You post the article but don't say anything about it.
So how does this story fit in with your idea that prosecuting hate crimes is bad? Where's the actual crime here, besides a couple petty crimes like littering and disposing of a dog's body improperly? |

That is just a horrible story. I don't know why anyone would do anything so cruel.

Whoever did this is the kind of criminal who needs to be taken out and have the shit kicked out of them, *then* given a fair trial and conviction.

Maybe Chevy was opposed to something the Bush administration supports - and got Plamed x 10.

Someone liked the Godfather too much...
This is horrible, that person has something seriously wrong with him/her. By reading the article and the way she looked in the picture I saw in my paper, she is probably not a popular girl in her school. Probably some douchebag asshole that will fail at life... |

Sending the head would seem to be the work of a truly sick individual, no question about that.
I do have questions that nobody here can answer. 1-How did the dog die? 2-Did someone kill the dog just to ship the head? 3-Did it get hit by a car or some other accident, then somebody found it, knew who owned it and decided to be a dick? 4-Killed the dog for some other reason, like aggression, excess barking, crapping on their lawn, then decided to be a dick. I could go on but #1 is primary. ![]()

I don't know how they would tell without the body. If it died to a blow to the head they may have found out already.

My questions include:
why paste the whole article? -a summary and a link would suffice why no comment/opinion -yup it's sick -which bit do you want us to discuss? what is the purpose of the post? why is it in Nothingland? I would have completely ignored the post if it wasn't from someone whose posts I make a point of reading and whose opinions I respect and often agree with. So I'm wondering if somehow you accidentally deleted what you wrote about it? Or if I'm missing something really really obvious other than that this is a sick and nasty thing? (It wouldn't be the first time) Right now, though, it just seems to be a post revelling in the sickness of others.

Questions that maybe can be answered:
- Is Therapy Dog an official title or has it been invented for the article? I've never heard that term before. - She let the dog out and he wandered off. Is this likely? Are dogs generally allowed to roam the streets in the US? Pure curiousity because here in the UK responsible owners don't let their dogs out into the street (as opposed to a garden or yard I mean). It is a revolting and cruel thing for anyone to do. But I worry about the girl's reaction - she seems to be far too dependent on an animal. That seems far sadder than the death of a dog.

There are certifications for Therapy Dog (or pet) in the U.S. There are also specially trained animals that assist the disabled. Seeing Eye Dogs are the best known, but there are also Hearing Ear Dogs for the Deaf (notify owners of phone calls, doorbells, sirens and alarms and the like), as well as different types of assistive aniimals for the physically disabled, like the monkeys that do stuff for paraplegics. We have Pet Therapy at the nuthouse. The dogs are as therapeutic for the staff as for the patients. When they are in we make a point of going back to the Chart Room and getting our facelicking. Spanky is the one on the left.
The animal in question in this story may or may not have been a trained pet therapy animal ... the article may be using that terminology to evoke an emotional response from the reader, when the dog was really just a good listener in the home of a loney child.

Bostie! Bean was a Certified Therapy Dog at Children's Hospital of Phila.
Pearl attempted but failed at the Certification process. Too uppity. |

Actually, Bean and Pearl are two of the reasons that I took to Spanky so quickly. It's not that I'm anti-small dog, but I am strongly pro-large dog. Unlike Chihuahuas, Bostons don't know that they are small, so they rock.
