We have a real problem with people who are not intelligent enough to understand that certain breeds require special care and control to protect the dog and the public. Great Danes are huge dogs that require lots of care from responsible owners. Idiots who have no inclination or ability to provide such care will buy this breed because it looks cool, then abuse the poor dog. Same stuff happens with more regularity with pit bulls. At least Great Danes are not bred as killers. People should have to purchase a renewable permit to own certain breeds.

Thank heavens and the rescuers they are warm and fed tonight.

Double tap to the head for those responsible.

Great Danes are a very gentle breed. This makes me sick.

I say let the owners get the same treatment - slow and painful.

You got your couple of solid number twos accused here.

This breaks my heart. How could anyone do This? And it happens so often. I keep bags of dog food in my car and try to feed every hungry dog I see, i wish I could provide them all with a home. Please please send a message and throw these people under the jail. And leave them there forever. The dogs will forgive, I can't.

What's the max punishment?

97-41-16 (2013) Mississippi Code, Simple cruelty, $1000 fine and 6 months in jail.

Pet ownership and bearing children should require a permit and education classes on parenting.

Why don't we see the faces of the arrested plastered up on some of the billboards around town? Why not here?

I am fortunate enough to have a Great Dane/Mastiff mix lap dog. He has been the most hilarious dog I have ever had. He is old now and weighs about 190 lbs. His job was to walk around the corner of my country home and make a statement, which He emphatically did. I have seen many a tradesmen dive into their truck when he walked around the corner. All he wanted was to be petted and loved and able to slobber all over the unsuspecting Workman. Great Dane dogs are gentle giants. To treat this kind of gentle sweet dog with such disregard is a travesty. All they want to do is please you. Everyone needs a dog like this once in your life, but your life is so enriched. Now in full disclosure, I will not have another giant like mine, but I will have so many fond stories to tell my grandchildren about Finney. I sincerely hope the dogs recover, and his abusers are fully prosecuted. And then hung out to dry. Upside down. And maybe disemboweled. In keeping with how the dogs were treated.

Wow. Thanks to the vet - Dr. Spencer Mills - who treated those precious dogs. This is just so wrong - hope they end up in great forever homes.
