Death Sentence For a Dog

Yes, this is happening in the 21st century. You see, an ultra-orthodox religious court in an ultra-orthodox area of Jerusalem has sentenced a dog to death by stoning. Wait, it gets even more bizarre once you hear the reason. The judges of the court say the dog has been possessed by the spirit of a dead secular lawyer who insulted them many years ago. So to save the dog from the spirit they have condemned it to death by stoning.

  11. We do this in America too, it's called putting a dog down. Although I agree the reason is pushing it quite a bit.
