It's time for an "important" journal from me, guys. I live in Colorado, and this is something that took place in a town just an hour away from me.
On December 30, 2009 between 2:18 am and 4:30 am a German Shepherd named Buddy was dragged to death at the Colorado National Monument. Joan Anzelmo, superintendent of the monument, identified the suspect as Steven Clay Romero, 37, of Grand Junction. The superintendent also told The Denver Post that tracks left in the snow clearly show how the crime was committed: The dog initially walked, then ran and eventually was dragged when it couldn't keep up with the vehicle. It was finally dumped after it died from the dragging.
She said the German shepherd mix was forced to run up one of the steepest hills at the monument. During the 3 miles, the dog had to run on about 2 inches of snow, around multiple switchbacks and sharp curves that gained more than 1,000 feet in elevation before the animal collapsed and died.
Marylou Randour, a staff psychologist for the Humane Society of the United States, said the person or persons who committed the act is a psychopath. "He is someone who has no compassion or empathy for any living creatures," Randour said. Randour added that the individual is extremely dangerous and a threat to human beings as well as animals.
"He may not have been angry at all," she said of the individual. "He may have done it for kicks — to torture an animal in an elaborate and detailed way."
Randour, who has studied animal abusers for years, said a recent study of 43,000 people found that those with drug problems and mental-health problems are most likely to engage in animal cruelty.

In short, I am asking everyone who reads this to sign this petition. I don't care where you're from, or if you don't even know where the city it took place is. All I know is this man deserves absolutely everything that he gets.
Please help to give this disgusting, horrible human being the maximum penalty for killing an absolutely innocent creature who probably loved him for some reasons that we will never understand.
Edit: Excuse me, I was incorrect. It seems the dog was not his, rather, he -stole- it from another family, and took the life their family member instead.
