6 Puppies Apparently Killed by Fireworks
By CLAYTON BELLAMY

TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Six puppies were killed, apparently by fireworks placed in their mouths, shortly after teenage boys were seen carrying Roman candles in a north Tulsa neighborhood.

Animal control officers said they were following leads Tuesday but had no suspects in Sunday night's attacks, during which one person told police they heard a puppy yelp.

An older dog, a 4 1/2-month-old black Labrador mix, suffered burns on her muzzle and hindquarters from apparently being used as a moving target for fireworks.

The Tulsa Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was caring for the injured dog and for the puppies' mother, a 1 1/2-year-old black-and-tan heeler mix that was not harmed.

The injured dog had begun to eat and was expected to survive, said Laurie Mayes, executive director of the Tulsa SPCA.

The SPCA believes the puppies died from fireworks that exploded in their mouths.

A woman, Tonya Curry, 27, found all the dogs Monday among the remains of fireworks inside a vacant house and took the two survivors to the SPCA. When an animal control officer arrived later, the dead puppies were gone.

``Somebody probably went to clean up their mess so they wouldn't get in trouble,'' Officer Charity Curtis said.

The SPCA has raised about $1,000 and other organizations were undertaking similar efforts to reward people who provide information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible, officials said.

I am so upset by this. People are so cruel.

[Senusret I]

That's a damn shame. They'll get theirs.

Absolutely disgusting! I wanted to cry when I read this. What could possess people to do this to animals??

[AGDee]

What pyschos.

Words can't express my anger and sadness to such inhumane deeds. Poor little puppies! I hope those kids get what is coming to them!

This is just horrible. I hate hearing about animal cruelty. My husband says those kids should have someone stick roman candles in their mouths and see how they like it.

I have another orfice in mind. It's incredible how people can do things like that for "fun". These are the type boys that grow up to be serial killers. "Inflicting pain and death on animals as a youth" is one of the DSM-IV criteria for diagnosing antisocial personality disorder, which is the most common p.d. among serial killers or other criminals that fail to show remorse.

In cases like that, I gotta agree with ya, Rudey... a few public-square executions pour encourager les autres are sorely needed to bring about some kind of order outta chaos!

Unbelievable.

[decadence]

They should be subjected to unimaginable pain.

[cuaphi]

That happened around here recently. Some psycho apparently stole some puppies from the Dumb Friends League and then set them on fire.
I really think they should prosecute these people as if they'd murdered a person.

Sociopaths in training. They need to be punished, but they also need therapy.

Poor pup-pups!!!

Kids that age are so single minded and thoughtless. But by that age you should also have a moral base imbedded in you.
Damnit! That is so upsetting.

I am a dog lover - I have three lil buddies and I can't imagine anyone being that cruel.
