- Jeff,
-
- Have you seen the story on the news about a dog named
Lucky? It's a big local news story here, being covered on all the major
news channels.
-
- This past Sunday, 3 teens were witnessed beating a dog
to death. The dog, Lucky, a one year old Jack Russell Terrier, was being
beaten to death when a person finally spotted and stopped the teens from
continuing their senseless acts of the most despicable violence.
-
- The incident took place in Asbury Park, NJ and the dog
was so badly beaten, the vetenarians were very uncertain if they should
even try to help the animal recover. The three teens first took to beating
the dog down with their fists, then repeatedly kicked the dog when it was
down and not fighting back. Then, they were seen picking up the animal's
lifeless body and throwing it against a brick wall. And finally, when they
were eventually stopped, they were seen picking up cinder blocks, getting
ready to finish the animal off.
-
- This is one of the most disgusting and heart-wrenching
stories I've heard in a long time. Not to mention the obivous psychological
impairment these three teens have. Mind you, there was another senseless
act of violence against animals here in New Jersey earlier this year, when
another three teens (all eighteen and older) broke into the Popcorn Petting
Zoo in Lacey Township, NJ and killed several birds and harmed many other
animals. The Zoo is a shelter for abused and abandoned animals and operates
off of donations.
-
- Currently, there is a $1,000 reward for information leading
to the arrest of these 3 teens. This act is so inhumane, I personally hope
they increase the reward and turn it into a bounty instead on the heads
of these three individuals, regardless of their age. If they could do this
to a defenseless dog, imagine what they could do to a person they disagree
with as well. Recognize that this is anti-social mob mentality, a three
on one gang up. They are are mentally deficient here and although there
was a witness to the crime, actually confronting the teens, the news is
playing this one by lending little detail and keeping their identities,
"non-descript". In plain english, if these were three white teens
in Asbury Park, it would be A LOT easier to catch them as they would be
fewer in that particular area and therefore easier to catch. I hope this
story does not get spun and burried because of possibly inciting anything
to do with race. This was a violent crime done by American citizens who
are under jurisdiction of our country's laws. Can we just handle the case
as such...please...I beg you.
-
- The dog was shown on the news this morning. With a protective
collar around his neck so he can't lick the healing stiches and wounds,
he seems to be in good spirits. The veterinarian remarked that the Jack
Russell Terrier breed is a very tough dog and not many other animals could
have survived this kind of savage beating. The dog did lose his sight in
the beating but there is some hope that it could be do to brain swelling,
as brain damage was indicated, and could heal to some or full restoration.
-
- I honestly hope these teens are caught and not only tried,
but a thorough examination is given their lifestyles to disect this behavior
and eradicate it. I want to know their names, age, race, socio-economic
class level, their current diets, their vaccination records, what are their
grades like, what are their reputations, what are their police records,
what kind of television, music and video games do they entertain on, if
they come from broken homes, if they were physically, mentally or verbally-abused
themselves.
-
- Is that too invasive or does it sound like big-brother
tactics of profiling to you? Well it's not. It's about asking the important
questions, "What causes someone, NO, three individuals to act this
way?" It's about They should be thanking God right now that someone
like myself did not witness them do this thing. For they would not have
gotten away. The headline story would have read, "3 teens found severely
beaten and on life support, 1 dog was also found severly beaten."
If we are in a free for all society that doesn't take ANY responsibility
for the way it stimulates and educates people, then I should not be held
accountable for the way I would decide to handle the situation at that
moment as well.
-
- Does that make me no better than them? Not exactly. I'm
not about to go out attacking innocent people. Whereas the dog didn't have
a voice to say, "PLEASE, STOP, PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!" perhaps
someone bashing in their skulls and kicking them in the ribs would help
them evolve quicker, realizing that violence is not a good thing, especially
when it is inflicted back at them. I don't go for the Politically Correct
methods, where if they are youth, they might be tried with kid gloves and
get off easy. Incidentally, those three teens in Lacey Township, within
the first month of landing in a county facility awaiting their trial, an
inmate broke one of the eighteen year old's jaw and beat him within an
inch of his life while guards failed to respond within a timely manner.
Perhaps there is justice in this world, even if it has to be doled out
by other criminals. I wish they had published that prisoner's name in the
paper, I would have liked to send him a carton of cigarettes or whatever
he needed in there.
-
- But come to think of it, this is begining to almost sound
like a piece about our own current administration and the way they take
on countries like Iraq? Now the question is, if the media covered the killing
of innocents over there the way they did with these three teens beating
on this poor dog, would people be as equally infurated towards George Bush
& Co. as I am now about this senseless beating? I doubt it. We live
in a world where animals are pampered and treated better than humans anyway.
My own dog lives in a nice warm home, gets fed daily, can sleep all day
and watch television with us. Yeah, there is something seriously wrong
the state of affairs right now in this world. Incidents like this are reminders
to some to see if they can still feel pain. This just added to my own today.
-
- Peace and prayers for the dog and to the families that
might be shamed in knowing these teens. May God have mercy on their souls
and issue them the trial of the experience of this event, through the dog's
eyes and spirit, when they die. That I pray is the justice we ALL face
when we pass on. That would be true justice.

-
- Mr. Macedo, I read your poignant letter in regards to
the brutal beating of the Terrier. I can see that is upsetting to you.
-
- People who beat innocent beings need to be removed from
the gene pool. However, I cry over the thousands of people that our government
has slaughtered in the last three years. People who had minimal utilities,
minimal foods, no health care, no money, no recourse to fight the Hordes
who have gutted their economy, stolen their goods, that were protected
by treaty, and murdered their families while they were asleep or in the
full light of day. All done in the name of "liberation" and
"democracy".
-
- The question is never what kind of God would allow that,
as obviously God did not start that war, but the question is ALWAYS What
kind of people would allow that to happen!!!!!
-
- I am sorry for the poor and precious animal that was
so brutally beaten by the Spoiled and Hateful teens, but I am deeply shamed
that I seem to be the only person who has cried themselves to sleep over
the mass murder of people like us, who love their children and want to
see them grow, not hold them int heir arms until they die screaming in
agony from the shells, bullets and missiles of this country that you and
I have bought and paid for with our taxes.
-
- I am ashamed that we as a country have become a corrupt
and evil group of fiends who do not lift a finger to stop any of the murder,
rape and pillaging that is done is our name to a people who just want to
live and be happy like us.
-
- But we will pay dearly for our silence, because we have
allowed this to happen from the safety of our selfish and narcisistic mental
state that wants designer clothes and a Mercedes Benz.
-
- How do you spell Nazi? How do you like our tax dollars
murdering children? And killing our own troops slowly and agonizingly
with Depleted Uranium? Denying them medical care for them and their families
that will die miserably from the same radiation that the soldiers have
so lovingly brought home with them!!!! Vietnam brought us marijuana and
Herpes. The Bush Regime and Kadaverous Kabinet have given us bankruptcy,
treason, and mass murder right here on our own shores.
-
- That is what keeps me up at night. I thought I would
share that with you. Yes, it is wrong, wrong, wrong that those boys tried
to kill that dog, but it is more wrong that no one intervened sooner.
