Grrrr.....I hate animal cruelty....especially as twisted as what you describe.
One incident I read about that really saddened me was that of a 8 week old basset hound being dumped from a moving car on the highway. He survived the drop and got up, and the poor thing tried for all he was worth to run and catch up to those who cruelly dumped him.

He was hit by a car and somehow, survived. But that mental image of that poor bassett puppy running through traffic to catch up to a car, in hopes of being welcomed and loved just mashes my heart...
I'm not a very emotional guy in terms of sadness and boohooing. But hearing that story, and seeing the pics of how he looked after the trauma just brought a tear to the eye. Happily, he's made a full recovery and is living the good life with some people who love em now.
People that do stuff like that deserve the death penalty. They do not respect life....I'm all for Turkish Prison treatment for amazinhunks like that.
