My friend in Alabama said this happened there and it's a big deal. Someone skinned the live dog and it ran home somehow but had to be put down. People out there are all in an uproar! There are no suspects I gather. She said it's been on the news! I just found out.... here is a doctored up picture, they don't want to show the real one, it's that bad. Makes me want to puke. Poor poor baby, who would do that?

Reward Up to $35,000 in Beagle Abuse Case.
December 5, 2007
VINEMONT, Ala. (AP) - The reward money is growing for information leading to the person or persons responsible for a horrific case of animal cruelty.
Three animal groups say more than $35,000 has been raised for the Justice for Anne fund. The case involves the November 18th attack on a pet beagle that was skinned alive and later had to be euthanized. The incident is believed to have happened in the Providence community near Vinemont.
The three-year-old dog named Anne had her coat removed from the nape of the neck to the base of the tail and down to the nipple line. A second dog named Buttercup was also attacked. The beagle suffered lacerations around the neck and shoulder before apparently escaping. Owner Janet Rodgers said Buttercup is recovering.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Cullman County sheriff's office at (256) 734-0342 or call the Secret Witness Line at 734-0210.
