Too angry to get my link right, sorry

[WowOoo]

That's just horrible. To think what that poor thing went through.

Really hope they get caught and get severely punished.

There are some sick people out there. Poor animal.

This sort of incident should be taken extremely seriously by the police.

I strongly believe that someone who could do something so sadistic is more than likely to be a danger to people as well. The link between animal cruelty and domestic violence and/or child abuse is well documented.

That poor, poor creature

Yes, I thought that too.
I so hope however did it gets caught and gets punished/committed.
Bastard/s.

If it's of any comfort there has been a huge public response to the police and SSPCA public appeal for information.

[Caitlin17]

Oh and Dogwood that is undoubtedly true.

Update - someone has been charged with it.

[PacificDogwood]

Oh, thanks for the update - I might have missed that.

I'm glad somebody has been charged for this and 'a number of other offences', but I still need to know why??

[WowOoo]

Some people are horribly cruel and evil, Pacific? I dread to think.
So glad he's been charged.
