I personally think he pulled this 'I did it to send a message' shit out of his ass just to save his own image.
Yes, I understand the message that he's trying to send now. But boo-fucking-hoo. He still tortured a living thing that didn't deserve it. And while the message sent is an eye-opener, there are still other ways this guy could have sent it.
Just because a bunch of people signed a petition and felt that's all they had to do, doesn't mean that everyone that did sign it is just going to sit back and hope it gets better. It raises awareness of the situation. And petitions help people to get on the boat to do something.
He can say whatever he wants, you can say whatever you want. This kind of act isn't making the world a better place. It will only make others feel it's alright to send their own fucked up messages. And you fail for agreeing that this kind of thing is okay.

Done something to redeem himself by, you know, keeping the dog and ACTUALLY feeding it, taking care of it, bringing it to health, just like I said. If he wanted to send this kind of message, he should have set the example and gave the dog a better life, rather than to send it back to the streets.
