Animal Cruelty? I guess the first blow did not kill the dog, huh? Do freepers think that animals have rights now?

Is there a law against what Evita did to the dog? Yes or No?
Whether the dog has rights or not is an incredibly transparent attempt on your part to change the subject so you can rant your boilerplate anti animal rights rant. The question of animal rights in this context is simply non sequitor. You fool no one, but I notice you picked up a couple of like minded folks along the way. Congrats.
You don’t like animal cruelty laws? Get the law changed. As it stands, the question of animal rights is not even on the table. She violated the law.
Deal with it.
Read the whole story. This is Fatal Attraction type stuff.
From the article:
"...On Saturday, Daniel Williams made a call to his son, monitored by deputies, to inquire about the dog's location. Richard Williams was belligerent and argumentative and told his father: "she told you what she was going to do," and "all Evita wants is money and that's it." Deputies arrested both Evita and Richard Williams Saturday evening. Richard Williams is accused of stealing electronics that belonged to his parents and pawning them, Cannaday said..."
Nice.
Most of us can agree that a person in a fit of anger and fear for the safety of their child might grab a bat and repeatedly hit an animal with a club to disable or kill it, and could be excused for it.
What some of us have an issue with are people who threaten harm, break into someone's home, use hand tools to deliberately remove a lock, lead a trusting pet out of a house and beat it to deathe with a baseball bat. Because "all she wants is money".
This from a husband and wife team who apparently "want money" enough to STEAL belongings from their own family members for pawn money, and attempt to EXTORT money from them by threatening them.
I have always thought you can tell a lot about people by who they ally with. But to be charitable, I will take the stance they simply didn't read the article. That happens a lot around here.

Isn’t that the truth? It never ceases to amaze me the number of people on this board who truly hate animals. And now they’re saying it’s ok to beat a dog to death if it bites a child?? Seriously?? There are laws protecting both animals and children - and thank God for them. But I shake my head in amazement that anyone actually gives credence to this evil creature’s story that this poor sick 14 year old Retriever actually bit her child. If that had been the case I doubt seriously she would have said nothing at the time... Too many here wanting to excuse and validate her actions because they reflect their own views of animals. Frightening.
