I got a newsletter in the mail yesterday, from the aspca, and it had a story in it about a dog named Astor, that they had to take away from his abusive owner... a neighbor reported it, the dog was barely able to move, and (there was a pic included) you could see his ribs! AND the bastard admitted to trying to starve the dog to death! he almost succeeeded!

there has to be a rope with his name on it somewhere.
