Puppy was treated as a football
:mad:

-Snip-

Heartbroken animal rescue worker Linda Mercer hugs this tiny puppy just before it had to be put to sleep after being kicked around by a group of youths.

A passer-by walking near Temple Park leisure centre, South Shields, rescued her when he saw her being thrown about.

He took the six to eight-week-old Labrador cross to St Francis Animal Rescue, in South Shields.

Vets found out she had suffered brain damage and been blinded and decided it was kindest to put her down.

1. How sad
No living creature should be treated like that. The dog did nothing to hurt those punks.

3. People who are cruel to animals
very often go on to hurt people. Big monsters grow from small monsters. Hope the kids are found and are punished.

4. Every single serial killer (US) started on animals
Lots of studies have shown that those that abuse animals, go on to abuse people.

I don't believe in violence, but had I been that passer-by, South Shields would be short a few youths...

10. Those "people"
Deserve a proper beating with an aluminum bat.

Britain should bring back the cat for such occasions, rig the grating, and dole 100 lashes. Defaulters at 8 bells.

15. I have seen
many disturbing links of death and destruction, but am not going to click this one.

I hope there is a special hell for animal abusers and child molesters. People who harm those who can't fight back are oxygen thieves.

17. I looked at the pic and that puppy just looked too
Edited on Thu Sep-16-04 07:57 PM by ikojo
precious. What is sad is that the puppy probably still ran up to those less than human brats and wagged its little tail. O8)

It saddens me that the precious puppy's last minutes on this planet were spent being kicked about. How could anyone do such a thing? I just want to cry. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Sociopaths all start out abusing animals before they go on to humans. They prey on weak, defenseless beings, just as Bush preys on weak, defenseless nations.

May that puppy's soul rest in peace and may he know that not all humans are as contemptalbe as those less than human brats in South Fields.
