A New Cruella De Vil

November 15, 2009 · Print This Article

I have to ask again: what is wrong with people?  Did you see the news from Selden, NY late last week?

A 20-year old young man turned in his mother for the animal cruelty she had been inflicting for apparently several years.  Investigators found 6 animals stuffed in filthy cages, and upon further checking, found 20 animal corpses buried in the back yard.

Now, you may remember that I live near Cleveland, and we are dealing here with a man who raped and killed at least 11 young women and buried them in his yard.  That’s bad, but in the NY case, the woman forced her children, aged 18 months to 20 years, to participate in her crimes. (And no, I’m not making comparisons between the two cases – both are horrible.)

Her son described instances where the children would be forced to hold a dog down while she beat the dog and taped his mouth shut with duct tape.  Unbelievable!!!

Read the whole story from the Associated Press.

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog

    yes, this is absolutely horrible. But, I can’t believe you have the audacity to compare it to the raping and death of 11 women.

    Both are tragedies! Is out society getting sicker or are we catching more of the sick people?
    This woman’s children will be scarred for life…and their children will be scarred to.

    READ she said she wasn’t comparing them

    She said she wasn’t comparing them, but she kind of was. The key phrase is, “That’s bad, but in the NY case…” implying the NY case is, in at least one way, worse than the raping and murders. It’s like saying, “I’m not trying to be racist, but black people are kind of stupid.” It just doesn’t work.

    To clarify: my point in mentioning the Cleveland crimes was mostly because they have been on my mind lately. I probably didn’t write carefully enough that anyone would know this, but what I was trying to say is not that the CRIMES were more important against the dogs, only that the effect on the woman’s children would be horrendous because of being made to participate in the abuse. The man in Cleveland acted alone, and did not scar any bystanders in the process.

GOT SOMETHING TO SAY?
