Justice for Puppy Thrown Into Burning Fire Pit

Target: Scott Kolody, Commanding Officer of the Manitoba RCMP

Goal: Find and punish children accused of throwing a dog into a fire.

Police are looking for the people responsible for throwing a dog into a fire pit, causing severe burns. According to Katie Powell, founder of Save a Dog Network Canada, a group of children took the dog, an 8-month-old puppy named Polo, and threw him into a fire pit in Red Sucker Lake First Nation, Manitoba. She went on to say that Polo “came home with smoke bubbling from his nose. He had second degree burns on anything that wasn’t covered in fur.”

The poor dog had patches of fur missing as well as some blisters. Some of the dog’s fur melted into his skin, causing lesions. His nose, paws, mouth, and other areas were raw and severely damaged, and his eyes were left with ulcers from smoke damage. Investigators say that the pup’s fur saved his life — if he had a shorter coat, he would have died.

Fortunately, he survived the ordeal and is now recovering at the Tuxedo Animal Hospital in Winnipeg, Manitoba. RCMP are currently investigating, but have not made any arrests. Rights group PETA is offering a $5,000 reward to anyone who comes forward with information leading to the arrest and conviction of the people responsible.

This act was blatantly cruel and could have resulted in the death of this innocent animal. Because of this cruelty, Polo will suffer for a long time, and may have lifelong disabilities. Sign the petition below to demand that the people responsible for this horrendous act are punished to the fullest extent of the law.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Mr. Kolody,

A dog was recently thrown into a fire pit, allegedly by a group of children. The dog suffered severe burns to his entire body, particularly his eyes, nose, mouth, paws, and testicles. Investigators say that he would have died if he had a short coat — his fur protected him from a lot of damage but also melted into his skin, causing lesions.

This horrendous act caused extreme suffering to an innocent animal, and could even result in disability or chronic pain for the rest of Polo’s life. We, the undersigned, ask that you work hard to find and punish the people responsible for this heartless act of cruelty.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]

    Here you have your NEXT SERIAL KILLERS IN TRAINING. Look at world research Monsters like this start with animals and move on to small children.
    Check it out the majority of serial killers start this way. Most Famous ones.
    To the perpetrators and enablers your worst nightmares are about to come true. You never will be safe we will get you when you least expect it. When the lights are out. Satan is waiting for your blood where you will burn in a sea of fire, receive no mercy and your pain will be constant.

    • Yes Denise, I agree with you my friend. These monsters are the next serial killers. We need to find them and give them hell!!! I don’t care if they are children. They need to be badly punished!!!

    • This has been proven. Please do something to catch those kids. They are all Ready on the path to evil violence.

    What little psychopaths!!!!! Don’t let their ages distract you from the fact that children who hurt animals go on to hurt humans. Go read up on almost ALL serial killers, they all began with hurting animals. These children will do anything and say anything to get out of trouble but do not make the mistake of thinking that they have any normal brain functions. They are extremely bright and know what is required to “get off”-they will pretend to be sorry. But research shows that they have no empathy and no empathy is the basis for all cruelty. I would suggest a psychological evaluation over a long period of time because they can even manipulate psychologists.

    There must be severe consequences for ALL of the children involved in this heinous act! Force each child to hold a finger into a flame, so they have some concept of the pain they inflicted on this poor puppy! DO NOT LET THIS ACT GO BY WITHOUT SEVERE PUNISHMENT – AND I MEAN SEVERE!!!

  4. Spiteful Children Shouldn’t Be allowed To Be Near Animals And I Hope They Find The Child & To Teach It A Lesson On How Not To Treat Animals Of Any Kind

    Scott – When will the world realize that the Animal Kingdom are citizens of this Earth, too? They have just as much a right as we do to live their lives on this planet, free from torture and murder at the hands of humans. The ‘kids’ responsible for this barbaric act need to be taught a lesson. It saddens me that children would treat any living thing this way. Makes you wonder what they are being taught at home…

  6. Margaret Melnick says:

    What needs to happen is The young Offenders Act needs to be scrapped. Kids and parents are hiding behind the fact the kids identity will be hidden from the public. This must be changed. Any kid regardless of age who commits a cruel sadistic act should have their name published and taken from the parents. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH HOW MANY ANIMALS AND HUMANS MUST SUFFER BEFORE THE GOVERNMENT CHANGES THAT RIDICULES ACT?

