Thank you Felicia, thank you so much for not turning a blind eye.

This person is a coward. I hope that he gets a judge willing to set an example. Given todays standard, expect a slap on the wrist and possibly a starting postion in the NFL.

I agree Juju, the human tendancy to apply sterotypes goes beyond our own species. and it truely befuddles me. Just with humans, black, white and tuxedo cats and dogs are some of the most loving and loyal companions you could ever have.

poor simian brothers. you can almost feel their sadness by that picture. Animals feel. Animals have emotion and animals have a soul. to doubt this is to doubt your own humanity.

KMF, Ill first start off, by stating i am no PETA supporter. This organization needs to refocus its efforts a little(ok a LOT), but.they do offer insight to some very disturbing trends in the food industry. They are able to do this due to their size. anyway, research "factory farms". Stay away from PETA sites if you want, there are plenty of other non PETA sites that all state the plain facts of how meat lands on your table. i, too love meat. I also like to know where it comes from. We as meat eaters, should be grateful for the animals that gave their lives for us to eat and be healthy. Some basic respect and compassion should be shown. cramming 1000s of cows pigs and chickens into cramped qtrs to save $ is not an ethical practice imho. regardless, agreed, PETA is at it again.

Jacobsen, Thank you for taking the extra time to care. What a great story of care and compassion in the face of indifference.

Ditto to the post above. By all means adopt a kitten or puppy if you plan on giving it a life time of love, but you will never regret saving an adult pet.

typical of what is wrong with modern science, this intelligent bird has been reported and observed using tools for nearly 400 years. Not including the ancient observations noted by Aesop. For some reason, todays scientists believe they are smarter than their predecessors. either way, great story about what animal lovers have always known, the animals that share our planet are not mindless automatons, but living breathing intelligent creatures that deserve our respect.

WHAT A GREAT DEAL! Get out there and do something that will benefit your furry faithful friend a lifetime! best yet is FREE

Thank you Judy, our ebony pets are treasured creatures. Not because of their color but because of their indifference to human prejudice and superstitions against color. it is a sad testimony to the times we live in where a black cat is still feared and tortured on Halloween.

My heart goes out to your family. I pray that Duncan will be found soon. What a handsome looking boy. Please research the ID Chip implants for when you find him. Regardless of where you move, the chip stays with Duncan and can tell any vet, SPCA, rescue group who he is and how to find you. it is worth every cent.

My pets will also join me as well as anything else my surviving family needs to add to cope with their loss. i plan on being dead while in the casket, so i wont really care much. It is truly amazing that there are actually laws prohibiting what you can and cannot put into a casket. keep in mind that most states require vaults in addition to the casket. Regardless, rest in peace Mr King, you too Valentine.

Vick is still lamenting his capture and fall from grace only.

another fine example of Man's ability to bring suffering to the world around him. also another fine reason to care. Thank you for caring enough to stop and then do something about it. Thank you Cat protection league!

my pets are my family. id die trying to save them from a burning building. BUT i am not shallow enough to believe for 1 second that my pet has a horoscope. this is pretty pathetic IMO. gives animal lovers a pretentiousness we dont need.

does anyone know who is representing the state? I am sure given this kids parents, he will have a high $$ lawyer trying to get him out on a technicality. This kid need some serious help.

i suppose you have to support your rich people showing off their manliness by hunting these animals from low flying planes and helicopters. what true manly men they are. "fast breeding" considering it took 35 years to get to a populations of only 1350 animals i would not call that fast breeding. but skewed reporting.

Aptly named Turtle. Needs to be saved, moves in takes up necessary care and leaves.

My hat goes off to you Bryan. Great effort to bring attention to this cause. Noone is saying chains are bad for your dog for monitored periods of time, but a life time chained enslavement for your living property is no life for anyone.

Sad story. JJ Gorsky, I hear what your saying. Just recently near me, the police raided the wrong home. First thing they did was to kill the dogs. a 15 yr old lab and a 6 mos old mixed puppy. In front of children no less. so they killed innocent pets, scared children for life but patted each other on the a$$ for a job well done. i tell ya, i wanted to climb through the TV to kick some cop butt for how crude they were about the whole thing. so i have no sympathy for jerk cops either. i just dont see the fair play in this article you mention. either way, the dog lost his life. i dont care if its a police dog or your dog. it makes me sad when one of them dies needlessly.

what a poor tribute to a faithful friend and loyal human companion. his life was a gift and a blessing. what a shallow selfish desire to keep a "copy" alive.

What is the evidence that they brought this kid in under? Have they clear it up yet? this is shaping up like they got the wrong kid or they demeaning the seriousness of these crimes.

That's scary, this kids parents can afford a 1/4 million in bail. that means here comes the high priced lawyer and insanity plea to get this kid in and out of the jail in 90 days. not good.

This is truly scary for pets and people alike. It is always a good idea to keep your cat indoors anyway, but it shouldnt be under threat of a psycho Dahmer wannabe.

I would strongly suggest not using Craigslist. Craigslist is full of predators both for humans and pets. Class B animal dealers use Craigslist as a shopping list. Unless your just going to buy a coffee table or other used nick nack, craigslist should used with sincere caution. thank you for taking in this poor soul. I hope you can help find her a new forever home.
