Do you know how many animals/pets are abused and destroyed every year? Let's not even begin to talk about where we get our food. Comments about animals getting better treatment is extremely misguided. I hope Kate gets all the care and attention in the world.

Amen to the poster above who said this offender is working their way up to a person, likely a child because they're more defenseless. Stop bitching about relative sympathies and help catch this bastard.

I used to feel the same way, that animals get more sympathy and why not extend that to people... but now I see differently. For one, animals have no voice, and if we do not protect them and act as responsible stewards they are totally defenseless. Secondly, there is (or should be) more than enough love for animals and people. Why have to choose?

Sorry, that was supposed to be "It's a living BEING."

Seriously, tho, this story makes me cry. And who gives a shit if people comment and give donations in the name of an animal? What is wrong with you? Who ever said that humans were better than animals anyway? Who made this rule? We're one of the sickest, most selfish species out there. How many other animals do you know that kill their own kind? Ugh, this whole animal life is lesser than human life debate drives me insane. It's a living. Treat it with respect. I'm getting myself worked up.

humans ARE animals. i'd guess that a human found sodomized by dogs in a pool of his own blood would probably get more sympathy than this.

Well everyone knows its because a person who does this will likely do this to a person too. Do you want this done to your daughter, too? Yuck. I hope they catch this guy.

Another thing to note about Kate: According to the vet that treated her, if she was brought in a 1/2 hour later, she would have died.

It is amazing that animals get more sympathy and donations than humans. and comments, too.

That's simply not true that animals get more charitable donations than humans. I personally donate money, time, and in-kind items to numerous worthy causes, including organizations that help people and animals. The people come first, but abused or homeless animals need our help too. In fact many issues that affect animals have an impact on humans as well. Someone who abuses an animal is also more likely to abuse another human being. Animal abuse should be discouraged, and monetary donations to support that are supporting the discouragement of abuse against humans as well.

Sick Fucks. I hope they get the same treatment in pound-me-in-the-ass prison once they get caught.
