It is extremely SICK and beyond my comprehension to what kind of piece of tar can do such a thing. That's been said, I have read once in one of the journals of law, that often times animal abuse is difficult to pursue. Extreme case as this one would draw more of attention from media and public, however, abuse that goes on in less severe degree but on daily basis are difficult to be brought up to be prosecuted. And it said that financial factor comes into play. It's been a long while since I read that particular article, and I am not sure if there are attorneys who concentrate on animal cruelty. Though something more solid must be done for the issue.
