| Skinned Puppy to make a belt!!! I can NOT believe what I just read in online news. An Oklahoma couple was just charged with shooting a 7 WEEK old puppy TEN TIMES with a 22 cal pistol and then skinning him to make a BELT!!! How on earth does this sort of thing happen??? They face UP TO 5 yrs in prison if convicted. |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I can't get it out of my mind. It happened in a town about 30 miles south of me and was on the news last night. I am sick and tired of hearing of animal abuse stories and how the criminal gets their hands slapped for punishment. The first link is for the D.A. of Muskogee County (Larry Moore).........PLEASE.....Everyone that reads this post, contact the D.A. by the email contact link provided at the top of his page. Let's stand up for this poor innocent dog and ask this D.A. to prosecute to the full extent of the law! I'm afraid if enough people don't rise up and say something, this couple will get off with probation....it's happened with other animal cruelty cases It would be a great thing to have this D.A.'s office inundated with emails!

| This is beyond words that someone could possibly do this to a 7 weeks old puppy! The second link actually shows the "pelt" of the skinned puppy they planned to use to make their belt. I think I am going to be sick.

| I heard this story on the news this morning. I couldn't believe such evil lives in a town just miles away from me! I tried the link to the DA but didn't see any contact info. Did I just miss it, or is everyone going to write letters to the DA? I sure want them to know my opinion about the punishment of these people!
