Please explain why a pet deliberately left to die a cruel, unnecessary death is not a criminal act? If this dog’s owner had chosen to put it out of its misery in a humane way, he would’ve been within his rights, as well as kinder to the animal.

Yes, animals are the property of the owners, but they are not furniture. We owe them food, water, shelter and what care we can afford to give.

Did you read the story? The man coudn't take his friend AND injured dog down, so he opted to take the friend. He did not return because he thought the dog was already dead.

Tell me how you would prosecute that case.

“If this dog’s owner had chosen to put it out of its misery in a humane way, he would’ve been within his rights, as well as kinder to the animal.”

Let me see if I’ve got this right...you think the original owner should have bashed the dog’s head in with a rock. Correct?
