What a jack-Wad. Sadly, as many have pointed out, the police and law enforcement will be of little help. Sounds like you already know this, sounds like the local law is pretty useless. Been there done that, own that t-shirt... so to speak.

Real sad thing is a lot of places wouldn't treat this serious even if the police did seek out the person responsible. They are something like five states where there is little or no plenty for this type of shit. I can't remember the states and really it doesn't matter since I have no idea where you live (not asking either none of my business, just saying) I remember there being guy in Mississippi who tied his dog to a tree and lit it on fire. I think he ended up with $100 fine and some probation. Don't quote me on that, I'm too lazy to google for facts right now.

I know years ago the laws covering dogs and cats were completely different in Oregon. Basically a dog was property and protected from harm by persons other then it's owner. The owner could do whatever he wanted with the dog, it was his property. Cats were not covered by any law. Shoot them, run over them do whatever you wanted. I was reading through the ORS (Oregon Revised Statutes) one day, fresh out of the navy and came across these laws. When I asked my supervisor what the logic was he told me "people own dogs to hunt and farm, cats are just consider nuance animals under the law. I'm sure those laws have changed, least I hope they have.

Anyway sorry for your loss. If you need an alibi after you find this POS... I'll be glad to swear we were drinking beer on my beach that day.
