Bestiality: Dog Sodomized, Tortured and Hanged
Duncan resident finds dog hanging from trailer bedThe Bolivar County Sheriff's Department officers are investigating the hanging and possible sodomy of a pit bull which was found in Duncan on Wednesday. The owner of the $300 dog, Angela Trotter, was told about her dog by a neighbor. The dog, named Meg Sanders, was found hanging by her neck on the top bar of an old bunk bed in an abandoned trailer. "It looked like someone had been having sex with the dog, and the dog's teeth were showing like this," she added, baring her teeth. Trotter also said it appeared the dog had been tortured anally. A representative from the Bolivar County Justice Court said the fine for animal cruelty is set by the judge who hears the case. The fine could be anywhere from $200 to $500, and the judge could also impose jail time.[?] ("And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast." Leviticus 20:15)
