Pit bull owner gets 2-5 (A NH First)

As a precaution, the chief said, he has asked the town to place a lien on DeVito's property, in case the money seized by the federal government does not make its way to the town.

I hope the town is listening and does as the chief suggests! Make sure to get a lien on that property!

When the Feds get involved, the little town of Newton could get lost in the shuffle!

Something that I don't understand is why this guy gets jail time for training dogs to fight while animal abusers who let their animals go hungry living in disgusting conditions get off with only fines?

What's the difference? Was it because this case involved dog fighting? Did these animals suffer any more than those being starved and neglected?

[SouthernFreebird]

I watch the show, animal precinct and see alot of people who should do some jail time.

[Bowana]

I Hate the "Animal Channel"! HSUS Propaganda machine!

But your comment on jailing animal abusers, I do agree with!

Not every person who left an animal in a car or let one ride in the bed of a pick up, but the one's who totally abuse and neglect them!

[AF68]

Animal abusers rank below pond scum along with child abusers in the Animal Kingdom. They should be thrown into a ring with their brethren and made to fight to the death with knives and pitchforks.

[SouthernFreebird]

Well with kids in the house it's one of the less obscene channels they can watch..... besides I like it :)


I was talking about real abuse of animals.....one of the worst ones I saw was a german shepard that was infested with tics....this poor dog must have had thousands of tics on her and she was not a stray! she had an owner who saw this... I hope that owner got some time behind bars!!

Lisa Dennison, executive director of the New Hampshire Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, one of the lead animal welfare agencies involved with the case, said she was glad DeVito will have to serve time in state prison.

You do not know that an animal suffers. There is no evil greater than that evil that places any living creature above human beings, and there is something basically obscene about the two-wrongs-make-a-right visciousness of those who sadistically enjoy human suffering.

Anyone who places the supposed suffering of any animal, or even all the animals in the world above the possible discomfort of even one human being is a dangerous and immoral person.

"The animals have no purpose except those which man have given them, and the only purpose anything can have is the pleasure of man. Animals are good only for whatever men choose to use them for, for work or petting, food or betting, to study, or to shoot.

"There is a human sickness that causes some men to enjoy the suffering of other creatures. The milder form of this sickness enjoys the suffering of animals. As digusting as this sickness is, it is no one elses business. The more severe form of this sickness causes men to enjoy the suffering of other men. This form must not be tolerated."

Dude, your scary.

Dude, your(sic) scary.

Not to humans, or the morally decent.

You don't know for sure if other human beings suffer, either. So I guess it's ok by you to torture other people, too.

[agitator]

As an enthusiastic hunter I can say that anyone who deliberately tortures animals has demonstrated that they would just as soon torture people. They are a menace to society (just like your Nazi attitude on the subject) and should be treated as such. Since your account is 2 days old, might I suggest that you climb back under the rock from whence you came.

"There is no evil greater than that evil that places any living creature above human beings"

You must be kidding. Indeed, your assertion is ridiculous. You better think it through again.

[parsifal]

Wonderful news! Pit bulls are great dogs and anybody who would train them to be violent should be put in jail. Makes a lot more sense than banning the dog like some idiotic communities have done. parsy.

Haven't studies shown that a certain type of human, serial killers come to mind, start out by torturing and killing animals and then graduate to human beings?? I will have to see if I can find that research or history study.

[1rudeboy]

Ok, I'll bite. So this guy should've been acquitted. What then? I presume you would allow him to continue training his dogs? What then . . . .

Try the HSUS website. They love to further that kind of propaganda.

I think it's called "First Strike".

[RikaStrom]

What is HSUS?

[Bowana]

Humane Society of the United States

[RikaStrom]

Doh. Thanks, I never thought of them in the acronym before, so I didn't make the connection.

[Bowana]

I'd give you the link but that Animal Abuse leads to serial killer stuff really burns me!

Just rememebr that those wackos consider hunting, dog racing, and farming to be animal abuse!
