Anyway, aren't we talking about dogs here? People euthanize animals all the time because they have illnesses that might be tended to if they were humans. These dogs may have had to be put down for all we know. The method is the issue, which I agree was pretty brutal.
If animals are sick or not going to be cared for properly so they become a danger, then I think you need to have them destroyed. You know, all these people offering rewards for her arrest would probably be better served if they instead raised money for animal shelters, speying and neutering and education for preventing cruelty to animals, because I can assure you that Bosnia does not have an SPCA in every little town like they do here. If we didn't have that here, you would see a lot more "nuissance" feral dogs running around, and as such, your attitude about them would probably be a lot different.

Well I don't think it was any of that. Its pretty clear what it was - a girl does something to dogs that most of us would do to other animals or bugs with glee, but because us as a society see dogs as friends, we are outraged. I'm not saying it right, but taking the emotion of a "dog is a man's best friend" ... it is what it is, and despite how highly we think of ourselves, we're only Mother Theresa to animals we like.
