Animal cruelty video sparks Iowa probe.

[RebelOne]

FORT DODGE, Iowa - Authorities are investigating a video sent to a humor Web site that shows opossums being doused with lighter fluid and set afire as youths laugh "hysterically" in the background.

Josh Colvin, cruelty intervention coordinator for the Animal Rescue League of Iowa, called the video "the worst animal torture I've ever seen."

"It shows the possums walking around, clearly just engulfed with flames," Colvin said. "They do this to two possums while laughing hysterically in the background."

1. It's a good thing...

justice isn't left to me, in cases like this. :mad:

Let's see how those guys like being doused in a little lighter fluid.....

Sick fucks like this need to be in jail, otherwise they may make it to the White House.

2. Speaking of setting animals on fire...

I was just reading this on the Earth Save website about cattle ranching:

The government protects the cattle by killing off any creature that might threaten the livestock. They poison, trap, snare, den, shoot or gun down the wildlife. Denning, by the way, is the practice by federal agents of pouring kerosene into the dens of animals and setting them on fire, burning the young animals alive in their nests. According to Robbins, agents kill badgers, black bear, bobcats, coyotes, gray fox, red fox, mountain lions, opossums, raccoons, skunks, beavers, porcupines, prairie dogs, blackbirds, cattle egrets and starlings using these methods. These activities take place on public lands, which were created in large part to protect the environment! Your tax dollars subsidize these activities.

Just when you think the government can't suck any worse.
