Karma rarely visits the kind of filth which takes pleasure in torturing the defenceless. They never get themselves into the kind of situation which offers Karma a chance.

A blaze that swept through a dogs' home has now claimed the lives of 60 animals, with the death toll expected to rise further.

More than 150 dogs were rescued from the fire, which broke out at Manchester Dogs' Home in Moss Brook Road in Harpurhey on Thursday evening.

A 15-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of arson.

A JustGiving account set up by the Manchester Evening News had raised more than £500,000 soon after 11:00 BST.

The number of dogs initially confirmed to have died in the fire was 43.

Firefighters said the 150 dogs rescued from the blaze have been moved to a sister site, Cheshire Dogs' Home.

'Angry and upset'

A statement from the home said: "The staff and trustees of Cheshire Dogs' Home near Warrington would like to express their enormous gratitude for the huge support received from the public following the devastating fire at its sister site Manchester Dogs' Home last night."

Hundreds of messages of sympathy have been left on the JustGiving page, as the amount of money donated continues to rise.

Very sad and hope justice is served.

Hamsterdam. I don't understand 'people not dogs'. What do you mean? I suppose the forensic team will find out if it was intentional or not.

I'd like to see the 'stocks' or pillory re-introduced into our laws. Give the public a chance to show these mindless yobs, muggers and petty thieves to show them our seething dislike of them! Angry

We could get some practice on the local 'kebab shop vermin' before they are hauled off to prison.

I disagree with some of the comments above. Do you honestly think a child thinks of all the consequences?

2 local youngsters thought it would be fun putting a lighter to a carpet warehouse a few months ago..

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-27748682

Did they think they would cause millions worth of damage? Did they think they could get away with it? Did they think they potentially could have killed people?

It's not right what the kid done and he should be punished but I just want to put some perspective into the discussion for those that want him/ her hung drawn and quartered.

We used to play around a railway track, one game was seeing how close we could get to a train as it went by. Nobody was ever hurt but it was MADNESS when I think back on it.

I'm not condoning this but we've all done stupid things, kids don't think of the consequences. I just think we need to understand that they are not fully grown adults.

In the words of a famous consultant psychiatrist::
Look at arson - I mean, how many of us can honestly say that at one time or another he hasn't set fire to some great public building? I know I have. The only way to bring the crime figures down is to reduce the number of offences. Get it out in the open. I know I have.

I grew up on a council estate & some of the daredevil games that we played were just plain crazy & dangerous , jumping off subway railings over a 20 ft concrete drop

A couple of lads even used to lie down on a railway track & let the train whizz over them at 70 mph Crazy

a lad I knew of burned his local school down

The thing is it couldn't of been that easy for him to set fire to this place imo

He must have had a serious intention to do it & knew fully that the dogs would be injured or killed Sad
