Thank God the abuser is now in jail. I am glad that out of this, there is now a training program for those involved in considering these cases, to understand the link between cruelty to animals and domestic and child abuse.

So very sad. This is inexcusable!!! The LAD that is supose to protect her is a poor excuse for a human, but the trusting kitty was there. You can always count on our eurry friend Oreo..
Thanks Simone

The love of an animal. During the darkets days of my life my beloved Bones was always with me, often licking the tears from my cheeks.

To molest a child is a heinous sin.
