Family’s Dog Set Afire; ‘It Was A Ball Of Fire With Legs’
A 1-year-old bulldog is fighting for his life after investigators said someone doused him with an accelerant, causing third-and fourth-degree burns to his face and mouth.
“They extend throughout the dog’s entire left side. At this juncture, we’re trying to see if we can save his left eye,” said a representative for the Atlanta Humane Society.

“I don’t care how he looks like, he’s still my puppy…that’s it. I love my dog,” said Padilla.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Fulton County DA’s office animal using at 404-499-4314.
Dogs are not people, and as a consequence cruelty to dogs is not legally equivalent to cruelty to people. But intentional cruelty to animals is often a first step on the road towards cruelty to humans, and it’s certainly a sign that Someone Ain’t Right. Whether this was done by some dumbass kid(s) or by a vindictive neighbor/dog hater or by some random psychopath, those responsible really do need to be removed from civilized society. Lock them away, put a bullet to ’em, ship them somewhere uncivilized like Afghanistan or Detroit… they need to be simply taken away.
