Thank you for your thoughts, Reggie. Despair yesterday for the waste of a wonderful companion and friend. Angry today for the blind eye.
These boys are not young children - they are young adults. This behaviour can not possibly be new. Torture of animals generally starts at a much younger age. There had to had to have been signals that something was wrong with these men. I do not understand how any close knit community, like Didsbury, could fail to see there was an issue here.
I work in another small community, and if someone sneezes on the corner at 2 in the afternoon, everyone knows about it by 3. Gossips and busybodies are the life-blood of a small town. Someone knew these men weren't playing with a full deck. It could have been prevented.
