Disgusting

I only bring these examples to your attention to let you know (as if you didn't already) just how despicable some people are, and why we need to know where our pets are at all times. Eric Scheie pointed this horrible item out to me:

Jelani Lewis and Jessica McKenzie say they are outraged at the death of their 17-year-old pet, Gizmo. Lewis said he watched helplessly early yesterday as three men assaulted the dog the way football players kick field goals.

The dog was dead instantly when he hit the pavement. The man police say kicked him, Chad Daniel Crawford, 23, of the 1000 block of Long Hunter Lane is now charged with cruelty to animals and felony vandalism and was free yesterday after posting $25,000 bail, authorities said.

Death would be too good for the mutant Crawford. Sadly, I have to say that in this world, you simply cannot allow your dogs to run free outside your home any more unless it's in a fenced-in yard.
