at 925 S. 25th street for the report of a break-in. Officers arrived to find that someone had climbed the fence that surrounds the building, entered into the building through the roof, and opened many cages to the canine side of the building, freeing many of the over 150 canines in the shelter.

Unfortunately, One Of The Dogs Was Found Dead.

Officers found one of the canines deceased and several other canines injured due to what is believed to be fighting amongst the animals. Several other canines escaped the property through an outside gate, requiring Animal Shelter crews to attempt to locate them outside of the property grounds.
