		<description>How in the heck can a vet find a bruise when it is covered with freaking fur? I know how hard it is to find cuts in fur when my dogs get hurt so bruises would be even harder. The neighbors need to get a camera and take pictures of this idiot.
Signed the petition. This really makes my blood boil when the stupid cop says it is not his job? UGH!</description>

		<description>I signed the petition. Why do the police keep enabling the owners abusive behavior and prolonging Buckshot's suffering and possible death!!!!????? Someone local go in and steal this dog. The owner obviously does'nt care about him. He won't look too far. Seems some locals could possibly take him over state lines and just relocate the dog where he is safe and then be adopted to a loving and forever home. Buckshot is a really pretty dog!</description>

		<description>Would AC rescue the animal if a neighbour took a picture of the owner hitting the dog with a belt and tossing it over the fence? Is his confession not sufficient, or the reports by the neighbours? This is ridiculous.

We had a similar situation here in Toronto, where a guy was beating his Dalmatian pups. There was an eyewitness. Our humane society seized the pups, but was overridden by a provincial agency that claimed there were no bruises therefore no abuse. In the end, the humane society appealed and won. The pups have been adopted to a new home.</description>

		<description>Why doesn't one of the neighbors grab a camera and photograph the abuse while it's happening ?!?!?!  There's your evidence.</description>

		<description>sure beat the poor dog and no one can do anything but let your rescue cat ' 'roam' or allow an 11 year old near a lap dog and it's immediately removed from your ownership...

		<description>If someone beats a child  - it is considerd abuse.
If someone beats a person - it is considered an assault.
If someone beat an animal - it can be abuse or assault.  Shouldn't the animal be rescued and the person who did the beating punished?

But stopping abuse takes more than laws, it takes educating people.  Let's hope that the Nationwide Campaign will open the eyes of the public and be one more solution for animals who have suffered from bad owners or bad neighbors.</description>

		<description>I think there are ways to beat up someone without leaving any bruises. 
A confession of abuse is not enough to put someone in jail? Something is amiss here.</description>
