Did anyone see the animal torture on 'Medium' last night?
I have otherwise liked that show,
but the scene last night with the
poor dog, chained up in the garage,
getting burned by the sadist's cigarette
was too much!

Yeah,yeah, I know it's television, BUT

It was totally unnecessary to show that graphic abuse
of a poor animal. I can't get that scene out of my head.

If you saw it and agree, here's where to write and let
them know about it. No animal torture, please!!

( select show- Medium)

1. It was very shocking.
But the truth is that people who abuse people often started with animals. It did bother me, but there was a local story which was sadly true which bothered me much more this week :(

2. It was definitely shocking to see, but as the poster above said,
many serial killers start out by abusing and torturing animals.

4. That was good!
We never did find out what happened to her, though.
Hopefully, she pulled through and lived.

I think Bridget needs a dog in her family.

It's true many serial killers do start out by abusing
and killing animals. There is a connection.

What I find soo creepy and repulsive is the way he
talked to dog, softly, like he was not going
to hurt her. The innocence and trust of animals is
a large part of why this was upsetting. Not to mention
she was chained and tortured.

Hopefully, they won't air another scene like this.
