This makes me sick

Things like this just make me sick. It's bad enough that we do this kind of stuff to our own kind...

Just had to vent.

    You want to hear something even sicker? I know a guy that grew up in Mexico and his wife told me that when he was a kid all the local kids would drown puppies for fun at 6-10 years old... I'm a serious dog lover and I just couldn't imagine... WTF?!?!

    Human is a more dangerous species than dog. May be it should be us who should be handcuffed & on chains rather than dogs being muzzled & on leads.

    About a year or two ago, near where I live, there was an incident of animal cruelty. Apparently some kids (they presumed, no one was ever caught), took an older womans dog, that was "friendly to everyone," and tied it to some railroad tracks...

    They got what they were hoping for, which was a freight train...

    I had always hoped that if they caught the sh**heads who did this, that someone would tie them to the same tracks and walk away...

    I have two cats and a dog, the dog came from a rescue agency in the area, and she's the sweetest little mutt. Loves everyone, barks like a maniac outside and people and dogs walking by, but will be your friend for life if you pet her.

    I think an "eye for an eye" punishment system might curb some animal cruelty, but then all the "bleeding hearts" will start screaming about "cruel and unusual punishment."

    The key work is "punishment." Frankly, I think that sheriff down south, with the "work camp" prisons has the right idea...

    I'll just get off my soapbox now....

    I really hope this turns out to be a hoax. Those kids still need some sort of psychiatric help for burning that dog. Their actions are still quite sick.

    I live in Tulsa. I was shocked to read that article, however, I must inform you all that this story was a fabricated hoax. Six puppies did not die, however some kids were questioned about abuse to the black lab shown in that article. There was still animal abuse.

    This was a shock to follow that link and find out it was in my own home town. That probably doesn't give it a good impression to a lot of people, but I can tell you that most people here love animals. There's always a few bad apples out there to mess things up.

    Here is the article...

    Buggspussy and Visual,
    I'd love for you say such things in the presence of people like myself who feel otherwise. Your asenine remarks would lead to alot of hospital time, I can assure you.

    I felt physically sick while reading that. I hope the offenders go to jail for many years.

    I'm sick over this. What we need to do is catch the people who did this and put a M80 in there mouth!!! I don't care if its a 10 year old kid or a 90 old man. An eye for an eye.
