Furthermore, in the article it was stated that the woman who owns Zeus
“looked toward Cole's house and saw him in a front window laughing.” The only
thing that goes through my mind is how someone can hypothetically get a
“thrill” off of an causing, in this case, a dog a severe amount of pain and
just laugh about it? If I were in Cole’s position, which I would NEVER want to
be in, the regret and hatred I would feel towards myself would be immense. I
personally can’t handle the thought process Cole must have gone through to want
to intentionally shoot a dog to show he was angered at his neighbors, I’m
just glad to hear this dog is going to recover and even gladder Cole is
getting charged for what he did!

Kent man charged with animal cruelty for shooting dachshund in leg
In this article,
which was written by Steve Hunter is one of those cases where you think to
yourself how someone could be so senseless. Steven William Cole, a 49-year old is being charged with
first-degree animal cruelty for ostensibly
shooting a neighbour’s 7-year old dachshund in the leg with a pellet gun. Cole
openly admitted to the deputy that he does indeed own a high-powered pellet
rifle which he used to shoot rabbits on his property, but what baffles me is
that he used this pellet rifle which I would assume should not be used to kill
any type of animal to injure someone else’s animal. I do realize, as a pet owner,
having someone’s pets’ feces on my lawn would quite disgusting and indeed
irritating to have to clean up constantly but Cole could have approached the
situation in a more humane manner.

"Horrible Act": Severely Burned Cat Found in West Sacramento
Searching though articles and articles of animal cruelty cases
isn’t as easy as you think; this article is one of those that make me question
the humanity in some people. On May 4th/2012 Yolo County Animal Services had responded to reports
made by witnesses of seeing a “ball of fire” when really it was a cat that
someone set on fire! All I have to say is why, why would anyone in the right
mind set an innocent cat on fire? This cat was a stray so no one knows who was
responsible for inflicting harm upon it, but if you think about it would you
want to be set on fire? This poor cat was euthanized to take it out of its
“unimaginable pain and would have to lose limbs because of how bad the burns
were.” So to put this in perspective, switch places with the cat…imagine you
being lit on fire!
As
mentioned in the article “investigators say the cat was intentionally set on
fire after being “doused with an accelerant,”” I am inferring that whoever did
this to the cat may have in fact been a group of teenagers thinking they would
be cool to set a cat on fire, though if you think about it what makes you think
hurting an animal for no apparent reason is in any way cool? To think
there are people who would do this just makes me cringe and brings tears to my
eyes, if they find whoever is responsible I dearly hope they are punched and
feel immoral for what they did!

Man wanted for animal cruelty
Reading
this article deeply saddens me because seeing the level of irresponsibility
that some people have for their animals is just heart-breaking. Ken Jones, the
owner of two dogs is wanted for animal cruelty after Animal Cruelty
investigators searched his home after a compliant was made, leading to the
death of one dog and the other was lethargic (tired, exhausted, etc.). He
stated that he was helping his sick mother and unable to care for the two dogs,
in addition he was incapable of taking the dogs to the veterinarian due to his
lack of money. To me I think that Jones is making up excuses as to why he
couldn’t care for those poor dogs, he should have taken responsibility and
taken the dogs to an animal shelter so they could be watched over and treated.
If you look at my previous article it talks about two men
physically hurting pigs and they are sentenced a total of 10 weeks of jail
time, Jones should be enduring the same fate although he is facing a charge of
cruelty to animals which I hope leading to serving time. This man was extremely
negligent for not rightfully caring to his dogs but what makes me cringe is
that he didn’t know one of his dogs was dead; he shouldn’t have to worry about
having a dead dog if he had only been a responsible pet owner and provided a
safe and loving environment, not chaining them to a fence and leaving. I hope
Jones never has the luxury of owning a dog ever again, saving them from his
reckless care.
Animal cruelty pair jailed after being caught stubbing out cigarettes on pigs’ faces and hitting them with baton.
On April 25th/2012 a pair of men by the names of Piotr
Andrzej Wasiuta, 30 and Kelly Smith, 40 were sentenced a total of 10 weeks for
being caught in the act of pushing a lit cigarette onto the forehead and snout
of three different pigs, as well as beating them with the edge of a ‘slapper”. Wasiuta was
sentenced 6 weeks in jail for being the one who had pushed a “lit cigarette
onto the forehead and snout of three different pigs as well as and forcing hot
ash into one of the animals’ faces as it squirms to get away.” While Smith is
only sentenced 4 weeks in jail for “ hitting one pig 30 times in a minute -
forcing the animal to sit down and pant heavily during the tirade of blows.”
When reading this article I became very
disturbed to know that these men were secretly filmed by the animal rights group Animal Aid and they did not step in and notify
police that any of this was happening to those poor pigs, I understand that
they may have wanted to collect further information on these men to perchance
the increase of charges towards Wasiuta and Smith. Though if I were in their
position I would have done something knowing those pigs were being harmed. In
addition this article provides a YouTube video of the men discreetly doing
exactly as stated in the article, stubbing out cigarettes on pig’s faces and
hitting them with a baton as well as with their fist. I could only watch a
painful thirty seconds before it become too overwhelming for me to watch. The
disrespect I have towards Wasiuta and Smith is beyond me, I truly hope their
jail sentence increases for the crimes they have committed.
