Act of cruelty

Somewhere in Turkey in what a group of heartless kids thought was a game and highly amusing, after they drenched the dog in glue, they dragged him through the mud. And then they all ran away leaving the defenseless puppy to try and rub the hardening glue away. All he could do was rub and roll.pascal-3 It didn’t take long before the glue dried – and became a second skin as thick as cement preventing blood flow to parts of his body.  When discovered barely alive, the suffering puppy, who tried to hide from everyone as he languished in pain, was brought to a nearby shelter where the international rescue group, He’Art of Rescue stepped in to help.
When brought to the organization’s partner veterinarian hospital, the puppy’s prognosis seemed poor; his body and his spirit were nearly destroyed.  The dog was named Pascal. Doctors slowly peeled the layers of glue away from his skin. Because the blood flow has been severely compromised, one of Pascal’s ears was necrotic, and although he is still in pain, his condition has not worsened. Poor old thing.

I saw this story on the internet and was thoroughly sickened at what people can do to animals. Our local rescue centre recently featured a story of a dog that was brought to them - it had been thrown out of a moving car on a fast road. Three of its legs as well as ribs had been broken. Fortunately the sanctuary nursed it back to good health and found it a forever home, but what that dog must think of the human race is anyone's guess.

Yes Addy, it is sickening.
