The Cruelty Continues

I've been following a tragic story. A dog, dubbed Phoenix by her rescuers, died of her injuries. Last week, in Baltimore, the pit bull had been doused with gasoline and set on fire. A police officer happened to see the ball of fire and threw her sweater on the burning dog. A crew of healthcare professionals stepped in to save Phoenix, but in the end, her injuries were far to severe. The question remains, WHY would anyone treat any living creature so horribly.

I cannot imagine the suffering Phoenix endured. I cannot imagine the hatred someone would harbor that would cause them to act so violently.
