This poem was made by me, yet it could happen,
My owner treats me badly
My name is Bradley,
I am a dog
My owners treat me like some sort of log,
They don't have a feeling for me,
They slap me if I pee,
Because this happens with many animals,
So, please, stop all the madness,
And stop our eyes filling with sadness.
If you want to copy and paste it you may-
My owner treats me badly
My name is Bradley,
I am a dog
My owners treat me like some sort of log,
They don't have a feeling for me,
They slap me if I pee,
Because this happens with many animals,
So, please, stop all the madness,
And stop our eyes filling with sadness.

He, and the group of people with him, found this cruel action amusing, apparently "meowing" as the 7-week-old kitten was slowly cooking alive. The man, as of writing, was charged with felony animal abuse and was in jail on $10,000 bond. The crime is punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. But chances are this man, 24-year-old Charles C. Benoit, will get far less as punishment.

A brave woman, Sherry Scott, put herself in harm's way to save the kitten from the grill. Unfortunately, the kitten's injuries were so severe, she had to be put to sleep. As sad as this story is, it is just one of many animal abuse cases. Too many of these cases are treated lightly in court and the true severity is overlooked by a media that often only cares about the "cute factor" of animals on TV.

"Our judicial system reflects a dinosaur-age mentality, and severe punishment is often not proposed by prosecutors, or considered by judges at sentencing. We chalk that up to ignorance, largely, as these officials, in many cases, don't seem to be aware of animal cruelty's grim implications," says Martin Mersereau, cruelty caseworker with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
