| That truly sickens me. I don't get what is wrong with some people sometimes. It's a TWO POUND DOG for crying out loud!!! And he was old to boot! My babies are getting an extra hug tonight. |

| This story has made me sick to my stomach. How anyone could do that to any animal is beyond me and they deserve to be locked up for a long time. Im going downstairs now to give Lucy a big hug, kiss and treat. |

| I think these men need to be dropped kicked like a football. I'm sorry when will this get serious enough that the government and law enforcement will do something about this. Do people not realize that if someone is going to do this to a helpless animal; what will stop them from doing this to a human being? This sickens me that people that commit these animal cruelty crimes walk away with a slap on the wrist and a fine. Oh please! I think that you should always keep your dog on a leash or harness if you go outside. Especially if you live in apartments. Even it is to take the trash out and you think nothing will happen.

| What a tragedy! I want to punish those guys but I can't think of an appropriate punishment that matches the crime except to kick them in the brain stem!! |

Generally speaking...the amount of force exerted on the Yorkie...would probably be the same amount of force if a human was hit by a LARGE semi truck. Yorkie = 2 lbs Man = 175lbs Ratio = 1.14% So... Man = 175lbs Equivalent Sized Vehicle = 15,500lbs Ratio = 1.13% And just to give you a better idea. One H2 Hummer weights "only" 8,500 pounds! This thread has me pretty upset when I think about exactly how "cruel" it really was. Last edited by DomLee; 05-02-2005 at 09:07 AM. | |

| I am very upset after reading this story and posts - Awfull things happen to dogs in any country. I walk Pip on a retractable 12' leash and always think it would be nice to let him run free but now I have changed my mind. So sad and angry for little Gizmo |

| To Trish and Pip I totally agree with you Trish. I also live in the country. Our property is double fenced. We have two heelers (Austrailian Cattle Dogs) to protect the property. However, I still walk Maggie on a retractable leash. She has never known anything else. Not only am I protecting her from ground level. It also gives me the advantage against the hawks. |

| [News] Man Kills Yorkie By Kicking It! :( It is so unbelievable that someone would do this to a little guy like Gizmo. I have to say though that although some of this doesn't add up it's not fair to judge these people. For instance, just yesterday, Frankie untied his own rope. He has a 20' rope that is tied in a knot. The rope is tied to the door then he can go in the backyard and play. Thank God my Secretary seen him but at that point he was already loose. Terrible things could have happened. He could have so easily gotten in the road. Very busy road I might add. I just thank God he wasn't hurt. Or abducted. I almost feel like have to defend myself. I don't think it's right to judge them. It's not fair. They're going through enough.
