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.

come on. no such thing. religion is just opium.

[rawcatslyentist]

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

[TheBattman]

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...

[Abathar]

Probably Hillary supporters trying for better results....

[Jane Austen]

Hope these monsters will be caught and punished.

[Muleteam1]

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.

[Eurale]

Was Michael Vick paroled?

[MonicaG]

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.

[tomnbeverly]

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

[Frank_Discussion]

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.

[tomnbeverly]

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

[Piquaboy]

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...

[NaughtiusMaximus]

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.

[null and void]

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.

[ought-six]

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

[avg_freeper]

Were any Huck-a-spawns in the area?

[E. Cartman]

Were any Huck-a-spawns in the area?

My first thought exactly.

[navyguy]

They hang dogs in Spain on a routine basis. Its at nearly epidemic proportions.

Another reason I’ll never visit Spain.

[KC_Conspirator]

Where was Huckabee’s kid?

[gundog]

Gonna take my pup for a “W - A - L - K” right now...

Is he looking over your shoulder?

Try this sometime: when your dog is in deep sleep: set a piece of hot dog in front of his nose. Watch him for a few minutes. Then whisper "walk" or "walkies" or whatever word he associates with a walk, and watch him snap to attention. Apparently their noses sleep but their ears don't.

[RightWhale]

It’s illegal to hang your dog unless he is rabid. Maybe they were all rabid.

[foreshadowed at waco]

I heard a line in a Gen X movie where the Ethan Hawke character says that Evian is naive spelled backwards!

Yeah ... I'm sure those satanists sacrificed the dogs to cover their sins until the day of atonement.

[Catholic Canadian]

Hey - didn’t you hear? Christianity is pure evil! Satanism, Wicca and Islam are all much more rational!

[GladesGuru]

Maybe Elvis came back as a vampire?

[GladesGuru]

Why do the Spanish hang dogs?

[sheik yerbouty]

Rosie will say it was just some innocent satanists cooking hot dogs..

[sheik yerbouty]

Do they even have a shred of a reason for this, or is it some weird Moorish custom that has rtemained there?

[Clemenza]

Funny, while in Spain I never saw dogs being hung, or heard of such a practice. Sounds like some sort of Gypsy ritual if this is the case.

[eyedigress]

Don’t forget about GWB, her favorite scape-goat.

[Varda]

They’re Satanists and their representative is John Murtha.

[uncbob]

Yeah ... I'm sure those satanists sacrificed the dogs to cover their sins until the day of atonement.

sacrifice is a sacrifice
Why should an animal be sacrificed to cover your sins

[Jane Austen]

I don’t think so. But Vick’s trial on state charges has been postponed.

[Palladin]

Well, Hillary was here on Saturday.

[TASMANIANRED]

Short step to killing a human.

[Jane Austen]

Often serial killer have a prior history of animal abuse.

[TASMANIANRED]

They work their way up...

[Jane Austen]

Yep. Here you have sick people who are likely to pose a danger to others.

I was sickened when I read what Mike Vick had done and likewise when people publicly cheered him. I hope he gets time added from the state case.

[Thumper1960]

Hope these monsters will be caught and punished.

Just some demoncrat campaign workers, getting rid of excess stress from their treasonous activities in selling out this nation.

[Wicket]

I’m no PETA nutcake, but to torture the helpless - whether a child, an old or disabled person, or as in this case an animal is beyond my comprehension.

I look forward to the day when a just and righteous God allows unrepentant people of this ilk to receive exactly what they deserve.

[Jane Austen]

Amen!

[dartuser]

Why should a human be sacrificed to cover yours?

[rbosque]

Years ago when I worked as a custodian, I found a satanic altar in a high school bathroom. Was I shocked? Sadly no. Those kids certainly acted like little devils. There wasn’t a day that went by that I didn’t erase some type of satanic graffiti from the walls.

[uncbob]

Why should a human be sacrificed to cover yours?

Ask Abraham --he was willing to put the knife to his own son --talk about a mental case

[dartuser]

lol ... I really don't think there is any common ground to continue this dialog. Your understanding of both the text and context of the Bible is spotty at best.
