Last time I checked, dogs aren't on the menu.

If you horribly killed all my friends and family, I would not be morally entitled to any revenge.

If such a thing happened, I might think I was entitled, but I'd be wrong.

The act of decapitating a pet and then presenting it as a gift is an action deliberately designed to cause severe emotional trauma, it is not acceptable under any circumstances. If you disagree you need to seriously take a long hard look at yourself.

Justice good, revenge bad. Simple, really.

but I don't see why people are so emotionally reactionary about the death of an animal.

If you want to open your own practice for psychotherapy someday, I'd think you'd already know the answer.

Because people become very attached to pets. They are friends who will never let loose the secrets you tell them,

Let me say this. Although on some level I feel for the dog, every 2.43 seconds a human dies from starvation. Considering that we all don't give a **** about that, I think it is foolish for people to come at an issue such as this as if we have a solid unquestionable moral system in place.

We can't as easily relate to starvation because of where we live.

Unless I'm misunderstanding you -- by your logic, rather than acpturing and prosecuting serial killers, murderers, rapists and other violent felons, we should let them run rampant and utilize the resources saved to combat starvation -- because more lives would be saved?

That's nice and all, but that wouldn't stop anyone from debating the morality subjects behind this case. Plus, this could be a microcosm of bigger issues.

Let's also remember that dogs are smart enough to go find their own food and not wait for some corrupt humanitarian organization or warlord to come feed them.

ST. PAUL, Minnesota (AP) -- A 24-year-old man has been arrested, suspected of cutting the head off of a 17-year-old girl's pet dog and leaving it at her front door in a gift-wrapped box.

The man, who is expected to be arraigned Friday, was being held on suspicion of terrorist threats. Police said he may be charged with animal cruelty.

"I think I can sleep a lot better now," said Crystal Brown. "It will make me feel way safer. Now we can walk around the whole block."

Crystal was devastated last month when Chevy, her 4-year-old Australian shepherd mix, went missing.

Two weeks after the dog disappeared, a gift box addressed to Crystal was found at the front door of a house she shares with her grandmother.

Inside, Crystal found Valentine's Day candy and a garbage bag containing her pet's head.

Police said the man they arrested lived a few blocks from Crystal and may have had a romantic interest in the girl.

The case drew widespread media attention. The television show "America's Most Wanted" posted the case on its Web site, and donations pushed a $2,500 reward offered by the Humane Society of the United States to $20,000.

MN Man Charged In Dog Beheading
A St. Paul man has been charged with animal cruelty and torture for allegedly beheading a dog.

Anthony Gomez is accused of leaving the dog's head in a gift-wrapped box on the doorstep of the dog's 17-year-old owner, Crystal Brown.

The girl's grandmother says Gomez and Brown once dated, and that he became jealous when she began dating someone else.

The dog disappeared last month. The package arrived two weeks later, containing Valentine's Day candy and the dog's head.

The complaint says Gomez's cell phone contained video clips of a dog having its head cut off by a chain saw. The complaint alleges Gomez admitted it happened in his basement, but claimed others decapitated the dog and sent the head to Brown.

His bail is set at 25-thousand dollars.

You mean he really was just a jealous, insane *******? She isn't an evil, murdering *****? Amazing!

This simply reinforces my point that this isn't some random whacko.

I never said she did. I said there was a very small chance she might have.

Why is this thread still on the main page

It's kind of obvious that it was an ex boyfriend.

I want to know if the dog was alive when he chainsawed it. I hate crappy news reporting.
