    Worst case of abuse - You can help

    "Angie Would you please post this on Pet Board for me I am
    up to my assets in dogs...and trying to find homes
    Thanks For Your Help
    Bonnie"

    THE "WORST CASE OF ANIMAL ABUSE:"
    When Dexter, a 35-pound basset hound, was rushed to a Wyoming veterinary
    hospital on February 16th, Dr. Stephen Kerr said it was "the worst case
    of animal abuse I've ever seen" in 20 years of practice. Dexter had been
    beaten until his right side was paralyzed, he was bleeding internally and
    he had extensive brain injuries. Yet according to Dr. Kerr, "he still
    managed to wag his tail and kiss care providers." Weeks later, Dexter was
    stolen again from his owner's home. He was then tortured, mutilated, and
    set on fire before his charred body was thrown on to his owner's driveway.
    Goshen County Sheriff Don Murphy, recognizing the severity of the
    situation, had Dexter's remains transported to Wyoming State Veterinary
    Laboratory in Laramie. Lab veterinarian Todd Cornish said that, "All four
    of his legs were cut off - probably before the dog was burned." Sheriff's
    deputies later arrested Travis L. Wilson, a college classmate of Dexter's
    owner, for the crime. Mr. Wilson pled not guilty to animal cruelty charges
    as well as additional charges of interference with a police officer and
    unlawful drug possession.
    WHAT YOU CAN DO:
    Ask the prosecuting attorney to pursue stringent penalties against Mr.
    Wilson! Remind the prosecutor of the strong connection between animal
    abuse and other social violence; Ted Bundy, The Boston Strangler, Jeffrey
    Dahmer and Son of Sam all abused animals before turning their violence
    against humans. Write to: County Attorney Pat Korrell, Goshen County
    Attorney, 2125 East A St., Torrington, WY 82240 . You can also send an
    electronic letter to the County Attorney through: http://www.mediapartnersforpets.org/working/index.php# (we encourage you
    to change the text of the letter into your own words). For more
    information on the connection between animal cruelty and human violence,

    I don't know what to say? Every new article I read on animal abuse I think "This is the worst" and then I read another. It makes me sick to my stomach thinking about this. I guess we can't pretend it dosen't happen. I used to read an article in the newspaper a couple times a year on animal abuse and thought with disgust that " It does happen on occasion I guess". Since the internet I realize this is going on at a alarming rate. What has happened to us? These monsters that are doing this are someone's family,classmate, co-worker, your neighbor! Well I sent the e-mail and I hope the e-mails will help throw the book at him. Its so hard to believe that a human could go so low as to treat an inocent animal like this - I guess its not hard to believe anymore.

    Because it's a Basset this one hits home and I can hardly type I am so angry... those evil people will get what they deserve. I am giving my Basset Daisy extra kisses right now. Our dogs don't understand how lucky they are to be living with us. There are too many sick people out there.

    That makes me sick! What could make a person so angry that they would hurt a helpless little animal?! It was just a little dog and all that dogs live to do is love and serve their owners. I think this cruel human should get the death penalty! I was in tears after reading that.
