Today we had an article by Little Whipabout a dog that was being abused.  I volunteered to call the Animal Control so that she would be spared possible retaliations from her neighbors.  People who abuse helpless animals are often known to go after 'do gooders' as well.

But roping a dog to a stake and not feeding or giving it water is not the only way to abuse a dog.  This very same day, a woman in a county north of us, is being charged with involunatary manslaughter.  Why?

She owned 3 pit bulls and bread them to be vicious killers, who killed an 82 year old Woman.  all have since been put down.  But it is not their fault.  A dog is not born Vicious.  It is a learned trait, and these learn it very well (altho there are many pit bulls that are loving family dogs as well).

It is iffy whether this woman will be convicted as it is a stretch of the law. In fact, the only clear cut law she is guilty of breaking is a leash law.  But her crimes go not only against humanity, but canine-nanity as well.  Those Dogs did not have to grow up to be killers and see thier lives ended so early, and neither did the 82 year old lady (just out walking her small dog who was also killed) need to lose her rich and prosperous life this early.  I doubt there is enough jail time for the owners of the dogs.  What she did was not only sick and depraved, it was plain evil.

The lady was burried today, and in her casket was her faithful companion, and friend. Her Dog.  indeed, when she gets to the pearly gates, St. Peter will be happy to take her dogs word for her and let them both in.  God loves those who sacrafice for others, and she died trying to protect he best friend and companion.

Rest in peace.
