THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
This was brought to my attention by a very good friend of mine. Let's stop these people from ever adopting any animal again! Thank you for your help. Pawz Up!
Steger, IL. is in the Chicago area, near the Indiana border.
PLEASE ADD THESE PEOPLE ON THE DNA LIST. THEY HAVE LIVED NEXT TO ME FOR 1 YEAR AND ARE ON THEIR FOURTH DOG! 2 THEY GAVE AWAY, AND THE 3RD WAS A 3 MONTH OLD PUPPY THAT THEY BEAT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE HIM OUT TO POTTY, SO WOULD BEAT HIM WHEN HE POTTIED IN THE HOUSE. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE THE PUP OR THEY WOULD THROW HIM OUT ON THE HIGHWAY! THE PUPPY IS NOW IN A FOSTER HOME, BUT HAS ISSUES.
THEY ARE NOW GETTING ANOTHER PUP. I DON'T KNOW FROM WHERE.

Hardened police officers have been shocked by the horrifying torture, mutilation and brutal slaying of a seven month old fox terrier puppy near Mackay at the weekend.
If found guilty, they could face up to two years in prison. Police have obtained video footage from a mobile phone which shows graphic images of the puppy yelping and howling in terrible pain as it hacked to pieces with garden shears and a pocked knife.
They said the owners were too distressed to talk to anyone about it.
The pups nose was cut off, its front right leg and rear left leg were cut off and it was decapitated. A three-part video series on a mobile phone shows the dog being tortured.
The maximum penalty under the Animal Care and Protection Act for such an offence is $75,000 or two years in jail; however the maximum penalty ever handed out has been a four month jail term.
WE BELIEVE THESE MEN SHOULD RECIEVE THE MAXIMUN PENALTY AVAILABLE IN AUSTRALIA FOR THIS SADISTIC, DISGUSTING ACT.
