Reporter Denise Nix wrote a story about a fascinating issue that pits religious freedom against animal rights. Check it out.

A Lawndale man who told a detective that the decapitated animals found around his home died in religious sacrifices will stand trial for animal cruelty, a judge decided today.

The case against Rafael Giralt, 58, could raise some freedom of religion issues, especially since there are conflicting laws regarding animal sacrifices in religious practice.

I got this e-mail from our friend, Sanpedrodogs.

It's heartbreaking what some people will do to animals, but it's nice to know there are people out there who will jump in and help them.

My friend found this sweetheart on the street covered in gasoline. With all the fireworks I am sure they were hoping she would go up in flames. They have given her 5 baths and she still smells. If you know of anyone that will foster or adopt this sweet pup please let me know.

Her name is Vanessa, and she is about 7 or 8 weeks old.
