ABC News reported the shocking story of Mitt Romney's cruelty to his own dog, saying "Republican presidential candidate...Mitt Romney...has angered animal rights activists for strapping his dog to the roof of his car on a family trip from Boston to Ontario, Canada.
During the 12-hour trip, Seamus (the Romney's Irish Setter) lost control of his bowels, to which Romney's response was to stop at a gas station, hose down the poor dog, and return to the highway with poor Seamus still frightened, wind-buffeted, uncomfortable, and now dripping wet.
The ABC News story also quotes Ingrid Newkirk, president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals as saying "It is commonsense that any dog who's under extreme stress might show that stress by losing control of his bowels: that alone should have been sufficient indication that the dog was, basically, being tortured."
Newkirk went on to say Romney's treatment of Seamus was "a lesson in cruelty that was ... wrong for [his children] to witness."
