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]

Seems some humans are not evolving at all. Should we return to the know law “eye for an eye”?
Those kids probably don´t know how much this dog was suffering, maybe if this kids know how much pain is to be burned alive is more than shure they will never do this again or any harm to any livign creature and their own kids for shure will be taught to not harm any animal too.
What I´m saying is… yes, inflict them a controled burn, an arm, a leg, something that made them feel a pain, of course not thrown them into a fire pit, just enough to KNOW how much pain can feel a living creature.
Probably their parents have a lot to do on how their childrens acts, but is late for them, this chain of disrespec for nature should be cut at some point. Their parents should be judged too anyway.
Maybe I´m going too far? well, maybe… but those kids how much more far they for shure will go?
The greatness of a nation(PERSON) can be judged by the way its animals are treated.

Sorry for my bad english.
Thanks.
I totally agree with you
Absolutely horrendous for this poor loving pup who’s done no harm to no one…these sik individuals need catching and dealing with…if they can do this what else are they capable off…there are sum sickos in this world…disgusting and totally disgraceful. ..that’s the polite version! !
Unless these sociopaths are found and punished severely they will do this again. Maybe next time to a smaller child. Stop ignoring animal abuse.
Rotten bastards need to be held accountable for this horrific act of cruelty. Most likely come from an uncaring , cruel family..children learn by example, so I guess you know we’re they came from.
HOW SICK DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO COMMIT THESE ATROCITIES? THERE IS NO END TO UP, THERE IS NO END TO DOWN. I pray this sweet dog makes it through this horror and will gradually learn to trust people again. Animals are wondrous at that. God bless this baby with a pain-free, loving existence for the rest of his life.
Why are these savages being referred to as Children? I can bet they are young adults not children. If they were children what kind of parents let CHILDREN around a fire unsupervised. Scarp the Young Offenders Act. Publish names and faces of these “so called Children” in all the papers and on TV. I can bet if everyone knew who they were the parents and young adults would act differently. Children actions would also be watched more closely by the parents. STOP THEM FROM HIDING BEHIND THEIR AGE. IF YOU ARE OLD ENOUGH TO DO THE CRIME YOU ARE OLD ENOUGH TO DO THE TIME.
those fuckin kids need to be burned in HELL!! That is sooooo wrong!! No justice for rotten people
It is so very dangerous that we are raising a generation of children who have no compassion for innocent animals. They do not care about the abuse, pain and torture they cause. It is because the parents have not given them morals. They must be found and punished severely or this will go on again. It is a shame that prison will be the teacher.
THOSE EV1L CH1LDREN SHOULD BE RETRO ABORTED/REVERSE THE1R PATHET1C L1TTLE MEAN1NGLESS L1VES 1N REVERSE! 1NTO THE1R MOMMA’S VAG1NA 1S WHAT! And THOSE BRATS SHOULD HAVE To GO 1N REVERSE 1N T1ME L1TERALLY And HAVE POLO THE DOG BE UNBURNED AS THOUGH POLO THE DOG NEVER GOT BURNED BY THESE SOULLESS L1TTLE BRATS! ALL Of L1FE SHOULD COME W1TH A REW1ND BUTTON FOR EVERYTH1NG!
I’m speechless. Why would anyone do something so horrible….
These little bastards will escalate their cruelty as they get older…..They need mental help and the parents need mental help too probably…..Brats need to be punished to the fullest extent…..They know they did wrong!!!!!
These individuals who did this horrific act are future inmates of our prison system. They deserve to be treated to a good dose of justice. They need to be punished to the fullest extent and not a slap on the hand.
This is attempted murder. What’s next?
No, they don’t need help, they don’t have any mental problem, what they need is to be burn the same way, so they can suffer like the puppy. Asholes
Quite agree. Throw these monsters into the same burning pit and as adults they will bear the same painful memories and scars they have inflicted on this
innocent and defenceless puppy.
Where are the parents of these little bastards??? It is a very sad day when little children start abusing animals at such an early age because this will lead to more horrors later on. Are the parents teaching these little monsters that it is ok to abuse animals?? If so, they are just as sick as the little devils they raised. At that point the parents need to be punished for teaching their children that abusing animals is the thing to do. These children are the devil’s spawn and justice for what they did to this innocent puppy is something they must be severely punished for regardless of age. I have no sympathy and no tolerance for this type of behavior.
Throw these cruel children into a burning fire pit repeatedly when they come out.
these children are very ill and should be punished for what they did to this poor defenseless puppie It is a puppy now, as they get older it probably will be a human. Punish these children –
Fucking little slimy cunts should be thrown into the fire themselves . I would have done it had I.been there. Nobody would have missed those mini-monsters.
What angers and disturbs me is that these assholes could grow up to be anothe generation of animal abusers.
Prayers for that puppy, I just don’t know how people can be so cruel. I hope they pay for what they did
Children did this cruel act??!! If this is what they do to animals as children then just emagine what they are going to be doing to humans when they are older!!!
They need found and punished to the fullest extent of the law NOW!!!!
Find them and just because they are children please, please do not go softly, softly on these children with Satanic minds – no one and nothing is safe with these coward brats around, prosecute their parents’ also. They must have lived very close by to this poor furbaby’s home????
