I AM an animal lover and was sickened and distraught by the article in the Journal about the poor, defenceless dog that was brutally murdered.

What was that beautiful, innocent creature so guilty of that it had to suffer and die in such a tormented and hideously cruel way?

If you don’t like animals or can’t afford to keep them, don’t get them, or at least just let them go and have the chance of some kind person taking them in to love and care for them.

I hope whoever did it has nightmares for the rest of their lives. I believe in karma and what goes around comes around.

Judgement day cometh, you sad, cruel, pathetic cowards.

God rest that poor dog’s soul, safe now in heaven. RIP.
