Who killed Lou?

We are generally not given to pitchforks and posses, but we’ll gladly make an exception to hunt down “Kevin” like a dog and bring him to justice.

Kevin is the nom de plume of the man who said he kidnapped Jason and Shannon Davis’ dog, Lou, in December in Delano, City Pages reports.

Kevin called the family more than a dozen times, first promising to return the dog, then becoming increasingly more paranoid that the family would turn him in. In the last phone call, he said he would run Lou over with his car.

He didn’t. He shot Lou instead.

The civilized world will put up with a lot of incidents of savagery. But killing a dog isn’t one of them.
