Another sad case of cruelty to cute animals

An Oklahoma couple is accused of killing a puppy then skinning it to make a belt. (I don't think they finished it so they were unable to sport the belt) A local deputy expressed his outrage thusly:

"We're talking about a seven-week-old puppy, defenseless, seven-week-old puppy that can't fight for itself," says Muskogee County Sheriff's Deputy George Roberson.

As the deputy knows, animal hides should come from animals that are killed in a fair fight, much in the same way as the cows his belt and shoes came from were killed.

The worst part of the story? It appears that the rest of the puppy was thrown away, wasting valuable natural resources.

The local sherrifs office want's to make it clear that it has zero tolerance for such savagery:

"If you go out and kill a dog, skin him, dog dumping, any kind of animal cruelty case, it will be investigated to the fullest we find out you done it we're going to put you in jail."

Veal mongers beware, the Muskogee sherrif's office is watching you.
