I saw this on TV too. I live about 10 miles south of Philadelphia and it was local news for me too. I could barely watch it. It was AWFUL! I think that people harm animals are some of the most despicable people in our society. What reason could anyone have to harm an animal? Anyone who would do this to an animal would probably not think twice about harming a human either. These people need to be watched and the punishment for this needs to be a big one! I certainly hope and pray that Butch recovers and this sick person is caught and punished to the fullest extent of the law!!
