Disgusting, Sickening, Awful... - Page 2

The only update I can give so far is that they found another part of the dog's body on a train track, tied down. So some sicko tied Chico to a train track. Who knows if he was dead or alive. Poor dog. If I hear or find out anything else, I'll post it. jackie harris

This is one of the worst cases of animal abuse I've heard of in a very long time.
They tied him down to the train tracks?! Whether dead, or alive....that is OBSCENE and horrific. Whoever did this is extremely disturbed and needs to be locked up....can you imagine how perverse this person would have to be to do all of this....then to deliver the body......this is just too grotesque for words. The poor family, I cannot fathom how they must be feeling. I'm apalled!

Please keep us updated.

So the dog wasn't sawn in half...he was tied down on a railroad track!  Sounds like something that teens might do...Someone afraid of a dog like that isn't going to get close enough to tie it to the railroad tracks; they will just shoot it.

As for being mistaken for wolves...Before a person passes judgment on a dog, they should at least trouble to learn enough about dogs to be able to have a clue what the breed is.  Huskies, other than color, don't really look like wolves at all to me, not even close.

Also, I've never met a mean Husky.  I suppose there are some, but I've never met one.  No excuse to hurt him so, I'd imagine, which again, is why I tend to lean toward kids.

 CrysBuck I have a few Huskies, I've trained Huskies for other people, and have been around more than I can count.  The only mean Husky is an unsocialized Husky.   I'm curious, do any of these resemble wolves at all to you? These are older pictures, but these are mine. You haven't been around the public much have you? I can't tell you how many people mistake Sierra for a hybrid, but let alone how many people think a lot of Huskies resemble wolves.  Move to a redneck city and you'll find plenty of uneducated rednecks lol.....which is sad, they'll shoot and then boast about the trophy they got.

 

The media is updating the link above as the 'story' developes. I have to return to work tomorrow, but I will keep track of this as time is available. I would like to petition the PSPCA or Philly PD to prosecute the person who did this to the fullest extend the law allows. Anything I find out, I will share. If anyone else learns anything about poor Chico's fate, please feel free to post it. jackie harris

beautiful animals

No, GSDguy08, they don't look a thing like wolves to me. 

I have been around the public; there, you're wrong.  I know how bloody ignorant people can be.  I even spent a summer working in the animal shelter.  The ignorance I saw there was astounding.

I realize knowledge of dog breeds is something most people don't have, even those who work with dogs.  But the way I see it, if you are going to decide to kill a dog based on its breed, you should at least be man enough to know what breed it is!

Of course, there are the rednecks you spoke of, but to me, it has nothing to do with where you grew up...if you're ignorant, you're ignorant.  There are big cities full of them, and small towns, all across this planet.

I still don't believe the dog was killed because some crazy redneck decided to get him a wolf.  A backwoods boy who was wantin' him a wolf trophy would have shot the dog, not tied it down on a railroad track and let it get cut in half by a passing train.  I still say that smacks of the cruelty of teens...

Regardless, a human being capable of doing that to a dog shouldn't be allowed around other humans!!!

My god this brings back horrible memories to me, how anyone can do this is beyound me, i bred a litter many moons ago, thinking i had found them all perfect home only 3 yrs later to recieve a call from my uncle to tell me about the pup i had homed by him, the people got another shepherd and bred a litter which they then kept another male pup, when these 2 males were in the shop with the owners they had started to bark and growl at customers, the 2 male had been forund mutilated by the railway track trying to make it look like a train had hit the dogs, , the police arrested the owners and they went to court and were imprision for 6mths, I have never bred another litter and i dout i ever will, 6 months for doing that is nothing,
My heart goes out to the dog and his owners, for all the suffering that has been caused, but i dout if the persons who did this will ever recieve enough punishment for what they did , I do hope karma gets them and what ever it is i do hope they suffer a very long time
R.I.P Chico

Oh my gosh Nellie, that's horrible!  I'm so sorry you had to go through that. People are so sick.
