His owners, Frank Manuma and Debbie Weil-Manuma, never had children. Debbie never even had a pet dog before. She said Caddy was their little boy.

On Sunday, Caddy was taken from them, and they know he's never coming back. They said police told them two men confessed to stealing the dog and one said the dog was slaughtered and eaten. They said that was confirmed by a third person who told police the dog was taken to his house, where it was slaughtered.

"The horrific part is knowing how he died," Weil-Manuma said, "I hope he didn't suffer. It's still kind of shocking."

She said that police told her the thieves dumped what was left of Caddy into a river when they discovered police were looking for them.

So help me, I had no idea we had a local chapter of the Michael Vick Fan Club. :grr:

R.I.P. Caddy (I will not even take a stab at captioning this...)

[Critters2]

2. This really saddens me. I can't imagine how I'd feel

if someone did this to the beagle. I'd go from murderously angry to steeped in despair and back again. Those poor people!


I also think about the hundreds of thousands of animals who die this way every day. Their deaths are tragic, too.

7. There are more socially acceptable ways to satisfy a hot dog craving

This was not one of them. What a bunch of cruel, cruel people.

13. and they'll go to prison for how long?

These people ought to be locked up for a very very long time - I mean many years, if not decades - anyone who had a hand in it. This makes me so fucking angry...... part of me being so angry is that I know this won't be taken as seriously by law enforcement and prosecutors as it should. I've never gotten into a physical conflict in by adult life, but I do know that if anyone ever tried to hurt my dog they'd get a beating like they couldn't imagine.
