Un****ingbelievable...
A dog named Pay de Limon (Lemon Pay) runs, fitted with two front prosthetic legs at Milagros Caninos rescue shelter in Mexico City, on August 29, 2012. Members of a drug gang in the Mexican state of Zacatecas chopped off Limon’s paws to practice cutting fingers off kidnapped people, according to Milagros Caninos founder Patricia Ruiz. Fresnillo residents found Limon in a dumpster bleeding and legless.
After administering first aid procedures, they managed to take him to Milagros Caninos, an association that rehabilitates dogs that have suffered extreme abuse. The prosthetic limbs were made at OrthoPets in Denver, Colorado, after the shelter was able to raise over $6,000.

1. Poor sweet dog. How could anyone do something like this? How could anyone chop
Off fingers of those they kidnap, too? Drug gangs are like a horrible cancer. Drug use ( meth and heroin, not pot) is a cancer too.
How could anyone chop up an unborn baby? It happens every day and no tears from the left.

9. On one hand, humans were cruel enough to cut off a dog's front legs for kidnapping practice,
and on the other hand, humans were compassionate enough to save the dog and use resources to give the dog the best life he could have in his situation.
We are a diverse species.
Yet the humans that are compassionate towards the unborn are considered evil by you freaks.

29. It makes my head hurt. It always seems like the good people are always cleaning up
after the bad people.

10. This made me wonder if there is any effort for an international standard...
a UN Declaration for Animal Rights as there are for Human Rights.
This is the only site I found working toward that:

Back a Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare
Animal suffering is an urgent worldwide problem. Whether it’s the millions of animals forgotten after natural disasters or the 1 billion stray cats and dogs at risk of being needlessly culled, animals need our help. As well as the individual actions we can take, our governments have a crucial role to play in creating lasting change for animals.
This is why WSPA is calling for a Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare (UDAW) to be backed by the United Nations.
A declaration will create a baseline for animal care and treatment that every nation in the world can work towards... It will make animals a global priority, to be included as we seek solutions for the big issues we face, like poverty and climate change... It will make animals matter.
More than 2 million individuals and 40 governments have joined us in demanding a declaration. Join us.
Tell the world that animals matter: back a Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare.
Just what we need the UN controlling animal rights.

24. Precious creature. I read about this a while ago and it just made me so sad, but happy
Limon was saved.
I just have no words. And wouldn't trust myself if I ever caught someone doing something like that to any living creature. Poachers included.
What about abortion doctors?

26. OMG!!!! Who would do that to a dog????
****ers.
If only the mistreatment of human babies could get you all weepy eyed like torturing a poor dog does.
I feel bad for the dog and am glad he is ok now.
