Dog Sexually Assaulted

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Couldn't face reading the details hope that B'stard gets what is coming to him

I heard on the news this morning about a dog in Chicago that was held up by its collar until it suffocated, and another that was shot by a neighbor for being allowed by its owner to walk on the neighbor's lawn. Animal cruelty- so sad.

Well, the story has crossed the river! ..

Nothing (yet, anyway) on the web sites of the Detroit Free Press or Channels 4 or 7, but here it is in the Detroit News:

I lit a candle for the doggie yesterday, too: http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/...g&cid=10779494

Windsor police have identified the dog's owner. He is "not necessarily a suspect," though.

My heart aches for that dog and now seeing the picture, its just too much to comprehend.

Ditto.
I'm haunted by the cruelty.

OMG now I read the details, I assumed it was a female dog. Now I see why they had to euthanize the poor boy he would probably never be about to urinate after that....b*sturds I wouldn't blink an eye about taking care of whomever did that.

PETITION TO CANADIAN HOUSE OF COMMONS FOR STRONGER ANIMAL CRUELTY LAWS:

I would sign but I am assuming you have to be Canadian?

I would sign but I am assuming you have to be Canadian?

Well, the page to sign it says "Eligible signatories: Windsor Residents," but you can view the signatures they've gotten so far. The bulk of them are from Windsor, many from other Ontario addresses and then other Canadian addresses.. but I've also seen one from Kansas City (doesn't say whether MO or KS, or maybe there's one in Canada?), one from Santa Cruz (with a California zip code), one from Paris (I'm guessing France, from the rest of the address).. several from London but I'm assuming the one in Ontario, not the Big Smoke.

So I guess anyone can sign it, but I don't know if the out-of-Windsor or out-of-Canada addresses will have any clout with the Parliament. Still, it might make some impression if they also get addresses from all over the world, to see how far this story has gotten out and how much outrage it has provoked.

Oh, I'm not reading any details. No way.

First a dog, next a child or a baby.

Freaks like this do not deserve "rehabilitation" - what a joke. They do not deserve life in prison. They deserve a death sentence. Nothing else is going to work to save innocent lives.

Perhaps this was done by a teenager. Hopefully like most he won't be able to keep his mouth shut and someone will report him before he does this again.

The dog's owner has been charged:
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/windsor/sto...rt-100514.html

Here are the possible punishments the abuser might receive:

"Abeywickrema [owner] faces what is known as a 'dual procedure offense' in Canada. Depending on how he is charged, if found guilty he could receive up to five years in a penitentiary or 18 months in prison and a $10,000 fine."

He's 51 years old??? And on parole for "murder". And someone gave him the dog a few months ago. Oh my God!! Put him back in jail and lets see how long he lasts in there I say. Perhaps the other inmates will see this as no better than child abuse and give him a taste of his own medicine. I could just SCREAM!!!
