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.

Gee, where’s Rosie to tell us how ebil those Christians are, and anybody’s religion is equal to or better than Christianity?

Nothing to see here ... just some young folks finding creative ways to express themselves... move on.

Oh - and get that cross off your lapel, it might offend someone. And don't forget that it is illegal to post the 10 Commandments on the classroom wall. Some poor kid might be influenced to actually FOLLOW them...

Probably Hillary supporters trying for better results....

Hope these monsters will be caught and punished.

Last year a Freeper argued with me that there was no such thing as Satanism. No, I don't think his screen name was La Vey.

Was Michael Vick paroled?

Guess it would make sense to a satan-worshipper to be murderously cruel to dogs (gulp), since satan hates humans and dogs love us. Gonna take my pup for a “W - A - L - K” right now, and pray for the sick pukes that did this. Yikes.

Sounds like some Hillary supporters after a campaign event... hmmmm

Twenty years ago, I once saw a dog hanging from a railroad crossing light on my way to college. Actually, it was half a dog - cut long ways.

Some things you never forget.

I’ve always thought it was satanists.

I wonder if there were any likeness of Barrack Hussein Obama found at the site? Interesting ...

If those who done this are found, they should be given the same treatment.

[ClearBlueSky]

Oh- and why would Satanists do this to dogs??
What is dog spelled backward...

There are real, authentic sickos out there.
Today’s my day to clean and lube my home defense weapons. This inspires me to do an extra good job.

It must be those evil Christians celebrating Palm Sunday.

(DO I REALLY need a sarchasm tag?)

I am curious to know if the pentagram (a star in a circle) was actually a star in a crescent?

[BGHater]

Interesting.

A while ago, in Peru, Shining Path used to hang dogs from lamppost to symbolize the beginning of a insurgency.

It’s a good thing for those satanists that I was nowhere around. Had I been, there would have been a bunch of them sitting on hot coals and comisserating with satan in hell.

[uncbob]

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

Were any Huck-a-spawns in the area?
