Young serial killers and their puppies

Psychologists profile potential serial killers as having "bad childhoods" filled with abuse or neglect, deep psychological or antisocial problems, and often having tortured or gruesomely killed animals like cats and dogs. This bodes badly for three teenage boys in Oklahoma who decided to celebrate Fourth of July a little early by placing fireworks in the mouths of 6 puppies that subsequently died from the explosions. Another 4-1/2 month old black Lab mix suffered severe burns after being used as a moving target for these future maximum secuirty prison convicts. The puppies's mother, a 1-1/2 year old black-and-tan heeler mix called Amaya who was found sitting with her 6 dead puppies, was unharmed though, thanks to these ruffians, is now completely traumatized. Both surviving dogs are in pretty bad shape: the 4-1/2 month old named Melody has large gaping wounds on her hindquarters and has patches of her fur and all her whiskers burned off. This atrocity ranks right up there with my post about those sickos in Belgium and Sacramento. Lovely, just lovely. If these boys want to save themselves from a pretty sad adult life killing people across the country in sick and methodical ways, I hope they turn themselves in and get some psychological help. Anyone lacking simple remorse or empathy for another living creature definitely needs it.

Melody will need plastic surgery to repair her wounds before she's adoptable, but as pet owners know, it isn't cheap. Donate to the Tulsa SPCA which is caring for the two surviving dogs. Let it be your good deed before celebrating your July 4th Weekend!
