Happy Fucking Holidays (Warning - Animal Abuse)

I am a relative newbie to this board. I often hang around GQ and ask/reply to questions posed to the teeming millions. I greatly enjoy reading the postings of many on the SDMB and only wish I had the eloquence to write like many of you. (Warning: emotional typing ahead)

Yesterday while I was sipping my morning coffee & reading the local paper, I came across this article.

I had to vent somewhere. Thank God for this forum.

I hope whoever did this is reading this right now (as, of course, a guest). Feel like a tough guy? You must be pretty proud of your actions being that the puppy is all of 8 months old.

You probably thought your stunt would never be discovered. You were wrong.

I hope you are very scared right now. Scared of being caught. Scared of the public reaction when people discover who you are. I hope this keeps you up at night when you think about what you’ve done. I also hope you never have anyone close to you suffer the same fate. Most of all, I hope we never meet face-to-face, because I would personally enjoy your evisceration while wiping my brow with your spleen.

The article mentions that the police don’t know who the owner is. I only hope that a family or children are not staying up waiting for their lost dog to come home. It would be a further tragedy if any kids have to learn the fate of their pet.

Finally, I’d like you to consider the time of year.

For all of us in the human race, we try to be more than civil towards each other during the holdiays. That has been magnified greatly in the wake of September 11. I guess you didn’t get that message. Well, let me sign off with a personal message from me to you.

HAPPY FUCKING HOLIDAYS, ASSHOLE!! I HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL!!

A) Most important: that is heinous and hideous and makes me wish I believed in karma.

B) THERE IS A TOWN CALLED “ATHOL?!” I have to lie down for a few minutes while my mind settles down. Oh, those poor kids, can you IMAGINE the teasing they must take?

Yeah, Athol exists. Can you imagine going to Athol high school? Or saying “I work in Athol”?

It’s a running gag around here.
