I'm very forgiving about a lot of things, but not about animal cruelty. I believe that anybody who can mistreat an innocent animal is beyond redemption. Kids, no matter how old, who are cruel to animals should be watched very carefully for the rest of their lives.
Because sure as hell anyone who can torture a cat or a bird can easily graduate to a person. Such monsters made the news in Miami yesterday, a group of teen-aged boys who tried to drown a 3-year-old Shih Tzu in a canal at Northwest 183rd Street. These creeps had stuffed the poor dog into a plastic bag and attached a brick to its hind leg. Fortunately a young man named Carlos Torres witnessed the cruel crime, jumped into the canal and saved thy piteously crying dog. The news report did not say whether they caught these sadistic little shits, nor did it say how one can reach Mr. Torres to commend him for his bravery. We do know the dog has a disintegrated femur and is scheduled for surgery on Monday. The procedure will cost about $1,500. If you want to donate money for this dog's surgery, please visit www.furangelsrescue.com.
Note: The dog shown is not the one tossed into the canal. But imagine just how cowardly, how heartless, how demented a teen-ager must be to take such a small, helpless creature and attempt to murder it. If the perpetrators have been identified, their parents should feel a ton of shame and fear for the future.
