Many people deemed as "normal" has hurt animals.

Psychosis (from the Greek ψυχή "psyche", for mind or soul, and -οσις "-osis", for abnormal condition), with adjective psychotic, literally means abnormal condition of the mind, and is a generic psychiatric term for a mental state often described as involving a "loss of contact with reality". People suffering from psychosis are said to be psychotic.

Loss of contact with reality does not = burning your dog. The woman's state of mind is a matter for experts to decide. Psychology is NOT common sense.
To be angry to this woman is only human, and we are that. To try to objectify feelings is impossible, as long as we're humans.
I talked with a friend studying psychology in her final year for opinions. She has cleared things up for me. I am angry, but I also know now that it is also impossible to call the woman on her actions. Without proper information or knowledge, we cannot judge her. Of course all of us are angry, and we are looking for some one to blame, and the most logical choice is to blame the woman.
This is a part of the chat I had with my friend, when I asked her is the woman supposed to get off just like that. This is what my friend said.

depends
if it's proven that there is no long term underlying reason
or some deep seated personality probs
but then again
thats more about
how her case is presented to the court
rather than whats actually going on with her

So basically, the world is deuced unfair, and there is nothing we can do.
I just regret that the woman got a dog in the 1st place. Now I can only pray for Bobo, and for no dogs to end up in sick people's hands again.
