Very ugly, Ed. I like you're bringing Christianity into it. I always felt like the so-called Christian who abuses animals is only a very short step from doing it to humans...some mean people out there......Jerry

Sad, so sad. So many homeless dogs and people. In hurrican Katrina, pet owners were forced to leave their pets behind in order to be allowed onto a boat or helicopter. So many of them tried to find their pets afterwards. So sad on both sides. Excellent. Liz

PEEWEE -

May the fleas of a thousand camels FEAST on all those heartless bastards that abandon God's innocent creatures.

Peace - Tom.

there are just no words sometimes to express the inhumanity of man

Ed, this is so heartbreaking.

darn this sickens me...and HOW could one walk on by...there is not an answer that could justify...soooooooooooo SAD

The RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) would go ballistic and it would be treated as a serious crime.

Maybe Dog owners should need a license for each pet. And be vetted for suitability.

How horrific, this poor little baby has suffered beyond years, experiencing the cruely of mankind. Thank God there are still some who care and I pray this one and others will survive and find love...

Be always safe,
Karen

Simply criminal. Maybe when they start to cuff these A-holes our furry friends will stand a chance. Patrick

I used to live next door to a rental that had a constant turnover of tenants. Inevitably when they left, their "pets" were left behind. Why do people get animals in the first place? Impulse? The trendy thing? Oh I'm just disgusted at the heartlessness of humanity! You have such a big heart, Ed. I feel your heartache...

I have a Yorkshire Terrier, (Sparky), and a wee mongrel, (Kizzy). I can't understand how these people-no that's wrong, not people, that's only paying them a compliment. SCUM, that's it. Low life scum who laugh at the law. More stringent penalties needed i'm afraid. Good job that caring people like you are still about Ed.

Well done, Gerry

How many tears I have shed when my long time dog companion died of old age, that they can't help me to understand man's cruelty to a creature that only requires a little love.

Georg

Oh Ed, this is just so sad. There are so many people that should never, ever have a pet..I pray that this little yorkie finds a home with loving people.

You always touch my heart with your poems about animals.
Keep on doing what you do, you are an amazing man.

Much peace, love, and light,
Amber "V"

Poor little girl, how can people be so callous just putting here out, let alone all those that just passed her by probably on a daily basis...ed

This picture should be hang manyfold on the walls of congress, and in the Presidents office, along with all the others, to make way for hearts to wake up , that is give animals some solid rights, and inflict upon those that would perpetrate such acts with the full force of the law: laws that would demand that every critters owner could be identified, and punished accordingly. The most innocent and sweetest creatures in this life should be so treated, it makes me sick, again, and again, ad infinitum..... Jasmin Horst

An absolute tragedy, Ed. I think it's wonderful that you put this stuff out there....people need to see it, and hear about it. What is wrong with human beings?

Anna

This is so sad Ed, Fred and I have often taken in animals and made sure they had food, shelter and medications if needed. If a person will treat their pets like this, we can imagine how they treat their children.
