Is this legal?

[paisjpq]

I am far from naive about how cruel people can be but this kind of thing still shocks me each time a new example comes forward...I am absolutely physically ill right now from those images and words.

I guess I have been spoiled by the quality of the humane society facility near me...it's harder to qualify to adopt one of those animals than it is to baord an airplane these days...I donate to them regularly both in cash and in 'wish list' items and urge everyone else to do the same for your local shelter.

From my local shelter...during the be kind to animals week.
