Seeing or hearing about a dog that has been hurt or killed upsets me.
I am a big animal lover and could never hurt an animal myself.

For this dog to be killed was an act of cruelty and is to me, murder.
Some people believed that it was killed because of rivalry withing the competition.
Why and how somebody could do this is just disturbing and you have to have a sick, twisted mind.
If they find this person, a good beating would be well deserved and I think the sentence for killing an animal should be the same has killing a human.

It,s all about the money, the winning dog make,s a fortune for adds and stud fee,s. A winning dog can net the owner somewhere between 50000 - 100000 and in people,s eye,s that,s worth killing for. Remember people have been killed for a lot less.
Sad part about this story is they killed the wrong dog, was his half brother they were after

Now lets get a grip here people, while it was a despicable act to kill this dog it is not murder, murder can only be committed
against a human being not an animal.

Apart from all that, what do you think of the overall winner, a Scottie, much prefer the second placed meself,

By literal definition, you are absolutely correct, however people impose human qualities on an animal and therefore would regard this as equally malicious.

There does seem to be a lot of Facebook posts lately with naming and shaming those that have tortured animals. The other day, someone posted a photo of some chav that had cut off the ears and tail of someone's cat. Another douche bag had tried strangling a dog, sprayed it with hair spray and set it on fire! Fortunately, both animals survived, albeit heavily mutilated and maimed.

Murder my only be applicable to humans by definition, but it takes a special kind of twisted animal to do that to a creature. Of course, in this instance it would seem to be a killing to gain the upper hand in a competition rather than a 'sicko' killing, although in both instances, it shows little regard for life of a domesticated animal.
