Sometimes I think Torture and Death is the best punishment!

Human beings are the most cruel animals on earth. People like this should be tortured without mercy, I swear.

If you are sensitive, please skip this blog.


This is an article, which appeared in South African newspaper, The Daily Voice. I'm copying the article content here cos the uploaded is too small to read:

"Horrified Daily Voice readers are petitioning to put the owners of burned dog Tammy behind bars.

Animal lovers want the Cape Flats couple to receive the maximum possible punishment for setting their pet pitbull alight.

The heartless pair could face jail sentences of up to a year and fines of up to R200,000.

Beautiful Tammy was burned alive in her kennel this month.

The high-spirited dog used to jump over the fence into the neighbour's yard. But Tammy's carefree days came to an end when her owners decided to punish her.

They doused the dog's kennel with petrol and set it alight.

Thammy was badly scorched on her legs, face and belly, says Allan Perrins of the SPCA.

"Can you imagine being on fire for days on end?," he asks.

And she was also blinded.

Wept

Animal welfare workers wept when they found Tammy.

And Daily Voice readers phoned in wanting to adopt the poor creature.

But SPCA decided she had suffered too much for her to be kept alive.

There are already more than a thousand signatures on the petition.

"Animals cannot speak for themselves," says HIllary Faulman, who started the petition. "They are special creatures who deserve more respect."
