saw a BBC documentry last night about the rising trend of status dogs in the UK, the sinister motives and the rising cruelty that goes with it. One pup had been mutilated and had in the region of 50 cigarette burns over it's body.

It is a depressing reflection of society. As ghandi once said 'a nation's greatness can be judged by how they treat their animals'. The problem isn't so much the acts of cruelty but the short falls of modern living which breeds these kinds scum. Unfortunately there are far too many cowards and thick people walking the streets these days.

I'll stop there before I launch into a full blown taxi driver style rant.
