having been attacked four times in my life - first by a horde of toy poodles, once by a pair of Doberman pinchers, once by an insane German Shepherd, and once by an insane Corgi-I can honestly say that I've never killed a dog in my entire life. And, I can also say I have rescued adopted, and love many dogs over my life.
I was not traumatized by any of them, although I hold a distaste for small dogs. However, that does not mean that I would burn down their kennels by any stretch of the imagination.
the ages for the toy poodle and Doberman assaults was before I was 12, and the other two were more recent.there is no way on gods green earth that I would light a fire and kill anything intentionally let alone..
if the 14 year old who did this was mauled by dogs that is no excuse. And I agree with those who say both arson and animal torture are two significant indicators of later homicidal /serial killer tendencies.
what and horrific sight that must have been. For anyone who saw it, let alone the firefighters who went in to save the dogs. Having watched my neighbors house burn with her inside it screaming for her life, fires are my number one fear. I cannot imagine how it was for everyone...my prayers are with all of the firefighters, neighbors, and dogs who have experienced one of the most horrific events that can ever happen.
