It is about time do gooders stopped making excuses for these kids. Human Rights etc are fine but, I am firmly of the opinion that corporal punishment in schools etc should be brought back. Kids need to be taught from an early age what is acceptable and what is not. It is about time parents start taking responsibility for their children - especially ones so young. Their parents should be made to pay towards the vets bills and should be made to undertake parenting classes to show them how to bring up their children to respect other people/animals and property.

   These "Kids" were probably left to wander because their "parents" were still at "skool" carving their names on each, smoking their joints or abusing the Teachers...what makes you think the could read these comments anyway!!!!

   Some years ago a survey was carried out with murderers held in USA prisons, most were found to have harmed animals when they were young children! I hope the parents of the children who carried out this attack on this puppy read this comment.

   Oh dear! Deprived children upto their high jinx again, We should be suppling them with somewhere warm to play,feed them up, supply them with Playstations... No try beating both them and there "parents" with sticks and lets see how long it takes for the to know right from wrong!!! Better this gets the "do gooders "going, wait till its your Family they attack in 5,10,or 15 years its only time.....

   Where were the parents of these four and five year old kids? Why was this poor pup out on its own? Where are the owners of this badly beated pup? What will these kids be doing when they get older beating up old people teachers kids anything they can get away with!! The poor puppy must have been terrified it broke my heart to see the pictures of this poor creature in so much distress and pain!! I hope this animal gets a home that gives it lots of loving care and attention unfortunately I am unable to offer the pup a home.

   A discrace, children as young as four and five are going round doing harm to animals, I'm sorry but you'll have to lock them and their parents up for a substantial amount of time
