Remains of more than 500 animals found at Philadelphia home


www.cnn.com
Philadelphia SPCA enforcement officers were first called to the home over the weekend to tend to two emaciated dogs. The organization said that after obtaining a search warrant, its officers found the home littered with animal remains. The officers also found an AK-47, ammunition, dozens of knives and an altar with candles, the group said.

Philadelphia police were called after that, and Wednesday's search resulted.

The dogs were dirty and malnourished. They were put in protective custody

Philadelphia? Was that Vick's house by chance?

Funny, we were thinking and writing similar things at the same time! You put it very nicely.

I hate it whenever I read about any animal abuse. I make it a point not to view such news because it disturbs me deeply for days on end

Sorry, I think you misunderstood my comment about the child abuse. My fault, I didn't put it very well.

I wasn't saying that we should ignore animal abuse and concentrate on child abuse. I was merely pondering why it is that our society seems to get more....visceral....about animal abuse. I did not in any way mean to imply that animal abuse should be ignored or tolerated.

I, too, find it interesting that deliberately harming an animal is 'against the law', albiet ususally a misdemenor charge, unless it is done in the name of religion. Very disturbing....does anyone know the legalities of using animals in religious cerimonies?

Again, I hope this cleared up my intentions.

And the mad smiliey isn't mad enough, imo.

Animal and child abuse (on any level) is disgusting and unacceptible in a society that calls itself 'civilized'.

I was shocked to read that you say 'animal sacrifice' is legal ... are you sure of that ?

I cannot comprehend how that would be possible.

As stated in article:
Bengal said that the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that rituals of Santeria -- a religion similar to voodoo and originated in Cuba and Brazil -- are permitted under the Constitution. But he believes these animals may not have been sacrificed humanely. If that is the case, the home's owner could be prosecuted, he said.

"It's a gray area ... a fine line," Bengal said.


And yet Rastas can't smoke ganja.

People get de-sensitized to abuse such as this,it becomes "normal",
everyday behavior that is overlooked.Those,who perform such violent
acts,would probably sacrifice people,if they thought they could get
away with it.
The jews sacrificed animals to God for the remission of their sins.God
no longer wants animal sacrifices.He wants a broken spirit and a contrite
heart.

I was so shocked to read that animal sacrifice is legal here in the U.S.
I emailed the pastor of my church about this,it's unbelievable that it
is legal.

I agree with your statement about eating ... I personally think no animal should be killed other than for food or to prevent suffering.

No animal should be killed for sport and/or religion.

Having said that I tend to be a bit of a wuss in such matters, as I could not personally bring myself to kill another creature with my own hands ... however, I can skin, gut, pluck and prepare say a rabbit / duck etc for the pot once it is dead.
