Regarding your article about the puppy Susie, who was beaten, set on fire and left for dead:

As a veterinary nurse and former cruelty and humane law-enforcement officer, I have seen all forms of abuse, some even worse than this. It is only by divine intervention that this precious puppy survived.

The person who did this to her needs to be punished. If justice were truly fair, he would suffer the same abuse: be beaten, have his jaw fractured, and be set on fire and left outside with maggots crawling on him. But obviously that will not happen.
We must take a stand for all the animals in the world to stop this kind of abuse and to set an example to others that “we don’t play that” and that the consequences will be harsh.

Whoever the judge is who hears this case, let’s hope he or she will take a stand and make an example of this disquieting creature. This is a story your paper should follow to the end and get folks stirred up about.

If we need to sign petitions, make calls, whatever,  the time is right to take a stand and make a point that this cruel abuse needs to stop now.

Please don’t let this fade away. The next time it could be a child.
