You and me both, Gayle! :mad::mad::mad:
Oh. My. God.
Dear pup - for your sake, I hope justice is done. :(:(
Poor dog, I can't bring myself to read the details, but I pray that you are happy where ever you are.
Poor thing.
I finally brought myself to read the article and looked at the dog picture to see what the uproar was all about. To say the least, I'm sorry that I did, this will give me nightmares for weeks. What hurts the most is the guy is getting off with a lousy slap on the wrist. I sit here and stare at my dog and wonder how anyone in this world can be so depraved to do this to any animal but especially his own dog.
I do hope he goes to prison and that the inmates treat him like they would a child abuser, he deserves no less than that - hope this guy rots in hell.
There was a rally today in Windsor against animal abuse: http://www.windsorstar.com/Windsor+a...429/story.html
I hope someone kills the SOB. A horrible unchristian thing to say, maybe but the right thing to do so beast and man can be safe?

I couldn't even read the second story, I just don't understand why someone would hurt an innocent animal for no reason? I don't get the mental stability of these people nor will I ever. May the poor puppy, RIP :(
Lets be clear, this was not done by a teenager. I think this comment was made before we knew exactly what was done to the poor dog. This offence was committed by one very sick in the head 51 year old man. :mad:Quote:

Here are some pictures from the march in Windsor yesterday: http://www.windsorstar.com/news/Gall...441/story.html
I considered going, but I had several bags of dirty cat-laundry to do for the shelter.
From the Windsor Star (http://www.windsorstar.com/news/Wind...xzz0o7zhtav8):
"Hopefully this is the start of many little rallies, not just in Windsor but all across Ontario," said Tammy Deslauriers, the protest organizer. A Facebook group she started, "Windsor dog abuser sought," had over 6,500 members as of Saturday afternoon.
Here's the Facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gi...8375208&ref=ts
I'm not on Facebook, and I refuse to join (I already blow away way too much time online without Facebook, thank you), but those of you who are members can check it out.
I'd like to keep up on this story, to find out when the slimeball is going to court and what sentence he receives. Maybe I can go watch that.. (I could hiss loudly if he gets probation and/or a mild slap on the wrist).
Here's a politician I would vote for! (assuming I was Canadian and lived in the Windsor-Tecumseh area) -
"Windsor-Tecumseh MP Joe Comartin called on the Harper government to introduce a bill toughening animal cruelty laws. His own private member's bill, he said, will likely never make it through Parliament. The bill would set a ten-year maximum sentence for abusers and re-define animals as sentient beings."

I rather agree with what one of the marchers at Saturday's rally said: "I honestly believe an eye for an eye." I'd like to see that dirtbag sentenced to have done to him what he did to his dog!
Around 350-400 people attended.. and the organizers plan future events. There will be another rally on Wednesday morning outside the courthouse when Abeywickrema has his bail hearing.
And in Toronto Friday: An additional protest is planned for Friday at 2 p.m. outside Queen's Park.

I so agree with you...best thing that could happen to him.
Is there something that we can do in honor of this pup? Where can I send a letter to voice my feelings on this, perhaps a couple of thousand letters or postcards would make the judge pay attention a bit more.

I just e-mailed the Windsor/Essex County Humane Society, which was involved in the attempt to rescue and save the dog, asking them what you ask and also: What can I do, being over here but not all that far away, and how can I keep up with it when it's no longer on the TV or newspaper web sites?
I told them about this forum and thread, full of many others (including several Canadians) who would also like to help.
I will let you all know any replies I get.
Here is the Humane Society's web site: http://windsorhumane.org/index.php?o...id=3&Itemid=10
I think the OSPCA is also involved in this, but if so, I hope it's a different branch from the one in Newmarket!
