Because this is what sells. This is what people will bother about. This is what has lured people out of Chat 'n' Games to express their horror and disbelief. A bloody dog. It's depressing. It's depressing that the guy killed it, it's depressing that the owners had it locked in a garden bored and barking it's head off, but it's mostly depressing that people simply ARE - and admittedly - sadder and more upset about this than the countless horrors that are affecting people every minute of every day. I don't know. Maybe people just don't like to think about it too much? Poor puppy.

I think you're reading too much into this TS, there is a lot of horrible things going on in the world but it doesn't mean there's no room to be sad about a little doggie too.
