Maybe this is why I would make a bad social worker or psychologist but in my own opinion there is no excuse for what she's done. People would be outraged if it was a child she harmed instead of a Yorkie. To some a yorkie is just an annoying yapping mutt. To us a Yorkie is much more then that. All yorkie owners know this. The way the world looks at tragedy today is unexplainable. Look at the mother who drove her car off a bridge with her children in the backseat and left them to drown and calls in her car stolen. She got off due to her "mental illness". STUPID!!! What about the woman who was married and killed all 6 of her children with her bare hands? And knowing her oldest knew what she was going to do to them and were terrified.. Again she got off of charges for "mental illness" and her ex husband forgave her for murdering her children all 6 of them. It is discusting. There are no words to describe what really is felt. Back in the good ole days you never heard of crap like this happening... I am discusted at the way people have turned out and what harm they are causing on our animals and our children. People need to open their eyes and take a stand and stop letting innocent children and pets be the blunt of someone's misery, hate, discust, their need to inflict pain and death onto someone or something else. Pets and children are innocent. Their deaths should not be thrown away as caused of death is due to the mental illness of their parents or owners. Its an excuse our society today uses to sweep it under the door mat and forget about it.

I do totally aggree with you!!! Unfortunately we live in a society where the law defends more the crime actor than the victims!!! This mental illness excuses really make me sick too!!!

Our Lord said we ust forgive but we must face judgement and I'm sure she wil get hers. I've seen a lot of action in the military and some things unbelieveable but this breaks my heart. I'll pray for both.

When I finish my law degree I am going to work 4 days a week as a solicitor and Iam going to volunteer one day a week as a solicitor fighting animal cruelty cases. I may not be able to bring back bobo or other sweet animals that has suffered in the hands of disgusting humans but I am doing to campaign to change the law in future so animal abusers are punished adequitley for their crimes and not given the pathetic sentences they are given now. The thing that always purturbs me is why would someone cause an animal to suffer for no reason. I know there are sick individuals who make alot of money out of such things as dog and cock fighting but thank god they are the minority. But so many people keep dog's in the gaarden/cage/kennel and leave them to starve and dehydrate to death. Its not like it costs alot to feed a dog and water is free. Are people really that lazy that they just can't be bothered or are they deliberatley being cruel????????????????????? We will never know why that woman killed bobo but i seriously hope that the authorities concerned that she never keeps another animal for the rest of her life. You may all think im an evil bitch but I still wish she'd killed herself instead and left bobo to have the life he deserved with an owner who looked after him

[davina]

Me again. I'd also like to say no matter how many tears we cry, how many prayers we say or how many times we express our opinion on this thread bobo is gone now. He isn't suffering anymore and he is at peace. When i used to see animal cruelty on the television or in the newspapers i used to look away as i didn't want to upset myself. But since hearing about bobo I don't look away because i want to know what's going on so I can do something about it. If we all chanelled our sadness for animal cruelty into doing something proactive then maybe we can make a small change which may help other animals. Our tears and sympathy can't make a change but if we all try to be strong we can fight these evil people and show them that society will not tolerate the things they do to animals. I used to spend alot of money on cosmetics, clothes and like alot of you cute ickle doggie coats. But now if I have any spare money i donate it to animal charity or use it for books for my degree course because i've learned through age 9i'm 29 now) that it dosn't matter what i look like on the outside because i would rather live my life and make a difference for animals than be known as a beautiful or fashionable person. I do still indulge in the odd doggy coat though x

Dont let being 40 stop you from getting a degree. I went back to college 15 years after graduating and have kids in elemetary school.. It would be good for you to go back to school.. The influence you will have on others showing that at 40 you kicked butt in school and got the degree you always wanted. Whats going to school for a few years going to hurt? Nothing... And you can do everything online too.

That is why there is grants available. You can go to school. You need to fill out a FASFA and apply it to a college your going to attend or enroll in. Check your local colleges to see if they have programs for vet techs or vet. You may just have to start at one with all your pre-requisites and then transfer to get your degrees. No big deal as long as you keep your gpa up you can transfer and still get grants to pay for your schooling. Oh and if you get the PELL grant you do not have to pay it back as long as you keep up your gpa. Good luck. Thanks for the welcome. Let me know if I can help with anything to help you get into school.

Did I read correctly that Bobo succumbed to the injury? Poor dog. The owner should "go" the same way Bobo did. (And Im sure you know what I mean by "go")

People are SICK! I need to be a SPCA Animal Cop.

My grandmother was a nurse at a mental hospital here in Alabama and she knew a patient who drowned his dog of 10 years in the sink because he thought it was trying to talk him into killing his roommate. Obviously, the guy was a serious paranoid schizophrenic, and like this woman, his family was appalled that he did that to a pet he had practically grown up with.

I feel for this dog, but if the woman really does have a serious mental illness, I feel for her too, and I don't think any of us is really qualified to condemn her, as horrific as this act was.

Because if she really is sick, one day she will be medicated and lucid, she will finally understand what she did to her dog, a creature which loved and trusted her, and she will feel the most overwhelming grief and regret anyone could ever feel for a fallen friend...

RIP Bobo. Poor thing.

[jessimarie83]

thats so horrible! omg, im literally crying.... why couldnt she just give it to a shelter or to someone that would enjoy having her? maybe someone like me that has no luck with finding one? i am overwhelming with love and i want a yorkie soooooo bad, and this woman goes and sets hers on fire!??! what is wrong with her???? and as far as "mental illness" goes, thats just a BS excuse!! she had to of known exactly what she was doing as she was wrapping him with speaker wire and placing him ontop of a phone book. too much work was involved in doing all that for her to not know that what she was doing was wrong!! and another thing, had she ever shown any other signs of mental illness? was she ever diagnosed by a credible doctor claiming she had mental illness? i think its just an aid to her rescue, like temporary insanity. i dont think that even exists. its just an excuse to take the blame off of her and diminish the consequences. its just BS!!!!! she deserves far worse than any punishment she gets! may god be with Bobo

[poosdarling]

This is very sad ....

[Blazin]

omg!!!! i have no words 4 this ...only total saddness for the poor "lil" things ... i think every 1 sums it up in the posts on how i feel... i jst can't believe theres actually people out there that can be so heartless and cruel...

[lynn219]

how can someone be so horrible?This really breaks my heart.She'll have to answer for this and she won't be able to lie to God.Even if she gets out of it here she want on her judgement day.
