If this sorry excuse of a human being took this 6lb dog out of his cage and strangled him, what would he do to a crying child or to a wife if she were to disagree whith him? As far as I am concerned anyone who can hurt an innocent anamial is just one step above a child-molester!
Anyone who can make an excuse for this kind of behavior is as sick and STUPID as the one who commited this sorry crime!
