Political & Elections

..want to guess who the vast majority of people who fight pit bulls vote for?- Give you a hint, it ain't gonna be Newt.

Don't be coy..do tell (since this has nothing to do with politics, after all.)

I would be happy to see animal abusers get prison time.  I would much rather see those who harmed or killed animals be incarcerated instead of non-dangerous drug offenders or pizza slice stealers on a third offense for a petty crime.  

In absolutely no way do I think this has anything to do with conservatives disliking liberals.

Right. But would you have posted this if the situation were the other way around?

The campaign manager of Arkansas Democratic congressional candidate Ken Aden arrived home last night to find his child’s pet cat murdered on the front porch with the word “LIBERAL” scrawled across its lifeless body.

Aden’s campaign manager, Jake Burris, lives in central Arkansas with his four kids. Blue Arkansas has more on the scene at Burris’s home (emphases are ours):

Last night, Jake and his four kids had come back to their Russellville home. As they were getting out of the car, one of his children discovered their family cat dead on the front porch. One side of the animal’s head had been bashed in and an eyeball was hanging out of its socket. But there was something even more horrifying to be found on the corpse. Written across the animal’s fur in black marker was the word “LIBERAL“.

 

Note: I quoted from a different article, but I like the link I provided better.

 

In absolutely no way do I think this has anything to do with conservatives disliking liberals. But it terrifies me that someone who could do this is in that community. How disturbed do you have to be to think this is OK or that this is going to somehow get your point across? Isn't torturing animals one of the warning signs of a serial killer? Also, the manager has 4 children- who knows if they're safe with a lunatic like this walking around. I can't imagine what he's going through worrying about his children.

I googled this for a while just hoping that it would turn out to be some sort of sick joke from one side of the aisle or the other. Unfortunately, it seems to be legitimate.

I am just beyond horrified at this. Also, the sad thing is, in the majority of places- torture of an animal like this won't get you much, if any, jail time. Our animal cruelty laws (or really, their implimantation) are horrendous IMO. But that's another issue.
