We have seen a lot of cruel, disgusting behavior in our time on the Internet. This is… something else.
Last week, the police-founded dog rescue group Ghetto Rescue posted a heartbreaking story about a pit bull named Cargo who was found abused and despite hopes to the contrary, later died of her injuries.

Cargo was adopted on July 23 in Orange County and found two weeks later on the street with a rope tied around her neck, having suffered — and we can’t believe we’re writing this — sexual abuse.
Despite lack of obvious external injury, an exam showed a ruptured aorta, suggesting trauma to the chest area. There were also signs of vaginal trauma.
The sad story quickly went viral. And now the LAPD has taken up the case.
Detective Al Erkelens of the Animal Cruelty Task Force told the Orange County Register:
“There are two possible crimes, bestiality which is a misdemeanor, and intentional injury to the dog that was meant to inflict pain, suffering or death to the dog.”
We still can’t believe this is even a thing. But Det. Erkelens says:
“Sexual assaults with dogs does occur. Most cases are reported either because they are seen or someone tells someone about it.”
We hope they find this sicko and Cargo gets some justice.
