In any way, offending, is absolutely unacceptable, and harming a living being is inhumane behaviour. However, the immorality of people who offend other ways of living than people does not affect all people very much.
Authorities in Willison, Florida recently witnessed a grim case of animal cruelty. In the square, the police heard what sounded like a scream and immediately began to search for the source. When they found out where he came from, they started digging and what they unearthed was a puppy buried in a huge mound of dirt.
The pup was left there to die alive, but luckily escaped from what little oxygen he had until rescuers showed up.
After taking him to the vet, they discovered that he was only a week old. Fortunately, they were able to help him: they named him Tucker, fed him, loved him into old age, and eventually the clerk fell in love with him so much that he took him home. He now has a house where he lives a happy life.
