Sickening
A Forest Grove man who buried his daughter's dog alive was sentenced Tuesday to 120 days in jail on one count of misdemeanor animal abuse. Hyrum Long, 75, said he was trying to euthanize the dog last October when he hit it on the head with a hammer and buried it up to its neck. Police were called to Long's home in the 2200 block of Laurel Street last October after neighbors heard the dog, a yellow Labrador named Molly, barking and whimpering in the backyard. They found Molly buried up to her neck and bleeding, unable to move. Long said the dog was sick, and since he could not afford a veterinarian, he struck her head with a hammer and dug a grave for her. Then he went to dinner with his daughter.
How could someone do this kind of thing?
TWO police officers caught on video beating their dogs have been allowed to keep their jobs in North Wales.
Shouldn't we expect police officers to show the highest level of character? I have a great deal of respect for the police. But, they lose the respect of the community when this kind of thing happens.
