On the recordJuly 31, 2001
I decried wanton, barbaric acts of animal cruelty, spending some time recounting the awful circumstances of the small dog, a Bichon frise named Leo, who was yanked from a car after a minor traffic accident and thrown into oncoming highway traffic, in an act of terror directed at both the dog and his horrified and traumatized owner. The innocent creature met a brutal and painful death as a consequence of this hate-filled act. In this case, I am happy to report that some measure of justice prevailed in the end.
