This hits home for me, because several years ago my husband stopped a tractor in the middle of a road as a cat ran across...only to watch in horror as it was caught in an illegal trap in a ditch. He jumped from the tractor, and managed to spring the trap, but had to stand there and watch the kitty die (it had a collar, and was obviously someone's pet).
This story has gone 'round the World over the last couple of days...so I wanted to share it here, too.
Sadie is a beautiful dog...and quite the "cuddler" apparently; what a HORRIBLE thing that someone dumped her (that often happens here in the rural areas). She stripped all of the skin from her mouth and tongue trying to chew her way out of the trap; when she finally pulled her paw out, it stripped the flesh down to the bone.
There are photos at the source...do NOT look at the close-up if you are squeamish...this one is bad enough.
If you feel so inclined, you can make a donation to help the brave Sadie get back on four feet at the link provided.
