Skinned Puppy to make a belt!!!

[Lou]

At the risk of alienating everyone on this board I want to ask why there is a distinction between killing a dog for a belt and killing a cow for belt. Do you think that a judge and/or jury might look at it that way?

Please don't beat me up. I am just as horrified as the rest of you and hope these sub-humans get the punishment they deserve. And I couldn't agree more than I do with Jencar when she says "I am sick and tired of hearing of animal abuse stories and how the criminal gets their hands slapped for punishment." Something has to change.

Below is the response I received from the D.A.


Thank you for your interest in this matter. I too, am outraged by this
behavior. Please be assured that I will personally handle this case and
vigorously prosecute to the fullest.

The difference for me is that dogs are part of our families, as near to a child as can be. Although, I do understand if you're a vegetarian, how there may not be much of a difference.

I certainly hope this judge/jury does make a distinction.

That doesn't surprise me. At this point, I'm sure he has received numerous emails. I saw this story on an animal abuse site earlier, so the word is out!

Well, we can't expect him or his staff to compose individual e-mails to each of us, but I think letting him know that people around the country are looking at him, and the message Oklahoma intends to send regarding extreme animal abuse.

I wan't surprised either. Like you, I think they are receiving a lot of attention about this case, and can't personalize each response. Actually, I appreciate that they responded so promptly and definitively.

I responded and indicated that I from Canada and have heard of these sick people. And please prosecute these creeps to the full law. Matter-of-fact cld someone maybe skin them only do while they are alive.

I made the horrible mistake of clicking on that second link and not only reading the whole story but seeing the hide stretched out. I have a wonderful Jack Russell girl and I can't tell you how sick I felt seeing that picture! I went from shaking to nauseus to tears to burning mad. I am so tired of being disgusted by human beings!

I cant even believe someone had it in them to do something so horrible. I cant even think about it without crying.

I couldn't click on it. I'm taking people's word for it.

I am so sorry, please forgive me. I should have found a story link without the picture. I will see if admin can remove that link and replace it with another.

.

I think there is a huge difference. The cows are being bred as livestock for human consumption, be it as meat or a hide product. A dog is not! A dog is bred as a companion animal. Much different. God did give us dominion over all animals but we have made some our companions and others we use for sustenance. Just as one would not eat a dog (I HOPE!) neither should they shoot and skin one to make a belt to publicize their cruelty. After seeing some of the bizarre court cases, I take nothing for granted, but I am pretty sure a judge and jury will see a big difference as well.

That's okay -- if I had read ahead in the thread, it did say what was in the link and I could have avoided opening it. Some horrors have to be faced I guess, so we know what to fight against.

are you serious!

[Honey Bears Mom]

Oh that poor dog baby! I'm just disgusted by this story.

I hope those creeps get it coming to them in jail! And I hope the DA does prosecute to the fullest extent of the law and not settle for some plea deal. I know if I were on that jury I'd vote guilty!!

I am contacting the DA too.

RIP, Jack Russell baby
