State police say they found three dogs hanging and burned over a pile of burning tires in Fayette County.

Police say the dogs were found about 5 a.m. Thursday in Redstone Township hanging by ropes from a tree.

Theresa Linden, manager with the Fayette County Humane Society, says officials don't know if the dogs were alive when they were hanged.

Linden says authorities also found the image of a pentagram on the ground, a five-pointed star commonly associated with Satanism.

The back of one dog was burned off. Another had puncture wounds to its neck.

Were any Huck-a-spawns in the area?

My first thought exactly.

They hang dogs in Spain on a routine basis. Its at nearly epidemic proportions.

Another reason I’ll never visit Spain.

Where was Huckabee’s kid?

Gonna take my pup for a “W - A - L - K” right now...

Is he looking over your shoulder?

Try this sometime: when your dog is in deep sleep: set a piece of hot dog in front of his nose. Watch him for a few minutes. Then whisper "walk" or "walkies" or whatever word he associates with a walk, and watch him snap to attention. Apparently their noses sleep but their ears don't.

It’s illegal to hang your dog unless he is rabid. Maybe they were all rabid.

I heard a line in a Gen X movie where the Ethan Hawke character says that Evian is naive spelled backwards!

Christians are, and anybody’s religion is equal to or better than Christianity?

Check the Old Testament --you know the parts about the Sacrificial lambs etc etc

Yeah ... I'm sure those satanists sacrificed the dogs to cover their sins until the day of atonement.

Hey - didn’t you hear? Christianity is pure evil! Satanism, Wicca and Islam are all much more rational!

Why do the Spanish hang dogs?

[sheik yerbouty]

Rosie will say it was just some innocent satanists cooking hot dogs..

[sheik yerbouty]

Do they even have a shred of a reason for this, or is it some weird Moorish custom that has rtemained there?

[Clemenza]

Funny, while in Spain I never saw dogs being hung, or heard of such a practice. Sounds like some sort of Gypsy ritual if this is the case.

[eyedigress]

Don’t forget about GWB, her favorite scape-goat.

[Varda]

They’re Satanists and their representative is John Murtha.

[uncbob]

Yeah ... I'm sure those satanists sacrificed the dogs to cover their sins until the day of atonement.

sacrifice is a sacrifice
Why should an animal be sacrificed to cover your sins

I don’t think so. But Vick’s trial on state charges has been postponed.

Well, Hillary was here on Saturday.
