In a civil manner... The dog is likely to be run over. Which means death. You mention death by microwave and sticking matches in their eyes. This is torture that leads to death... so how is having your owner **read best friend** who has cared for you and been your only source of food, water and shelter leave you to die any better?
Sorry but you can hardly compare the two. I think it's safe to say that in most cases its "better" that a dog is abandoned in a park than having matchsticks poked in its eye.
Matchsticks in eyes... damage done.
Left in a park.... possible damage done, OR possibly get found by caring people and then have a much better life (read - what happened in this story).
Neither should happen, granted. But if I was a dog and had to choose between the two I know which one I'd want done to me.
Anyway back on track.... another one who is completely missing my point so let me make this clear before I become the resident animal cruelty promoter.....
I DO NOT THINK WHAT THESE PEOPLE HAVE DONE TO THESE ANIMALS IS ACCEPTABLE. IT IS DISGUSTING!!
I JUST DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THEY DESERVE TO BE PUT AT POSSIBILY SEVERE DANGER THEMSELVES.
THEY DESERVE TO BE PUNISHED, BUT NOT PHYSICALLY DAMAGED.
So.... I'm interested to know your take on it if it was somebody you know who had done something similar.
Sorry but if a mate of mine did that i'd be totally disgusted and certainly not pat them on the back.....
Obviously they don't deserve a pat on the back, maybe a punch on the back. But by lots of people, lots of times???
And once again..... I'm interested to know your take on it if it was somebody you know who had done something similar??
Beats by strangers?? Lynched??
And I'm sorry but like it or not, animals can not compare to humans. Compromising an animals safety does not deserve a human's safety being compromised.
A person severly provokes a dog and it mauls them... put the dog down.
A person severly aggrivates another person and gets beaten senseless..... put them in prison.
The differences are endless.
I guess my view was never going to go down well in a thread filled with dog lovers though.
