We see all kind of things like that at the Humane Society, believe me.
In the last year we have had:
A puppy with it's throat slit with a knife
A dog shot with a shotgun, and the pellets left in her legs so long she had gangrene
A kitten tied to a board with barbed wire and thrown into a ditch
A dog that had battery acid poured down her neck and back
A cat with some type of acid/chemical burns on her head and ears
A dog that had been in a dog-fighting ring with one ear ripped off, one tooth ripped out, gangrene in one front leg, and his back leg just tendon and bone, literally
And this is a fairly small town ......
I try to remember though ... for every beast that does things like this to animals, there are people who are kind, and care and help.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
