Some sick bastard out there duct taped a 4 month old puppy’s mouth, poured accelerant on it and lit it on fire in Lima, Ohio and now police are searching for the trash who did this “senseless and cruel” act.
A family found this little puppy as a stray and fell in love with it, decided to keep it as a pet. Last Thursday at about 3 am, the family at the 100 block of South Pine Street called the police after seeing a fire in their backyard. That fire was the puppy they rescued from the streets.
“The person or people responsible for torturing this puppy need to be brought to justice,” Allen County Dog Warden Julie Shellhammer said. “We are currently working with the Allen County Sheriff’s Office Detective Bureau, an arson investigator and CrimeStoppers.”
The tortured puppy died the following day from its horrific injuries.
A first-time offense is a first-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to 180 days in jail and up to a $1,000 fine.
Oh, that’s great… you tortured and killed an innocent and defenseless puppy, get a slap on the wrist then get to go back out on the streets. Maybe you can improve your technique, hell, a puppy’s not too much of a challenge, maybe a kid would be better next time.
When are these people who make the laws ever going to understand that anyone who does something like this is on the road to more serious and violent crimes, as if this wasn’t bad enough!!
What a sick SOB! I hope they catch him, and our laws in this country must change to make any animal abuse situation a felony!
What in God’s name is wrong with people these days? It is so upsetting to read that these people get small fines – lock them up – they don’t deserve to breathe the same air as you or I; they are sick bastards that need to be hung by their you know whats.
Alright…My thoughts yesterday about using a punching bag instead of a living thing have just gone out the window..If I could get these so called humans in sight and within reach…I honestly don’t know what would happen….The trash who did this needs punished!!And no dinky 180 days…blah,blah,blah….even scratches the surface of what they deserve!!!The laws need to be changed!!!Anyone that can do this is SICK!!VERY SICK!!When will people realize that these “people” are tomorrow’s serial killers…..Dam—!!The poor little guy was finally home…and then this…WTF is going on with people burning dogs??!!How is it possible to be that cruel…sick….bored…just plain stupid I guess if you can’t find anything else to do…I’m just sick…
The thing that kills me is that we’re hearing more and more about dogs being burned, or lighted on fire. That’s pretty damned scary! And, I agree with Kerry: I’m not sure if I could contain myself if I ever found the person(s) who did this to that poor little dog. It just makes me ill.
ALL I CAN SAY IS @#^&(*%$!@. THIS PERSON NEEDS TO HAVE THEIR MOUTH DUCT TAPED & DOUCED & SET ON FIRE. I FEEL SO BAD FOR THIS FAMILY. I HOPE THEY CATCH THE SICK SOB & THROW THE BOOK AT HIM.
@Kerry – thank you Kerry!
@Vicki T – I have been thinking the same thing lately, so many burned dogs. What is wrong with people that they can get any kind of a sick thrill off of torturing an innocent creature like this?
@JANET MITCHELL – I feel terrible for them too. Sadly, with crimes like this, it is far too unlikely that anyone will ever be caught but you can be sure that I will keep my eyes on this just in case…
@Admin – WHATS REALLY SAD IS THAT WHOM EVER DID THIS HAD THE GULL TO GO INTO THESE PEOPLES YARD & SET THIS DOG ON FIRE. SO NOW WE HAVE TO WATCH OUR PETS VERY CAREFULLY WHEN THEY ARE OUTSIDE.THIS IS A REAL SHAME.
