Puppy Brutally Murdered in SF


Reward offered for fatal stabbing of puppy

Who could do such a thing? The sickness and evil of human beings never ceases to amaze me. This poor pup was friendly as can be and was being fostered until he found a new home. Sadly, pits are often taken, along with other breeds, to be used as bait dogs. My guess is some sick predator was looking for exactly that at Ocean Beach (which is right below Ft. Funston, where tons of dogs congregate every day).

If one reads the comment section on SFGate, you will see many with their panties bunched up that a reward was offered in this case. They cite other murders...of a boy stabbed in the Excelsior, the Bologna family, etc. All horrific tragedies that no reward was offered. But Grateful Dogs Rescue and Friends of Animal Care and Control, who put forth the reward, feel strongly that the slime that did this should not be walking free. It's common knowledge that violence to animals is indicative of future violence to humans. I'm glad our society is slowly taking animal cruelty cases more seriously. In the end, it is not about the value of human life over animal life (the topic of another post but you can guess my stance-we are not more important than animals or trees, etc. and our pride in this matter is our downfall...), it's about securing a safe and peaceful earth for all of us.
