Northeast Philadelphia man, John William Fleet III. Charged with animal cruelty for allegedly pouring rubbing alcohol over a puppy and setting it on fire. The 5-month-old pit bull mix was burned. Its neck, ears, whiskers were burned off, and one of its corneas was seared. The animal also had been burned repeatedly with a cigarette. It may be disfigured, and possibly blind in one eye.
Here is the addition I wrote:
"As PA's population shrinks, state revenues are increasingly dependent on sources of income like tourism. Going soft on animal abusers in a city's whose reputation is already besmirched by the employment of convicted animal abuser Michael Vick, not to mention a state known as the Puppy Mill Capital of the East? Is this the image of Philadelphia and of PA you want to present? The actions you undertake or fail to undertake will strengthen or weaken the accuracy of this image."
Hey, wonder why people are leaving this coal-burning dump?

Right on the mark. PA is on it's way tobecoming knownas a safe haven for animal abusers. Between the puppy mills, Vick,and being soft on animal abusers I dn think we'll have much competition. Hopefully this will be one case where the animal wins.
