The Associated Press is reporting that a South Carolina woman was charged with animal cruelty after hanging a dog and burning its body because it chewed on her Bible:
When questioned by police and animal control officers, Miriam Smith told them the female dog named "Diamond" was a "devil dog" and she feared it might harm neighborhood children, according to an incident report from the county's Environmental Enforcement Department.
It probably didn't help that the dog was chained outside, or that she left her Bible on the porch.
