Those responsible deserve an equal level of abuse and abandonment.
Oh come on you idiots! If you have someone then they did those terrible things to that poor dog! Cut off their ears, hands feet and dick! Let them think about what they did to that innocent pup!
Then leave them no food or water! Period.
This poor dog suffered immeasurable pain from the hands of a sick, psychopath, evil sub human. He must be found and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. You can see in the dog’s eyes the expression of severe suffering and abuse it had to endure. The person responsible should face a firing squad in my opinion. If he is capable of this imagine what other heinous evil he is capable of. I hope the reward offered leads to identity and prosecution!
These people who do these horrible things to animals need to be locked up for at least 20 years and made to pay a fine of $20,000 to a local animal shelter.
It’s the usual element that perpetrates these horrific crimes against animals and society. Too bad we can’t eradicate them the world would be a better safer place because they’re comfortable being incarcerated hanging out their friends and family till they perpetrate all over again and again….
