Two days is nothing. Hate to tell you but a lot of animals have much worse conditions then that. But you can't decide punishments on how much you love animals and hate people who commit inhumane acts against them, you have to be reasonable. -  |

well Smooth Criminal, where it was left would have been a lot longer than 2 days only for the man walking his dog and hearing it whimpering...and I also think that anyone with an ounce of intelligence would not treat an animal that way...or would they?????it doesnt matter whether anyone is an animal lover or not, NO animal deserves to be treated in such a way, and the person committing these inhuman acts towards them need to be jailed as far as I'm concerned...thank you for your comment, its always interesting to hear others opinions.....cheers  |

For the record... I'm not condoning animal cruelty, I just don't see the severity in this as compared to some other things. - |

That is horrible. I can't see how anyone could do anything to hurt another animal or human being. I could never cause physical pain to anything or anyone. Misty  |

that is horrible. But remember, God has a way with things, and will undoubtedly make things right in the balance between that person and judgement. But it spars a memory as well, during the summer warm months, when it rains, frogs come out all over on the roads, and its so cute to see my wife swerving and driving 5 mph so she can avoid them. :P take care.  |

TO be honest with you, I find this along the lines of pre-meditated murder.. there should be some serious jail time for this.. this just gripes my tail that someone would have the audacity to do something like that to an animal.. I am as completely peeved as you are about this.  |

I agree that animal punishment laws are just not strong enough these days. For severe animal abuse cases (that usually result in death) the punishment is only $1,000 fine and about two days jail time. I understand that according to some people it's "only and animal" and we shouldn't punish them as severly as we would for taking a human life but what if someone killed your pet? I don't know about the rest of you but my animals are members of my family and to take one of their lives would severly traumatize my family. Some people treat their animals just like their children so wouldn't their suffering warrant a longer sentence for the person who did this horroble act? Not to get off subject too much, Zema, take comfort in knowing that the poor dog was found in time and there will be hundreds of others who saw that news story and will rush to the shelter to adopt the poor dog and give him a much better life. ~Take care~  |

That's pretty sick. I can't understand why some people go through the trouble of that. All you have to do is drop your animal off at an adoption center and tell them you can't take care of it and you want it to go to someone that can. That's not hard! 2 days, 2 months....it doesn't matter....they still left the dog to die. Not right at all.  |

Yes, this is completely wrong. Something should be done as punishment.Something similar but worse just happened to be in my newpaper this morning and it happened locally:::Emaciated dogs rescued

I agree with Paddy 100%. Punishments just do NOT fit the crimes at all!! It may just be a dog, but it is a creation of God's and deserves to live like any of us do. It feels and hurts too. Due to the "G" rating, I can't say what I would do to this person in here, but it wouldn't be nice. Hugs,  |

That makes me sick, I agree with Paddy, I'd do the same thing to the guy. And just yesterday, the moron I have for a neighbor was bathing a puppy by hanging him by its front legs and darting him with the water hose while the poor thing kept crying, and the saddest part is that still the puppy followed him around everywhere he went.  |

okay Skylar....could you hand me that water hose...and then tell me where that guy is..then stand back...oh actually no wait the plain water hose is much too good for him...give me a fire hose...ya that'll work.....G-rated I know it is here..but I"ll tell ya when Ir ead this...I called my hubby and told him exactly what I wanted to do to that person.....I was so angry I was crying....I never get that angry.....let's just say this person would certainly think twice about even looking at an animal the wrong way. I'm sorry....I protect animals it's my job and a job that I'm proud of......and you';ll never guess what happened just this past week....a man whos mother passed away 10 years ago had a 12 year old cat..it got loose and the Animal Care and Control (which I do not work for) (I am SPCA Animal Enforcement Officer with full Police Power) he found out they had it...they charge 4 dollar a day for a holding fee..he didn't get paid till Tues...he told them he would come and get his cat...they said okay.....OMG> I called them this morning when I read it...and they made a mistake and euthanized this man's cat by mistake...how can you make a freakin mistake like that...so needless to say we are now investigating this mix up.....they knew he would be there Tues.....however...they normally only hold animals for 4 days then they euthanize them....Animal Care and Control does NOT have a no kill policy..the department that I work with does.....I just couldn't believe my eyes when I read this..... |

i hate how cruel people are to animals. how can they hurt such innocent creatures? the dogs look for nothing but love and they are treated horribly. yet they still go back for more love even though they don't get any. I watch Animal Cops on animal planet all the time, and I'm even on the mailing list for ASPCA. once i get money, i'm going to donate it for the dogs. but, grrr.. i hope they catch the person who did it. i do wish the laws were stricter though. i see this offense equal to that of leazving a child out like that.  |

I honestly can't believe someone who do this, and how common it actually is. It just makes me sick to my stomach. I don't find any difference in doing it to a human or animal, except the animal can't defend itself.. especially a small one. And I have to say, being reasonable to whoever does this is letting them do it again. We want to end this, not make it worse. Anyway, this was a good post.. thanks for posting it.   |

sorry MODDER!! lol!! I couldnt see the double "d", and I had my glasses on also lol!!! thanks everyone for showing how much compassion you all have for animals, all our pets ask for is some tender loving care, and as you all agree, if one can no longer look after one for one reason or another, there are plenty of places that will take them in...I hope they will find this person, And another thing, the actual kennel that it was imprisoned in, shouldnt be hard to identify, it was a top of the range kennel and I'm sure someone will know who owned it...once again, thank you for your comments ...hugs to you all |
