Animal Welfare

@ABSCBNfan just tweeted this disturbing page in twitter that displays a hanged-clipped dog on a laundry line. Here is the link:

anyway, don't you think it's just sick for someone to do something like this especially to helpless creatures? let alone your own pet? I mean, pets are to be cared for not to be tortured, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not really an animal lover but, this is not right. Well, someone must do something. There is someone I know who supports his child with this "violent behavior". He'd buy him a "pet" may it be a bird, fish, hamster, lizards or even a dog. At first you'd think the boy is sweet, feeding his "pet" bathing, and even playing with it. But after a few days, you'll notice that the "pet" is getting thinner and thinner, weaker and weaker, and you'll wonder what's wrong. Then my father told me that this boy (10 y/o), would play with the "pet" until it gets weak, it'd cry and even run away from him, but of course, he'd catch up. And the fish, oh the fish, he will keep on catching the fish, you know catch and release? something like that, then the next day, it's not surprising that the fish is not there anymore. He does the same with my uncle and father's doves. My father caught him red handed poking the bird cages with a long stick. And also, my other uncle has a big aquarium, and this boy would climb up using a stool with a fish net, will try catching the fish inside when nobody is looking. I guess the blame would be on his father. His father knew what this boy is doing but still, he buy him these animals for a "pet". But I guess, they're both sick.
