Poor sweet baby may he Rest in Peace bless him so sad :cry:

me too ...how horrific this was to read :(
mentally ill or not - she needs to be locked up somewhere, whether it be jail or a state mental institution

Hi can folks in the uk sign i would love too xx

I signed it already ... I believe there is another thread with the link also. What a horrible thing ... I hope we can make a difference!

I wonder where God was when it happened---
 

Things like this always make me wonder if God and Devil are the same thing.

Can we all pleas put our violins away and excusing this women for her crime due to her "mental health". Ive studied psychology, and the only illness which could of made her do that without having control is schizophrenia. In which case she would be closely monitered by a mental health team. If she did have schizophrenia she shouldn't have been responsibility over a goldfish let alone a dog. If the victim of this crime had of been a child she would of got the punishment she deserved but even in this day and age crimes against animals are treated as minor offences.

Im currently studying a law degree, my reason for this is because i want to fight to change laws on animal welfare. I have suffered from ocd since the age of 10 where i am constantly plagued with intrusive thoughts about germs and contamination. But my dogs are my whole life and i would never harm a hair on their innocent little heads. Too many people use mental health as an excuse for their behavior. When i first read this article i wondered if it was witchcraft due to it being close to haloween.

This should never of happened, The spca should be given more funding and more legal powers to intervene before an incident like this happens. Lets be honest, the government spends billions of £s/$s on weapons so why cant they spend more on animal welfare. We live in a world where peoples priorities are wrong. Too many people are concerned with superficial things, when animals can teach us so much about love and hapiness yet so many people don't treat them with the respect they deserve

:bravo:iI could not have put it better myself i totally agree:goodpost:

Very sad
 

I'm deeply very sad for Bobo. Mental illness is just an excuse. This women should be punished severely. I'm very angry that this thing happens.



Those who treated badly their dogs, should be banned to have dogs in the future. That's why I do really hope that dog mills will be closed. Here in Europe starting from 2009, dog shops can't place the dogs anymore in their shop, they can only, as far as I know, sell by showing the pics. Well this is also no good coz it will not solve the problems.

I hope oneday all the dog mills will be all closed.

I hope also that in the future there will organisations which organize a visit to every dog's owners just to make sure that the owners treat their dogs well. So my idea is every dog owner should be visited every 6 month for example just to make sure that no animal cruelty happens.

Wish that this woman will never have any dog for good and that she will be treated badly in the jail so she can feel the pain of Bobo.

Can people please not have dogs if they will not love them and care for them.

Oh my goodness! That is awful.

Owner burns her yorkie on stove
 

This person want stringing up for what she put the poor thing thought.She should have neever been allowed a pet in the first place if that what she did to her other pets.
The dog was the love of her life its a load of bull if she loved the poor thing like she said she did. Then she would have not done what she did it made me sick to my stomach just thinking and reading what it said.Please please let us know if the yorkie get well enough to go to people that will love and cherish it like it should hav e been in the first place.Dogs and other animals have feelings to just like adults

I hope it makes afull recovery.

From Joanne (mum to max and cindy)

Poor Bobo didnt make it. :(

OMG

That just breaks my heart :(

I've studied psychology also, though I am not a pro and have only been taking my college courses yes a mental illness could have caused her to do the horrible thing she did. BUT. Did everyone read where Bobo was 6 YEARS OLD. That means for 6 years this woman has had this dog in her care. There is no excuse. 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.

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:I agree completely!!!!:thumbup:

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

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

I do hpoe you do this, I am 40 can't get a degree, but I try with my website to educate people on crulty to animals, Iam a breeder and try so hard to screen everyone who gets a pup from me follew up with them evern have been to many homes just to make sure, I do give an agreemenetthat at anytime they may bring the baby back to be rehomed, but this mental illness thing, I am sure I would not have soldthis person a dog period but what if this baby was given to her buy someone elses. I worry about this happeningto one of poor puppies, any sugestions? Blessings

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.

Davina: Crusade girl. We need more people like yourself...

well I will think about that, Money is a big problem right this minute but I guess that would be true for most right now, Thank you for your suggestion, but I don't read much and My spelling is well not so great lol but I would love to be a vet tech, or a vet, that would be so wonderful. Anything to do with animals my passion is there, that is for sure. I will ook into school anyway, I know doing something I really love would not even be like work, I work in furn, Not a rewarding job at all, thanks again, welcome to yt my the way I see you are new. you will meet lots of nice people here, thanks again Blessings

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.

iF THIS ANIMAL NEED A HOME i WILL OPEN MINE AND CARE FOR HIM.i WORK IN ER AND MENTAL OR PEOPLE WHO ARE BYPOLOR THINK THERE DOING THE RIGHT THING.AND THEY ARE NOT.WE NEED A DAY OF PRAYER ALL OF US NEED TO PRAY AT 12 NOON TOMORROW,MAKE THE ANGLES HELP HEAL HIM AND PLACE WITH A LOVING NEW HOME.

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.

:eek:thats so horrible! omg, im literally crying:cry8:.... :mad::mad::mad: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:tinyheart

This is very sad ....

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... :(:(:(

yorkie being set a fire
 

:mad: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.
