MAXIMUS WAS A 2 YEAR OLD PIT BULL MIX DOG. AS THISSITE WAS BEING MADE IT WAS REPORTED THAT A SUSPECT HAS BEENCHARGED, HIS OWNER. MAXIMUS WAS CHAINED TO A TREE, TORTURED,AND THEN HAD GASOLINE POURED ON HIM AND HE WAS SET ONFIRE...LEFT TO DIE. UNFORTUNATELY, HE DID. HE WASN'T JUST KILLED, HE SUFFERED EXTENSIVELY. UPTO 60% OF HIS BODY WAS BURNED. HE GOT INJECTIONS, BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS, AND HE UNDERWENT NUMEROUSSURGERIES.
THIS DOG, EVEN AFTER BEING TORTURED BY A HUMAN BEING, STILLWAS TRUSTING ENOUGH TO LICK THE HANDS OFTHE VETS HELPING HIM. AFTER MUCH WORK WAS DONE AND IT WASGETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO SAVE HIM, HE WAS PUT INTO ADRUG INDUCED COMA AND LATER DIED FROM HIS WOUNDS. THIS CRIMETOOK PLACE IN SUFFOLK COUNTY, IN THE TOWN OF BRENTWOOD, NY ON JULY 12TH. MAXIMUS DIED ON JULY 17TH AFTER A LONG STRUGGLE. IN THE WORDS OF A VET WHO WAS TREATING HIM "HE WAS LOVING UP UNTIL THE VERY END"THIS IS MUCH BIGGER THAN JUST A CASE OF ANIMAL ABUSE. AS WAS MENTIONED IN OTHER NEWS ARTICLES AS WELL AS CASE STUDIES THAT HAVE BEEN DONE...MOST SERIAL KILLERS AND VIOLENT CRIMINALS START OFF WITH TORTURING AND KILLING ANIMALS. THERE NEEDS TO BE TOUGHER ANIMAL CRUELTY LAWS. NOT ONLY TO PROTECT ANIMALS, BUT ALSO TO PROTECT US. SOMEONE THAT WOULD TORTURE ANOTHER LIVING CREATURE BY BURNING IT ALIVE WHILE CHAINED TO A TREE IS NOT SOMEONE YOU WANT SHARING THE SAME SIDEWALK AS YOU...TO BE HONEST YOU DON'T WANT THEM SHARING THE SAME ANYTHING WITH YOU!IT CANNOT END WITH THIS...WE NEED TOUGHERLEGISLATION AND LAWS THAT WILL LENGTHEN THE SENTENCES OR AT THE VERY LEAST RAISE THE FINE FOR ANIMAL ABUSE / MURDER...MAINLY BECAUSE , THERE'S A POSSIBILITY AFTER THESE PEOPLE AREDONE WITH ANIMALS, THEY'LL EVENTUALLY BE LOOKING FOR BIGGERCREATURES TO HURT...US! DOGS ARE A MANS BEST FRIEND, SOLET'S RETURN THE FAVOR...SPREAD THE WORD OF THIS DISGUSTINGACT AND LET'S TRY TO MAKE SOME NOISE ABOUT IT. I AM IN THEPROCESS OF CONTACTING VARIOUS MEDIA OUTLETS AND WILL BECONTACTING POLITICIANS AS WELL TO TRY AND GET SOME ACTIONTAKEN. IF YOU HAVE IDEAS OR SUGGESTIONS FEEL FREE...OPRAHWINFREY , SEAN HANNITY & BILL O'REILLY OF FOX NEWS, AND KEITH OLBERMANN OF MSNBC NEWS HAVE BEEN SENT EMAILS EXPLAINING THE SITUATION. SO FAR NO REPLIES BUT THERE WILL BE UPDATES. IF THIS TRAGEDY CAN AT LEAST STIR UP SOME DISCUSSION IN LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND IN THE RIGHT CIRCLES, MAYBE SOME LAWS WILL BE CHANGED OR SOME NEW ONES ADDED. THE TIME IS RIGHT...CONSIDERING THAT THE MICHAEL VICK DOG FIGHTING SCANDAL IS CURRENTLY GOING ON, IT MAY BECOME A HOT TOPIC.http://wcbstv.com/watercooler/local_story_205090214.ht
