Disgusting News Story

[purpod]

Hey peeps, you will NOT believe this one; it reminds me of the jerk on utube who was cruelly telling his tortie to "roll over", only this is much worse! I will be checking into the trust fund, should anyone else care to contribute, just lemme know and I'll send on the information!

Poor Bob! Thank God someone turned that twisted excuse of a human into authorities!

Ugh; anyways, blessings to all ~

that is an old story.. I think they did catch who did it, or suspect who.. and her dog also died mysteriously as well.
Is there still a fund to help pay for the Vet bill?

This is cruelty of the worst sort not only to the tort but to the poor young man. Here is a contact for this boy and they have the audacity to try and take this away from him. There is a special place in hell for people such as these.

Are you effing kidding me!!! What is wrong with some people? This make me feel sick to my stomach. Particularly when is said that it appears someone tried to remove him from his shell. I feel so bad for old Bob. I cant imagine what would make a "person" want to mutilate a tortoise. I think that person needs a taste of their own medicine.

The man who was arrested was 18 year old "Tony" Mosqueda; he was arrested for cruelty to animals and grand theft. I am looking into the funding to pay for the months of repair/healing for old Bob.

Yeah, Larry, there is a special place in h*ll for such viciously disgusting peeps; I totally agree with ya there!

I noticed this story is over a year old (July of 2007). How is Bob doing and what is happening with the thing that did this?

After reading all of the posts, I researched and found an article that provides the fund info.

From what I saw a while back, Bob did finally get to go home, but he is not the same tort as he was before this happened obviously.

 

[purpod]

Just think of what that freak would do if he got a hold of a child? Creepy stuff!!

And thanx for the note, Jen ~ yeah, I'd imagine he is not the sasme tort as he was before his torture ~ poor guy!

From reading all the posts, I can't look at the article. However, from what everyone is saying, burning in hell doesn't seem like it would be justice.
