Candlelight Vigil for Burned Dogs Tuesday, April 14, at Dallas City Hall

[Cock Puncher]

A Candlelight Vigil in memory of the two dogs who were set on fire in
southeast Dallas last weekend will take place Tuesday, April 14, from 8 to 9
p.m. at Dallas City Hall, 1500 Marilla St. Animal Connection of Texas
(ACT), Metroplex Animal Coalition (MAC) and Texas Animal Defense Coalition
(TADC) are sponsoring the vigil.

Speakers include Susan Oakey with ACT, Jonnie England with MAC and Kent
Robertson with Dallas Animal Services (DAS). Candles will be provided, and
participants are invited to bring their dogs. Animal Guardians of America
will have adoptable pit bulls on site.

Saturday, April 4, residents in Pleasant Grove called 911 to report two
“fireballs” running down the street. Dallas Police responded and found two
badly burned pit bull terriers—a male and a female. Dallas Animal Services
was called to rescue the dogs, which had to euthanized the next day. Two
teenaged boys have been identified as suspects, and Dallas Police are
investigating the case. Seven other dogs belonging to the same family are
in protective custody at DAS. A Dallas municipal judge will decide April 15
whether they will be returned to the owners.

The two burned dogs have been named Hope and Justice by organizers of the
Candlelight Vigil.

Ehh.... I'm against cruelty to animals and all, but this seems pretty stupid.

[PJSOLDIER]

It brings more attention to the issue. Whether its gay or stupid or whatever you guys think doesnt matter. The only way to resolve problems such as these is to shed light upon the issue.

[charlie brown]

mmm - no, not really. it's not like setting dogs on fire has become a hobby for folks. this was just a couple of fucked up kids from a fucked up family that no amount of awareness would have helped them not do this

[PJSOLDIER]

Uhhmm yes there have been alot of animal cruelty cases aver the last couple of years not only lighting dogs on fire. It doesnt matter if its two stupid kids or an 80 year old woman. Its wrong, and should be dealt with. Awareness causes public support for legislation on said issue. More likely to get in trouble, the less likely people do shit like this.

[Damnsammit]

Well I am all for awareness and prosecuting those who torture animals because they more than likely have some underlying mental issues that could easily turn to homicidal acts against humans.

I just think having a candlelight service for two dogs is a little silly.

When a gay man calls you a vag, it's time to call it quits.

this would be the second time in ther last 2-3 years a dog has been caught set on fire.

Some ppl may remember Mercy, a pit that was beaten and set on fire. Russ Martin was even trying to raise money for the dog. They too, did something like this candle light thing
