"When the puppies arrived, the owners were upset that they were not purebred, and began throwing them in a pond and shooting at them. A neighbour arrived just in time to save only Max and his sister. Max came home with me. I can't help but see in his face that he is delighted to be alive and to be with me."

Thank God for the neighbour and for all folks who adopt and foster animals. Bless them always.

As to the people that would do this to any animal but especially puppies (or kittens) I hope hell is too good for assholes like this.

Where did this happen Bart? When I read that kind of news, and it involves the innocent, that really makes me mad. Eye for an eye would seem to good for those low lifes !

Damn, that is just freaking cruel. People like that are worthless piles of shit, nothing more.

South eastern United States. Just a sec.....Richmond, Virginia. You're exactly right, however an eye for an eye would be far too kind for shitheads like this.

Agree, completely bull. They have no respect for themselves and therefore no regard for the sanctity of life at all, be it human, plant or animal. I'm sure some eyebrows will go up when they see "plant" here. Let's think about old growth trees, beautiful lakes and all. Without all plants, humans and animals are f***ed, pardon my french. People like this are a blight on the environment and an offense against human dignity everywhere. I don't give a flying "f" who you are, what your background, what circumstances you grew up in, what your race or religion are: you don't do shit like this EVER. Case closed.

Indeed they should be shot. One thing I really hate is watching people treating animals wrong. It really p**** me off.

Animal molesters should be exposed to incredible pain, friggin hate them.

Here in Denmark we have a lot of those cases in the media these days, slaughtered dog found hanging in a tree in the woods, another dog found with its mouth stripped close so it couldnt eat and also a cat that was stolen and then equipped with 2 huge explosive fireworks, thankfully they didnt ignite.


It hurts my soul to hear these kind of things Makes me think of my beloved dog... oh the memories. (not that my dog was abused, just miss him )

People like this just plainly piss me off...hell is too good for them and a shotgun to the face is just as nice...
somthing needs to be done about this...it's just wrong...

Would like to see the negative energy these people have put into good use! Say for the next 10 years straight. Just have them in solitary confinement, and work them for 12 hours a day, caring for sick animals! More of a Mahaatma Gandhi idea than mine-he seemed to do ok, and stopped the killngs of millions of people along the way too. Any infraction, just add another 3 years to their sentence for each infraction. The killing of another animal while in their charge, add another 20 years. No chance for parole, no torture-want to keep them in good working order, just isolation, work-hard labor, and confinement.

Sounds like a great idea, in theory.

One chance to do the right thing and then "squish."

I believe in the general goodness of the general populace however there are some folks that are (in my belief) born evil, brought up to be and do evil, evil 'til the day they die and most importantly and sadly;beyond redemption.

I am completely saddened by the fact that there are some folks that are legally and mentally sane and take great pleasure by inflicting intellectual, emotional and physical pain on everything and eveybody around them.

However, I believe for some twisted individuals this is a cause for celebration for them rather than a horrid self realization.

"Those" types have no place in society and should be kept away from all other people and things until they die.

As much as I would love to see these types suffer greatly for the rest of their lives; it would not create any positive karma for us, them and the rest of the world.

Permanent incarceration away from "innocents"; both animal and human is the only way.

Sorry, Df; but I would never trust these folks with those that are the vulnerable, whether animal or human, ever again.

In some cases they will never be "rehabilitated" and society shouldn't waste the resources trying.

Better that we put the money towards victim compensation, counselling and animal welfare progams.

Wow.... Thats just like the Marine throwing the puppy off the cliff.... That just fucked up.

I swear people like this need to be skinned alive and thrown in a huge tub of salt.

t-b you make a very persuasive argument. But, since in reality your thoughts, and mine will never come about in either the United States or Canada. What to do? Besides venting in this thread about killing these swine, or keeping them locked-up doing good deeds for their lifetime-none of these thoughts will come about.

Perhaps, some humanitarian fund could be created to wage war against these monsters with the legal system, that is, since the legal system is constrained by it own red tape most of the time, e.g., with an inordinate amount of traffic tickets-a money maker, and are unable to successfully prosecute these people. With that in mind, (1) What about a fund that can be directed to have a group of attorneys on retainer to just go after these 'social terrorists' to insure that they get the full measure of the law applied to them, at least when in court. (2) Make it more difficult for these swine to get a pet again, (cutting off hands is fine with me), but, we can not even keep track of children that are taken, assaulted, and killed by sexual predators, and these nut case siblings.

Would subscribe to hire more police, have tougher animal saftey laws, education-people and animal socialization, and just some form of legal exile to get them out of the country-give money to another country to take them in-currently Iran sounds good to me! Oh hell, just a clean shot always worked in the past-vote for a quick dispatch.

I'm all for fair chance, unbiased justice and application of the law equally in all cases however there are certain things that just SHOULDN'T be done:

1.) Rape, sexual predation of anyone: male, female, old, young. No means no. Respect yourself, respect others.
2.)Molestation of children or the mentally handicapped, seniors. That's just twisted. Here's a rusty spoon; do the right thing and fix yourself.
3.) Abuse of ALL animals, be they foreign, domestic, pet, wild or destined for the slaughter house.

You bring up some great points, as always Df.

Pet registry of non adoption/fostering for two time losers? Works for me.

Also shitheads that run, create, protect puppy/kitten mills and those that promote any type of animal fighting, be it inter or intra species. That shit is just plain sick.

Grow up and get over that your Mama took you off the tit too early. As they say, tough titty. Shit happens, life is NOT fair, bad things happen to good people, good to bad, bad to bad and good to good. Life is random and sometimes shitty.

Suck it up, grow up and don't take it out on others.

Be a man/woman/grownup and act in a responsible fashion.

i vote we shot this guy after tossing him in a pound

I like the way you think Dan.....

Hmmm ... an open molten steel vat seems like it would work-may have to put some mix of sorts in the steel after, to clean and take the impurities out!

Alas....human cruelty knows no bounds.

You've hit the nail on the head biggie. That is the saddest part. Fortunately, we also can demonstrate the most extraordinary acts of love, kindness, humility and empathy also. We are strange beasts, that's for sure.
