studies show that those who abuse animals are considerably more likely than the general population to abuse people ....
Today I've been working with some people on the most recent case out of Quebec:
Quote:
Translation: (Cowansville, Quebec) "We have just recovered the body of a male Pit Bull, not neutered, ears cut to a point - black and brown brindle / white. He was attached to a concrete block under the bridge by the churches on Abercorn Street.
The dog had his skull smashed with sledgehammers and there were at least two visible bullet holes to his head.
If anyone has information about this particular dog or dog fighting operations in the region of the Eastern Townships of Quebec, please contact the SPA Townships at

I find it very hard to believe that anyone who could do such a thing could ever be anywhere near a responsible human being and doesn't deserve every ton of weight the law can bring down on their heads.
Problem is most animal cruelty laws right now are pretty weak, with fairly light sentencing ... animals are still seen as property, not so much as living things. I'm not going to argue (insensibly) that an animal's life is worth more than a child's, but rather that a life is a life... and cruelty and abuse needs to be dealt with in ALL cases in the strongest possible terms
