65-year old Miriam Smith of Pacolet Mills, South Carolina, is sitting in the Spartanburg County jail this morning after being arrested over the weekend on a charge of animal cruelty.

She hanged it with an extension cord, then doused it with kerosene and set it on fire.

My mother was from So. Carolina and I visit the relatives every other year. I know there are a few strange folk down there (not excluding my relatives) - but that lady is a dangerous loon. There are a lot of dog lovers in the state and I don't think they are going to buy the "god made me do it" bullshit.
PS: I signed the petition.
