As of yet, i dont know of ANYONE who dosent like animals.
Not personally anyway.

But, you hear stories like this and it does make your blood boil. The people who do such gastly things should be hung.

A grisly discovery in south London has led to a dog owner being banned from keeping any animal for 10 years.

Two Yorkshire terrier-type dogs, abandoned by their owners, died of starvation while a third dog was forced to eat their dead bodies to survive.

The dogs were discovered by police in Peckham, following a complaint about a bad smell. RSPCA Inspector Mark Miles attended and immediately took the surviving dog to a vet where she was treated for severe malnutrition. She regained one-tenth of her bodyweight in just two days.

Owner Susan Poynter, 30, admitted causing unnecessary suffering to the dogs when she appeared before Camberwell Green magistrates. In addition to the ban, the court ordered her to carry out 150 hours community punishment and imposed a supervision order of nine months.

Ms Poynter said she had to move from the property when her partner went into hospital and she could not take the dogs with her.

The surviving dog, that is around three years old, has now been found a loving new home by the RSPCA.

"These dogs were left to starve for months," said Inspector Miles. "She could have asked for help rather than abandon them to their fate. It was a horrible end for them and the poor dog that survived only did so by having to eat her dead companions. This is one of the worst cases that I have had to deal with."



We are supposed to be living in a world of caring and compasion.....yeah right!!.
