A 43 year
old man, called Andrew Summerfield, has been convicted of two counts of animal
cruelty. He had shot his dog 10 times with an air rifle, slashed its face with
a meat cleaver, then left it for dead on a roadside with a noose around his
neck. They traced the owner through the animal’s microchip. Summerfield first
told the police he sold the pet before it was found. Eventually he changed his
story, saying that he did attack the animal, but that it was in self-defence.
Experts’ tests however had shown that
this cannot be the case. The RSPCA said it was among the worst cases of cruelty
it had seen in many years. Summerfield did not show up in court and an arrest warrant
has been issued.
Why would
you buy a pet and do things like this to him? I feel so sorry for the dog,
because he couldn’t put up a fight when his owner attacked him. I think it’s a
good thing the owner gets to be punished, and I hope they find him soon. People
like this man should be forbidden to have pets. Because why take an animal in
your house, and do something like this to it? I think it’s really sad for the
dog and I hope he will be alright and finds a better home where people will
really love him.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenI think beating your own dog is a cruel, horrific thing to do. A dog sees his owner as his friend and will always stay with his owner. WHY WOULD YOU THEN BEAT HIM UP!?
I sometimes wonder why we have so many sick people in the world. People who rape children and beat dogs and vice versa... It is a good thing that this man will be punished.
