A few months ago there was a story about a dog that was taken from the owner’s back yard by a few teenagers. The dog was then chained to a tree and was stabbed to death through the night.  A few people called the police and complained about hearing a dog howling, but police didn’t find anything until the next morning...and then they found the dog dead. Even the police officer said he has not seen such a terrible cruelty before.

Those teenagers were then found and charged with a misdemeanor!  Why do we ignore such a terrible crime and do not put these criminals in jail with therapy and treatment?

Why do we take cruelty to animals so lightly? Do you feel it is a sin?  The bible says that the righteous man cares for the beasts.  Do you feel God will punish those that hurt animals?

This kind of brutal cruelty should be a BIG red flag that these animal abusers may also be a danger to society. I don’t want them loose around our kids and animals!

What do you think?
