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]

Take the useless kids and throw them into a burning fire pit.
Will grow up to be even more useless grown ups who ill treat animals.
Yet another instance where animals are better than humans
Who is raising these kids?!
I wonder how many other innocent animals have suffered by these kids? I really really hope you catch these icky kids!!! None of them should ever be allowed to own an animal!!
GET THESE EVIL LITTLE BASTARDS AND THROW THEM INTO A BURNING FIRE PIT. CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT SORT OF ADULTS THESE KIDS WILL GROW INTO MASS MURDERS AND ANIMAL ABUSERS THATS WHAT. IT IS A GREAT PITY THAT YOU CANNOT HANG SCUM THAT TREAT ANIMALS LIKE THIS CHILDREN SHOULD BE TREATED THE SAME AS ADULTS RE PUNISHMENT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM GET THE DEATH SENTENCE NO DOUBT SOME DOGOODER WILL SAY THEY HAVE HAD A BAD UPBRINGING. OH PLEASE
You all need to find these little sociopathic creatures and deal with them. How dare they try to kill a live animal by burning it to death. What kind of humans are they? I can only imagine what’s coming next and I can pretty much guarantee this is not the first time they have tortured an animal.
The world really is in a sad state when “kids” commit these kinds of atrocities. What to do? Are the parents responsible? Were the perpetrators adults – simple justice would be to execute them – and be done with it. And of course we all know that wouldn’t happen. But kids – what is society to do??? Something has to happen – this crime cannot go unpunished. Some sort of justice is needed – but what???
Kids that do this now will do worse things as adults. Put them away for a long time!
AND PEOPLE STOOD AROUND WATCHING THIS MADNESS AND DID NOTHING. THESE ARE CHILD CRIMINALS AND SHOULD BE SHOWN NO MERCY, AS THE ACT THEY COMMITTED WAS A CRIME AND THE INNOCENT PUPPY WAS SHOWN NO MERCY OR COMPASSION.
kill all those kids.
How did the kids get this sweet baby in he first place…the kids are obviously ‘mutants’ and need a good beat down….and I think the owner is responsible also for not keeping track of the puppy….maybe a new home is needed….
Any piece of crap human who does this just needs to DIE! plain and Simple…
I don’t care what their ages are. Anyone who could do this to this sweet little puppy is sick and depraved. They need to be locked away from everyone and everything. Psychopathic little bastards.
I think who ever did this like you said regardless of their age should be tortured to death not even locked away they shouldn’t have the right to breathe, I hope and pray regardless of how old these bastards were that they die a slow death of leukemia or something very severe in front of their pathetic parents
Cruelty to any animal, let alone a helpless puppy, has no national boundaries. These kids knew exactly what they were doing and should be punished accordingly, irrespective of age. They are not innocents.
If they are indeed children there is a desperate need to find them and find out why this happened.
Remember Ian Brady, the Moors Murderer.
Who ever is Guilty have to pay and can pay for all vet expenses untill mppor dog is fully recover
Every effort should be made to find these sicko, monster “kids” who may not be so little! Regardless of age, they should be held accountable, locked up for at least years and parents made to cover vet expenses (they should raise kids to have compassion & caring for all creatures). These kids will likely commit further abuse if not caught and punished.
little monsters deserve being sent to China- the land of monsters.
CHILDREN DID THIS?! The little monsters will grow up to be a serious threat to everyone–big monsters, have no doubt! I would check out the parents too.
If any of these kids belonged to me, they wouldn’t be sitting down for a long time I can tell you that. Where are the parents of these little thugs? Obviously AWOL. Poor little puppy, providing a few laughs for a bunch of undisciplined brats who will most likely contribute nothing to this world.
Those horrible little pr**** need to be stripped down and thrown into the fire to burn. That poor baby did nothing to deserve what was done to him! I don’t understand what the He** these idiots were thinking! There’s a special place in Hell for kids like that.
I don’t care what their age is. Normal kids do NOT do this. These little bastards are sociopaths and are a huge danger to society. Lock them up, or better yet, kill these little fuckers to prevent them from growing up and continuing their evil acts and eventually attacking and killing humans. Future serial killers!!
