Woman hangs dog after burning it because it chewed her Bible...

A US woman has been charged with animal cruelty after allegedly hanging her nephew's pit bull from a tree with an electrical cord and burning its body after it chewed on her Bible.
Animal control officers said that 65-year-old Miriam Smith told them she killed a female dog named Diamond because it was a 'devil dog' and she worried it could harm neighbourhood children.
Smith's nephew left the one-year-old animal at the home he shared with his aunt during the recent winter weather while he went away.
When he returned, he could find no trace of the dog and assumed she had broken the chain where she was usually tied at the front porch of the house.
An environmental enforcement officer came across the dog's body under a mound of dried grass, stinking of kerosene.
The dog had an orange extension cord wrapped tightly around its neck and its body was partially burned.

It makes me feel sick :( it's really sad!

I can't read the full story, it's awful... I feel so sad now

I hope they hang this woman from a thee and burn her :)

I can't see her case standing up in court, she could of just had it put down at the Vets far more humanely.

"She faces 180 days to five years in prison if convicted." - She's in for a decent sentence at least ;)

What a silly woman. It was only one year old, they're still in that annoying chewing stage at that age. She's going to Hell on a pogo stick for that, seeing as it's just a book - any true Christian would know this as the teachings are worth more than ink on paper. and her actions are completely unjustified. She'll ironically be getting the same treatment where she's going, assuming there is such thing as an afterlife and a Hell :P

That is truly awful, she deserved everything she gets. Poor dog.

Honestly - I hate dogs. I've got bad memories of them and whenever something like this comes up a little voice in the back of my head says "good" but the majority of my brain says "aww, poor thing - how awful". I have mixed feelings over this. Dogs like that - the one pictured anyway - shouldn't be allowed - however hanging it and burning it is obviously unlawful and absolutely disgraceful.

Really? How can you just say dogs like that shouldn't be allowed.. it's the owner, not the dog, I know a hella lot of pitbulls from when I take my little poodle out for walks and the majority of them are actually really nice - plus, you can't just outcast a whole.. species? of dog because a few of them like to chew books or are vicious.

Why exactly? The dog has done nothing wrong. Not all pit bulls are vicious killing machines.

A true Christian at heart
