Wanted: Whoever left two puppies to die

BY DIANE MCCARTNEY

The Wichita Eagle


Rewards are being offered in two animal cruelty cases -- separate cases in which puppies were left to die in a north Wichita recycling bin and in a downtown apartment building.

In the first case, a black mixed-breed puppy was found Aug. 1 in a recycling bin at Earhart Environmental Magnet Elementary School, 4401 Arkansas.

The puppy, 10 to 12 weeks old, had cuts, chemical burns and a broken leg. Its front legs had been wired together and wrapped around its head and neck, with one paw inserted in its mouth, limiting breathing, the city said in a news release.

That is disgusting...........I think people who are cruel to animals should be hung up by their toes.

There is a special place in hell for people that would do that.

WTF???:mad:

I can't even describe how angry it makes me that someone would do that to an animal. I hope it comes back on them and they get their just reward.

That's so sad. :( I can't believe there are people in the world who would do this.

This makes me so mad. I couldn't read the rest of the story after seeing the pic.

I could never understand what would make someone do something so cruel. If he didn't want them then he should have given them away.

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :

The sad thing is that these types of cases are not that uncommon. People are just stupid sometimes. It makes me sad.

That is so terrible :(

There were also local reports in north texas about another animal cruelty case.

The 2 dogs both had their front/hind legs bound together and their mouths were ductaped closed. This prevented the dogs from panting to keep cool in the sun. A couple of passerbys found them and called police. The animal shelter folks said if they were not found, the dogs would not have made it through the night. :(

Ok, we need a nice story to counter act this one. I'll try to keep it brief...

As I was driving home from work the other day, there was a huge freeway tie up and on the traffic reports they were saying it was due to a car/animal accident. The next day at work, a co-worker of mine told me the whole story (It was all cleared by the time I got to that point).

She was driving home during rush hour and saw a dog running around on the freeway, darting in and out of cars. Cars were all slowing down, trying to avoid the poor lil gal. She pulled over and was trying to get the dog, a greyhound, to come to her. Several others also pulled over, including a couple guys on Harleys, an off duty police officer and another woman, who happened to have a can of Alpo in her car. One of the Harley guys had a can opener so they tried to lure the dog out of traffic with the dog food. It didn't work though. The dog kept running in and out of traffic. Eventually, it ran under a semi and was hit, injuring one of it's legs. They managed to stop traffic across all 3 lanes while this dog continued to run around on 3 legs. They finally got it to calm down and it laid down with it's head in my co-worker's lap. The bad part was, they were in the center lane of the freeway. Finally, a city officer showed up about the same time the owner of the dog showed up. They were able to get the dog to safety and the police officer escorted the owner to an emergency vet clinic.

So, there are a whole lot of good people out there, who do love "man's best friend" and will do anything to try to help :)

That is horrible. I hope the people who did that to the puppies rot in hell. Now I'm sitting here at work and want to cry. I'm going to hug Barney a little tighter when I get home.

My sister's dog was brought to the St. Louis Humane Society as an abused stray...he had broken ribs and still has several BBs lodged in him from being shot at close range with a BB gun. She adopted him about five years ago and he is doing well, although he does have some serious baggage and issues with strangers.

:mad: :mad: :mad:
I hate it when animals aren't taken care of properly!!

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

This pisses me off so much. What kind of coward tortures an innocent animal?!?!? If there is a Hell these people are headed there...

That is horrible! bastards! :mad:

I see they have a monetary reward. I would like to add something...giving the reward collector the opportunity to beat the shit outta the bastard who did this!

Here's a sad story about a kitten.

Kitten shot with arrow

The 11/2-pound stray underwent surgery. Tarpon Springs police are investigating.

TARPON SPRINGS - The kitten wobbled among a group of strays as Kathy Powers laid out breakfast Thursday morning.

The black-and-white cat stood out, tiny, 11/2 pounds, a little lost.

Powers, 44, co-owner of a sign-manufacturing business, moved closer.

A footlong arrow pierced the kitten's midsection, so close to the heart that the shaft moved with each beat.

When Powers tried to scoop it up, the 9-week-old kitten ran. It tried to slip through a fence, but the ends of the arrow held it back.

"For God's sake, it's just a little kitten," Powers said. "How can anyone justify doing that?"

The kitten, since nicknamed Archer, underwent surgery to remove the arrow Thursday afternoon. Doctors found the arrow had fractured a rib, punctured a lung and sliced through the liver, said Rick Chaboudy, director of the Humane Society of Pinellas.

"Still, this kitten has a strong will to live," Chaboudy said.

I forget to update yall on Magnum, the puppy. He died from his wounds about a week ago. :( So far the award is up to $20,000.

That poor kitty! :( Aww, look at her. People that do these things to animals are tomorrow's criminals.

I hate people who hurt animals. I can't say that I hate anyone...but animal abusers should go to the 7th level of hell and be tortured endlessly for all eternity.

Update! There has been an arrest!

Witnesses: To him, kitten just a tiny target

Accused of shooting a kitten with a crossbow, he hands a detective a cell phone, saying, "Talk to my attorney."

TARPON SPRINGS - A day after a stray kitten was found impaled with an arrow, detectives received a half-dozen tips Friday morning, all zeroing in on one man: Stephen H. Cockerill, 19, of Palm Harbor.

As a group of friends watched, police believe, Cockerill grabbed a crossbow from his truck and told them he was going to shoot a cat.

He fired once, skewering a 11/2-pound kitten through its midsection. The kitten ran away before the group could catch it.

Cockerill grabbed a second arrow, police said. He fired again at another stray cat, but missed.

"Knock it off!" one of the friends yelled, according to police.

At least two of the witnesses came forward Friday and gave detectives their account, said Tarpon Springs police Sgt. Jeff Young.

They told investigators that on Wednesday afternoon they were walking on Wesley Avenue, where Cockerill and friends work on trucks, when they noticed a group of strays. Cockerill then retrieved his crossbow.

Friday afternoon, Detective Scott Brockew went looking for Cockerill and saw him in a car along the way to Wesley Avenue. Brockew pulled the vehicle over.

When Brockew told Cockerill he was being arrested on a charge of animal cruelty, Cockerill handed the detective a cell phone, saying, "Talk to my attorney," police said.

Cockerill, who has no criminal record in Florida, was being held in the Pinellas County Jail on Friday evening in lieu of $5,000 bail. Neither he nor his family could be reached for comment.

Not enough can be done to prosecute this bastard.:o I hope his family can't post bail.:mad:

That is sad. Animal cruelty among domestic animals shuld be a felon in all 50 states. I hope that PETA read this.:mad:
