&lt;p&gt;Lets face it they (government) can not get their act together over child welfare or the elderly and vulnerable in general how do you expect them to get it together over animal welfare. And without guidance from the top (government which is all corrupt anyhow) the bottom of the ship will keep hitting the rocks showing out of the water let alone the hidden ones. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The problem is with the punishment they get, (or won&amp;#39;t as the case will be!!!!) They will probably get a slap on the wrist and that&amp;#39;s it. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope the R.S.P.C.A step up and prosecute these idiots!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: animal stories in news today</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/76039?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 24 Mar 2010 12:33:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:ab0ccb88-cfac-4478-995d-a43ee2e64c81</guid><dc:creator>Sue Cox</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;[quote user=&amp;quot;emma sime&amp;quot;]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I agree, its sick!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If they can do that to a rabbit, what will they do to other people!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Was watching a tv prog the other night about a guy who was stalking and murdering women in the us. He started out torturing cats in an animal shelter he volunteered at - sicko!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[/quote]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;yeah thats a well known theory about people starting out by torturing animals then move onto kids, then adults. Its a power complex thing. (did psych degree before vet nursing &lt;img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/new/Winking_smiley.gif" alt="Wink" /&gt;) Police are probably trained to know this but it seems goverment aren&amp;#39;t as punishment for these horrible crimes is minimal! really gets my back up!!&lt;img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/new/Angry_smiley.png" alt="Angry" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I didn&amp;#39;t buy it (the paper), but am glad it was front page! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Did they name the girl? I thought so in my quick scan, but not sure. Tho&amp;#39; people ususally get named for crimes, so hope she did too!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: animal stories in news today</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/75973?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 23 Mar 2010 22:38:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:115eaae6-0d93-4c45-9c1f-3788a28aec33</guid><dc:creator>chanel clydesdale</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I read about the rabbit one on the brc forum the other day and i was disgusted, its so sad that animal welfare still isnt being managed and monitored properly. In the past year my practice has seen a dog stabbed by its owner cos its was barking and &amp;#39;doing their head in&amp;#39; and a dog that was starbved to almost death cos she split with her boyfriend and it was his dog. Th first person got no charges and their dog back and the socond person also got away with nothing. How can this happen whilst these animals suffer?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: animal stories in news today</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/75972?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 23 Mar 2010 22:34:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:885f0a8a-9d08-4e4e-a0bc-66c240ce30df</guid><dc:creator>Kerry Spain</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Why arn&amp;#39;t these idiots exterminated???&amp;nbsp; Setting fire to a living creature??
