Six puppies were killed, apparently by fireworks placed in their mouths, shortly after teenage boys were seen carrying Roman candles in a north Tulsa neighborhood.

Animal control officers said they were following leads Tuesday but had no suspects in Sunday night's attacks, during which one person told police they heard a puppy yelp.

An older dog, a 41/2-month-old black Labrador mix, suffered burns on her muzzle and hindquarters from apparently being used as a moving target for fireworks.

The Tulsa Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was caring for the injured dog and for the puppies' mother, a 11/2-year-old black-and-tan heeler mix that was not harmed.

This kind of story always makes my blood boil! I hope they catch these future serial killers.

1. I try to avoid cussing whenever possible...

...but I *really* wish I could get my hands on the motherfuckers that did this.

2. Why am I worried about them going to war? Who are we saving ?

Honest to God how violent we have become.

6. It isn't a "we" issue...

What we have here is some very mentally ill kids. They are on their way to bigger and "better" crimes. If you can torture and kill a puppy you are capable of doing the same to a human being.

3. These F*cks will probably wind up in politics some day.....

maybe they got the idea from Bush blowing up frogs.

Seriously, I've been trying to get a chained dog saved for months....
the kids are like zombies....Such cruel people. I hate their guts...
and the animal control guys let the guy off because they know him.

I hate them, too.

I wish the people who did this were tied to a pole and forced to swallow a lit M-80.

7. Makes me wish for the days of corporal punishment

And public humiliation. Lock them in the stockade, pull their pants down around their ankles and blister their asses. Then send them to jail to cool off for a while. Where are the parents?

10. Back when this sort of thing was public sport...

9. The perps had no firearms in their posession nor were firearms involved.

Perhaps an armed single individual witness could have stopped it. But as a single individual they were clearly outnumberd by the gang.
