What in heaven is happening to pets?! Last night on the news there were 3 stories regarding sick-os torturing animals. The first story was about 3 dogs, looked like pitbulls, starved in a yard. The tv station said they couldn’t show most of the footage it was so bad. The dogs were euthanized. The owner said he had no money to feed them. When police checked his pocket, he had $1200. The second story was about a 3 yr mix-terrier. Someone took her out of her yard and THREW her through a WINDOW of a house where there was a pit bull. Police brought the man to the house, where in the basement his terrier lay. He took her to a vet and could not save her due to so many internal injuries. He says his dog was murdered. He adored her. Was someone imitating Vick and doing this out of revenge to the terrier owner or the pit bull owner. The third story was a german shepard was found stabbed to death pressed up against walls of a elementary school. A filet knife was found nearby. This just brings tears to me and sickness in my heart. I can’t think of anything to say about all this horrible torture.

thanks for providing that email. Let’s hope they put humanity above ideology and listen to BadRap and others who actually KNOW that dogs can be rescued successfully from fighters, rather than PETA, HSUS and others whose agenda is to demonize these poor victims

The fate of the dogs will be decided by the Virginia State Attorney’s Office, Eastern District. You may have read that the trial judge Hudson was going to make this decision, but I have spoken to his office and this is not correct.

The VSA can be reached at:
usavae.press@usdog.gov.

I urge all concerned readers to send a POLITE letter to this office imploring them to have the dogs evaluated for temperment and rehabilitation potential by a reputable bully breed rescue organization.

Please don’t make any negative comments on the performance of the DA’s office, sentencing Vick, whatever. Keep focused on the dogs and how they deserve a chance to live.

And if there are any rescue groups out there that could volunteer to do the evaluations, please let the DA know that you are willing to help.

I saved Sally Jenkins’ column — excellent!
Jon Stewart’s piece was SO good (hard to listen to those sports’ guys, tho) and his ending is SO perfect!
