Owner sets dog on fire, no one stops him...

Wow, what a sicko. He sounds more then a little messed up. I hope he gets as long as he can in jail, with LOTS of counseling. Imagine letting someone like that free.

RIP pup.

That is just terrible!

It's yet even sadder because the whole horrible thing may have been prevented if people didn't have such a fear of 'getting involved' with things, or 'poking their nose in someone else's business'. If they had called the police the dog may have been saved and rehomed with a truley caring family right now instead of dying a torturous death!

I can't tell you how many times I've called the police for various things over the years (nothing on this par though) and everyone I know gives me so much flack about it, saying things like 'you shouldn't get involved' and telling me I'm being 'a busybody'.

When will people wake up and realize that the police can't be everywhere at once and with cell phones so readily available not to mention pay phones, what will it hurt to just call the police? Let alone to think of what would happen if you DON'T call the police.

That was one of the worst stories I ever read about. Guy will probably get away with a slap on the wrist.

i have to live with myself and i have to sleep at night. if i don't stop animal abuse or child abuse who will? i bought my first cellphone so i could call the fire dept or police when i saw a dog in a closed car. they can call me a busybody and a kvetch and they can kiss off.
as to that waste of dna in human form, may he rot
