ANIMALS are tortured at an abandoned hotel used as an apartment complex, claim neighbours and a concerned animal lover.
The dilapidated building in which the incidents allegedly take place is on Okra Hill.
There, witnesses say crying cats and dogs on the third floor are frequently heard. Children, they say, torture and hang the animals on that floor.
“A couple of weeks ago I almost got attacked for trying to go there by myself to feed some homeless dogs in the area,” said one woman who wished to remain anonymous.
“Lots of Haitians live there. I think they were high on crack, they tried to grab me. I had a pepper spray and a taser but they were in my bag which I left in the car as I went to see if animals were there,” she said, adding that she videotaped a resident talking about the alleged abuses.
In response to the claims, Bahamas Humane Society staff inspected the area on Tuesday, finding an injured, homeless dog.
Although they said they cannot confirm if animals are tortured in the building, they said they saw disturbing graffiti on the wall, one with the words “Hang Em High” written in red.

Where is the famous "Urban Renewal", oh I forgot, that was merely for political capital. The manner in which a society treats defenseless animals is indicative of social advancement as a whole, which if this is true, there is little to be celebrating after 40 years of self governance.

Man beats 2 year old to death and there's just one comment.
Policeman mistakenly leaves his dog in a hot car leading to his death, and were inundated with comments.
The value of a Bahamian childs life verses that of a dog is astounding!
Saves the dogs, cats, dolphins, sharks, turtles, birds, conch, Haitians and Cubans and everything else except save the Bahamian.......Blatantly shameful!!

Well clearly[,][1] but I think the actual implication was that he wasn't moved. It seemed the way it was written and his aforementioned day dreaming would imply that his experience didn't really happen; and that's why he was back in the truck[.][2] The appearance of the walkie talkie at the end is what cements that the experience did occur and that wasn't in the truck the entire time. It was just the lack of transition that put me through a loop.

Animal torture is one of the biggest crimes we have ever seen. In addition, I always wonder why people go for testing on animals (in case of cosmetics and medicines) when you have people who are in prison for rape case and murder cases. Why can’t you test it on them? Animals are also a living creature made by God and human have no right to harm them,.

This is awful! I don't understand why anyone would do such things!!! What mindless people can harm animals in such ways??? This kind of people should be severely punished. As for the animals, I believe all countries should adopt the model of some African countries where they have something called <a href="http://www.ida-africa.org/">chimpanzee sanctuary</a>, a place where animals are truly protected against such situations.
