heartless person

[waterdog101]

why do people treat animals like this. if this person was healthy and treated these dogs like this for no reason other than not caring, they need to be tied to the same tree, and given the same treatment. it takes a heartless person to do an animal this way. http://www.ohmidog.com/2011/12/29/re...#comment-31513

I'm with you there man. Any pet that depends on the owner to feed, shelter and love them and then gets this treatment deserves to be punished. Sounds like this loser is getting away with it but one day good old karma will catch up with him.

ok I am going to be a woman right now and tell you that stories like this with horrible abuse of pets makes me cry I do not understand how any sick SOB can treat a dog or cat or any pet with such cruelty. I mean it would be more humane to put a bullet in their head so they could die quickly not like this. My vet said starvation and illness untreated are the worst and most painful ways an animal can die. I think the Clint Eastwood would come out of me if I ever met up with the person who does this stuff to animals. I think the police would have to be called cuz I would have a hard time controlling my temper. They deserve to be charged and serve some jail time for cruelty of animals. Is that not an offense down there???

I know this is a TN related story but a little known fact is Kentucky ranks at the bottom of the heap as far as animal cruelty laws. Yep ranked 50th


Another story.

I hate people that are cruel to animals. I'd like to see Bubba be cruel to them after they are thrown in jail.

I got a buddy that weighs 258lbs and really isn't fat. Got about a half can of mean in him sometimes to. He broke his neighbor from kicking his pretty sheppard all the time.

He told him out in the back yards across the fence one day after he had seen enough that if he didn't quit kicking that dog in his stomach and head that he was gonna come over the fence and kick him some. After some tense moments it calmed down, About three days later the guy asked him if he was serious the other day and he said you **** right, you can't treat animals like that and if you don't want that pretty dog let me have him. The guy quit doing that stuff to the dog and thanked my buddy eventually in the end for showing him the errors of his ways.

Good story.....Mark he was prolly saying thanks for not stomping me in the ground!!!
I never had to get "red" on anyone but have talked a few folks into better ways of teaching dogs. Got one guy to read the Dog Whisperer book and he has a much different approach on how to see dogs as dogs not humans. Once people realize that they actually have a dog that has to have a leader who they respect and look to for survival they really do become a great companion.

Yea Don this is very out of character for this guy because he's very easy going. That is how I knew it had to be bad or he wouldn't have done that.

A little physical scolding isn't bad with a dog once and awhile but there is a right and a wrong way to do it..

Yup, same with kids, as I think Elwood said, firm, fair and consistent.

Good time for a thread like this.

How do y'all feel about coyotes?

I was in the back yard with my daughter's little Jack Russell/Poodle puppy last night about dark. She was just running around having a good time when 2 German Shepard sized coyotes came loping across the yard headed for the woods.

One turned, lowered it's head and made a beeline for the little dog. I ran straight at it hollering at the top of my lungs, and it turned away about 20 feet from snapping up a quick meal.

My first inclination is to do some backyard still hunting with a long gun. Haven't hunted since I was a teenager, and don't relish the idea of shooting anything, but I just can't have coyotes coming up in the yard.

The way I got it figured 2 or more of them together is fatal to anything small, and dangerous to anything medium sized that happens to be in the yard.

Last couple of years I've heard a pack of them at night in the woods behind, and out the fields in front of the house. Godawful racket that makes my hackles rise.

Prolly wouldn't have to nail but one or 2, and they'd stay away (I hope).

Is it legal to shoot coyotes? Am I over reacting? Anybody else dealt with something like this?

Looks like I'm trying to hijack your thread. Sorry.

I'll start another one.

I like animals. I dont hunt anymore, I'm not against it,just dont do it nanymore.My pet, be it a dog, or cat, depends on me to look after it.If a coyote or bob cat present, I feel it would be a danger to my pet, and I do have the right to protect my property.I also think some people should NOT be allowed to own animals, of any kind.We were given domimion over some animals, dominion does not mean abuse.

No need, I'll tie the 2 together. Not protecting your pets, I think, would be a form of cruelty to them. The tread raises a good point. Protecting the welfare of your pets doesn't make you cruel for sending a coyote to the promised land. And I think a good clean kill shot is far more humane then a trap.

I don't hunt, not an animal rights thing, just don't like doing all the walking and freezing my butt off. But or Butt........If a predator of any type hits my back yard, I'm turning Rambo on it.
