Authorities in Atlanta are looking for the persons responsible for setting dogs on fire, including a six week old puppy. Since the beginning of July shelters have seen too many dogs coming in burned. Pet rescue groups, such as PAWS, say they believe it may be a new trend.

Thursday six dogs were found burned, all in the same fashion. They've had a flammable liquid poured on them and then set fire Officials suspect it could be a gang initiation because the burned dogs are coming from a wide area. So they don't think it's the act of just one person.

The 6 week old puppy whose back is burned.

You have to be a sick sociopath to set an animal on fire. Hope they catch the b*stard(s) and I hope they have enough teeth in the law to put them away for a long time. If I ever came across someone doing this I'd probably end up in jail for what I'd do to the 2 legged "animal"!

1. Wow that a real manly initiation right

You have to be a real man to set fire to a puppy. Sick cowardly fucks.

2. Remember

They can't arrest you if they can't find the evidence.;)

4. Want to bet?

All we need are some humane humans as witnesses to this horrific crime.

3. That's what happens when michael vick is your role model.

Life in prison for these sociopaths; society should NOT be exposed to these heinous pieces of trash.

11. I bet they will give the excuse it is a cultural thing

5. Gang initiation?

Is that just a sort of blank accusation for just about anything?

7. Maybe

These incidents are probably just sick pranks on the part of disturbed individuals i.e. sociopaths.

We've previously had cases of gang initiation involving murder (or drive-by shootings) of humans. Thus it shouldn't be surprising that these types of individuals might participate in dog burning (although I doubt that this is part of a gang initiation ritual).

6. Just plain evil

Find these monsters and then execute them by firing squad in the town square.

9. Lets set them on fire

Yeah! And see how they like it.

The solution to a lot of animal cruelty is education, but this is down right criminal.

These folks do deserve to be executed in the town square, but so do the people guilty of committing violence and sex crimes against people.

8. I'm usually a 'No-Kill' guy -- these people, however, can be put to sleep.

Without an adoption-wating period. Just do it.

10. I saw this video on CNN's web site this morning

and it made me sick to my stomach. The cruelty of some people is just unbelievable. Whoever is doing this needs to be caught and given the maximum sentence possible.

13. Just a simple jail sentence is not enough

Give these punks a taste of torture so they'll know what the dogs must have felt before they were burned! Good thing I didn't see the video. Just reading about it here is sickening enough! Don't these guys know that God created animals as well as humans? What other form of evil lurks out there we have'nt heard of yet? First, pedophiles and now this! Dear God, the shame of it all!!!

Btw, the pic of your pet is truly beautiful, Greylyn. I'm a cat lover myself, but I love golden retrievers too.

12. There are no words to describe my disgust at people who abuse animals

It is inexcusable. I've got three rescued dogs. They all came to us with problems because of their prior treatment.
