Is it really that hard to imagine?

Mom is an animal rights nutcase, high probability sons would be too. Not hard for me to imagine.

If there were any real injuries, they would have been listed by the humane society vet who took the dog into his/her care after the arrest. Why is there not one mention anywhere of what those injuries were? My answer, there weren't any. Guaranteed if there were shocking or even injuries proving cruelty or abuse they would have been listed. This reporter was pretty thorough in her writing, and has several quotes from the prosecutor, yet nothing mentioning any injuries treated.

The only logical conclusion to draw is that there were none, that means a complete miscarriage of justice has been perpetrated by this court.

Ranger was taken to Frederick County Animal Control to be treated by a veterinarian.

Hrm, that doesn't sound like an injury-free dog to me. It seems logical that an UN-injured dog would be taken to animal control, while a visibly injured dog would be taken to animal control's vet. Given the nature of the beating, I imagine the dog suffered minor/major contusions, which are basically untreatable (just need time to heal). Although I have no issue with disciplining your animal, I am not ok with beating it to bruising. Also, it seems reasonable that this guy, with his oh-so-healthy alchohol "issue", was probably really letting that dog have it.

Where did the animal-rights nutcase come into the picture? Or is that hypothetical?
