Not long ago, at around 2:00 PM an image struck the neighbors of Ezeiza (Buenos Aires, Argentina): Benet ran desperately, covered in flames, between the houses. The agonizing scream and cry of Benet caught the attention and compassion of everyone.

Benet was very well known around Ezeiza and it is why the ones who cared for him have done so ever since that day. It was because of their love that Benet is alive today and it is because of their love that he wants to keep living.

He still has two more months of recovery, but his hope is still intact. His right side and his abdominal are what the vets are really concerned about and even though he hasn’t lost his entire sigh, he can’t see without blurs because of the burns on his eyes.

Till today, Ricardo Eckerd tries to continue his normal routine in Ezeiza, but can’t. Or might we say: they don’t let him. Since the brutal attack became public he doen’t stop getting home calls, cellphone calls, letters, mails, texts, you name it. He doesn’t seem to mind that his neighbors have completely broken down his white Ford because he had it fixed a few days after. Of course, not without threatening the entire neighborhood: “Before leaving the neighborhood I’m gonna kill one of them”, he promised; “I’m gonna leave them handicapped”, he said to the people protesting outside his house. He suggests that the dog will “return to the neighborhood” so that he could “light him on fire once more”.

His words and reaction did not surprise the neighbors of course. He had a record for public violence.

After realizing that his Cocker had gotten pregnant he decided to take revenge on the author of the cause: Benet. So he called the dog and poured gas all over him. A little kid was watching as he did this and Ricardo said to him: “Now, you’re gonna see what I do”. His first attempt to light fire failed. Benet felt fear and tried to run and escape but Ricardo ran after him and tried to light him for the second time. And this time it worked.

Story from:

The final straw for animal advocates in Kentucky and those who support us was the incident which happened at 478 Peeled Oak Road in Owingsville KY (Bath County) when Dusty, a golden retriever mix, was shot in the leg and hung in the front yard of Wesley Barrett’s home on the end of a tractor. Passers by were shocked at this display and the authorities were called.

Mr. Barrett contended that a neighbor shot his “pet” and he hung Dusty in his front yard to show the neighbor he had successfully killed his dog.

Mr. Barrett, however, allegedly failed to identify the mysterious neighbor and allegedly declined to press charges.

While WLEX-TV covered the story, apparently investigative journalism is a lost art. The reporter from WLEX-TV did not ask the following questions that we would like answered by Mr. Barrett.

1) If you were outraged enough to hang Dusty in your front yard, why did you not press charges?
2) Could you please identify the “shooter” for us so appropriate measures can be taken?
3) What kind of person hangs a “beloved” pet in their front yard like a hunting trophy, regardless of how the pet died?

We also have been advised that law enforcement simply shook Mr. Barrett’s hand, provided their contact information and offered to be of service in the future should he require it.

Dusty’s body was not confiscated and we can only assume that by now, the “evidence” has been destroyed.

In memory of Dusty, we can no longer sit by and allow Kentucky government to ignore our pleas for humane treatment of animals and just punishment of their abusers.

Since we can not change their hearts and minds, we must change our legislators.
