In the USA, animal control officers are trained to look for child abuse when they visit the home of a neglected or abused animal because one often follows the other.

You describe the person who did this as 'human'. I'd say they were barely human. If they were no longer in the gene pool it would suit me.

I agree that any kind of abuse is wrong and to do what yhey did to that dog is sick. Reminds me of those horses that were neglected. But your original comments about hammering this persons is if i may add a tad extreme and would make you no better than the person whom neglected that dog.
