I saw this story on KSL about yet another sick incident of animal cruelty. An 18 year old driver threw his boxer-lab mix out the sunroof during a high-speed chase with police. The dog limped off the road after suffering a broken pelvis and severe road rash all over its body.
The driver insists the dog jumped out of a window after he hit a bump in the road though police say they saw otherwise and the dog was deliberately thrown.
I only post about this because Utah has some of the most lenient animal cruelty laws in the nation and “Henry’s Bill,” a legislative proposal that would make deliberate animal torture a third degree felony, has been tabled again.
Visit the official website of the Utah Humane Society to learn more about “Henry’s Bill” and how you can support the fight against animal cruelty.

Right – i’m sure the dog “jumped” out, or accidentally fell out of the window. Whatever. He should still be punished for negligence, at the very least.