  7. SIGNED TO END CRUELTIES OF INNOCENT HELPLESS Defenseless AND VOICELESS CREATURES FROM GOD AND STOP Being INHUMANE And SELFISHNESS SAVE AND RESPECT LIVES CREATURES FROM GOD. THIS Brutality AND INHUMANE EVIL IS DANGEROUS IN WORLD SOCIETY THIS SHOULD BE STOP AND PUNISHMENT IN PRISONMENT FOR LONG PERIODS OF YEARS. SIGNED TO ACTION NOW FOR ANIMALS RIGHTS!

  8. Children who engage in such violent, horrific behavior toward animals will continue down that road, and it will escalate to bullying, abuse, and torture of children, even adults. Eventually murder. Serial killers in training, that’s exactly what they are! STOP THEM NOW. This heinous act has earned them stiff sentences. When looking for these kids, interview teachers. Also, be aware that children who do these violent, chilling things come from abusive, troubled homes. The animals and humans living in your community don’t deserve to fear for their lives. This sweet, innocent puppy is just the beginning of a lifetime of Hell for everyone unless you stop it now!

  9. WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!!!

  10. Pamela Chattergoon says:

    Problem is we don’t punish adults and they teach there kids its ok to hurt animals. Hopefully these kids will fall into a fire pit

  11. As long as humans walk the earth, I’ll believe in MONSTERS. Only humans are so cruel to other animals and each other. How on earth can a genuine human being be cruel to another living, breathing creature?

    Those kids are serial killers in the making.

    • Absolutely.

    • S Writes says:

      Agreed

    • Couldn’t agree more. That is the saddest and sweetest face I’ve ever seen. Poor angel probably just wanted to play with the monsters and give them love and was shown only cruelty. He almost looks confused like I don’t understand why they would be so mean to me. Breaks my heart I hope karma gets those sob’s I truly pray it does

      • I agree! But I do hope someone finds those brats and makes them pay for what they did. They are monsters!

  12. Children or not they must be caught and severely punished They need to learn a very harsh lesson that this is severe animal abuse and cruelty and it will NOT be tolerated They must also be banned from owning any animal for life What Polo suffered is beyond belief so anyone out there who knows <ho these children, you must do the right thing and report them

    • S Writes says:

      Kids capable of doing such a despicable thing are scary. They help understanding the consequences of their actions. I just hope they get it.

  13. Catherine Dugan says:

    Words can not express how angry I am at these children! These children need to be held responsible for this terrible crime! And they’re parents’ need to be told what they have done!
    Hurt/kill an animal, go to jail!!

  14. those children are on a dark path. Age is not an excuse. Sadism at a young age is usually a sign of being a psychopath. Here is story from my childhood about a kid who thought it was funny to cook frogs in microwaves. He got cancer at 15 and could feel microwaves going through him when his parents ran the oven at home. When he was dying he said demons in the forms of animals like ravening wolves were sitting in his hospital room leerimg at him and told him they were waiting for him to die. He was so horrified that he died on his feet trying to fight for his life.

    People kid themselves if they think crimes committed against animals are freebies. There are stark consequences in a place called hell. Sadism is a quick trip there at any age.

  15. Young Ass Holes!!! FIND THEM!!!

  16. I HOPE THOSE YOUNG EVIL MONSTERS WILL BURN IN THE DEEPEST HELL!!!

  17. Those brats need to be caught and thrown into a firepit themselves to find out what it feels like! Then they might thibk rwice before inflicting such horrendous torture on a helpless puppy!

    • Sorry for the typos. Reading about things like that just makes me furious. We need much stiffer laws regarding animal abuse and cruelty – and leniency should not be given due to age! The little monsters, who tortured and attempted to kill that poor puppy are serial killers in the making!

  18. Jennifer says:

    These children need to be taught a serious lesson. Let them feel what that poor dog felt. I couldn’t care less that they are children, how old are they? Old enough to know better. The parents are probably even worse. Behavior is 99.999% learned.

  19. Heather Killoh says:

    These children must be punished, they must be made to realise that ill-treatment of animals is unforgivable. The parents should be punished.

  20. John Shepard says:

    These “children” need to be placed into a mental facility and not released for YEARS!!!! There is NO excuse for what they have done.
    Their parents should also be forced to pay for all of Polo’s vet bills and make a VERY generous donation to an animal rescue!!!
