Has learning difficulties but does have an ability to 'regret what she did'. In other words, knows right from wrong.

Those that know my views on things can guess what I think should happen to her. Anyone else's thoughts?

It may be the Golden Nag Champa that's fuelling incensitive commentary. Ommmmm.

BOO - I was so angry at the failure of the RSPCA to act on behalf of this poor, tortured dog (they actually visited and apparently offered advice, so why the hell didnt they go back and keep a check on this poor animal) that I have written to them telling them just what I think about their neglect in this case. Like you, I can't stand them. All too oftren I read reports such as this where they could have saved the animal, but it comes far too late.

What this dog went through beggars belief. Never coming out of that cage, never eating, never drinking, lying in it's own filth and all the time this vile couple must have cooked and ate food in front of it. God, it makes my blood boil.

Sadly, its not an isolated case, only today this is in The Mail.

I really do hate people sometimes.

Practically every day in the Mail there is some atrocity inflicted on a defenceless animal. I despair at times.

B00 - another disgraceful case of cruelty and neglect.

''Unemployed Plumridge was handed an 18-week suspended prison sentence, 180 hours’ unpaid work and was ordered to pay £500 costs.''

Well she looks like she had of food!

And as for the magistrates - unbelievably stupid and incompetent.

'regret what you did' is normally a retrospective view of when someone suddenly snaps and does something totally out of charachter. This was over 7 months - can 'regetting what you did' stand up on this occasion?

[chaptazbru]

Surely they only 'regret' it because they have been caught.

SirP has mentioned something which I immediately picked up on. In both cases, the women in the pictures look extremely well fed don't they?
