"Animal
control officers are investigating the death of an adult
male pit bull found Sunday morning chained to a tree, half
outside his dog house, authorities said. Throughout the
weekend, as snow blanketed the county, temperatures remained
well below freezing, with gusting winds making it feel more
like subzero conditions outside. 'Although a determination
of cause of death will be made during a necropsy tomorrow,
with the extreme cold, our suspicion is that the dog died
as a result of being outside in this weather,'Animal Control
Director Harold Domer said Sunday..." (True story,
Frederick Maryland, January 2005.)
The
Ladies Prefer Series was inspired
by a ladies' tea party. I'm constantly
amazed by the contrast of beautiful items and ugly, behind
the scenes cruelty that we pretend isn't going on. The horrendous
death
of a dog due to the neglect and cruelty of chaining astounds
me.
That it's legal astounds and saddens me even further.
