Animal cruetly?**********************?

K a friend of mines, sons dog was shoot with a arrow, didn't die quickly then the guy burned the dog, well he admitted it ALL, the state Police took the complaint then told the son it's "closed", yeah well he called animal control they took a report and are talking to the prosecutor about the case. We'd like to write a story in the Open Forum of our paper and are finding the words are hard to come so they will print this and this matter won't be forgotten about, anyone out there with some proper wording would be a great help, of course we angry and yes the dog got out of the yard, and was looked for within in mins only to follow a blood trail, we don't want to scare people but this guy needs help, jailed, or something. His dog "runs at large" all the time, and this dog was a young pup hunting dog, Hound, very sweet, loved people and kids so there was no threat. Sigh, I just want to word this properly so they will print. Thanks in advance for your help, we will be keeping on Animal Control, but we want the prosecutor to know we don't want this just drooped.

Update:

Sorry about the spelling mistakes, wasn't thinking and angry when I wrote this, but that's a good point I won't let my anger get in the way. Thanks and the first answer is another good idea, keep them coming we need the help.

    That is awful. My heart goes out to the boy and the dog. I am not real good at wording either. Have you thought of maybe talking to someone at the paper. Maybe one of the writers there would be interested in doing a story on animal cruelty prevention and could mention this incident. Good Luck and continue pursuing this so the person gets prosecuted. That is the only way people will stop thinking they can just kill Innocent animals just because they want to.

    A good rule of thumb is to write it all in a computer file, then save the file and leave it alone for a day or two. Then open it and read it as if you were not the author. Make sure there are simply facts, and no anger.

    Telling how painful it was to watch or learn how this dog died is fine.

    You can admit your feelings, but don't make wild threats or accusations. You can give your opinion that this is abuse to the animal, and should not be condoned by ignoring it and not prosecuting the perpetrator.

    And run a spell checker. Spelling errors like what I see in your message here do turn people off so they might not listen if you make spelling errors.

    i might get a rabbit or 2 if I have been on your place. A rabbit is a cuddly furry animal that likes to be held and stroked. in assessment to a hermit crab they gained't quite harm you. possibly a chew or a scratch yet that hardly takes place. Hermit crabs basically scare me because of fact they pinch you and that they gained't enable flow. Rabbits are relitivly low-fee too. All you ought to purchase is a cage, rabbit nutrients, a water bottle, bedding, and your fairly plenty set. you will get a mini lop that are super in case you have not have been given plenty room for an more advantageous bunny like a French lop, which weigh a minimum of ten pounds. Lops may well be quite lovable with their ears looking plenty similer to hair on a human. Rabbits have their own character basically like a dogs or cat does. Rabbits may well be complicated in case you do not comprehend what you're doing. in addition they p.c. to consume end result and greens alongside with any un sprayed weeds on your backyard or backyard. Rabbits could additionally get quite excited and start to run quite quickly and its so lovable to make certain them like that. properly, as you could discover I recconmend a rabbit as your small animal. ^_^

    Call the local newspaper or even TV station and have them do a story. It would get better coverage. I am so sorry about the dog. That was a horrible thing to do.
