I'm sure it's rare but we've seen two cases of animal cruelty coming out of Burley in as many days.

By now, I'm sure you're aware of the terrible story of Patches the pony, who was dragged behind a vehicle by some unknown low-life and sustained injuries so great, he had to be put down. There's currently a gofundme page for Patches the Pony that has generated well over $9,000 towards a reward leading to the arrest of those responsible.

While I was researching the gofundme efforts for Patches, I stumbled upon the story of Lucky. Lucky is a one-year-old chihuahua that was found under a tree in the Burley area. What's shocking about Lucky's story isn't that she was abandoned but that she was suffering from chemical burns on her body that appear to be intentionally inflicted. And to add a new level of cruelty to an already terrible story, she also has burns in her throat, meaning it appears that she was also forced to consume the chemical.

There is a gofundme effort for Lucky to help pay for her medical bills and Lucky will be available for adoption at the Minidoka Animal Shelter as soon as she's well.
