What is wrong with people?

[stanglover2001]

So... I just got off of craigslist, and you know how people flag pet postings all the time for reasons unknown to the poster? Well, under knoxville, tn's pets the top post was thanking the flaggers for flagging their posts, and in the post they had a picture of a dead dog with a gun shot through it's head and blood leaking onto the pavement and said thanks for flagging my ads, this is what happens because of flagging.

I think someone is demented, that was gross, and unnessecary.

I worked for the humane society once (acctually twice... thats a diff story), and gotten a phone call from a woman with 6 large breed mixed puppies that she couldn't take care of, she insisted that we needed to take them in or they'd be shot in the head... seriously? the pound down the street will take them, which I told her this and she refused... because it wasn't a no kill shelter.....

You tend to want to call those types of people "animals"...but then that's an insult to the animal kingdom!

Karma...it will bite you back! What is wrong with these "people"...So sad..you can only imagine what that poor dog's life was like with them prior to his death...One day...so disturbing!

Call the local news show, news paper, police, animal rights groups, etc,... that IP address can be traced and the owner charged. At least get a fuss raised!

Without knowing the whole story its hard to judge. Was this someone who was desperate to place their dog? Maybe lost their home or going into hospital. Should they have dump dog on streets to slowly strave.

We have several Pitts that we have rescued.
One of the best one's we ever had we named her Dee-Lila, we live out in the country and my DH and DD was following a car on our road to get home and the car in front rolled down his window and threw a paper bag out the window into the bar ditch and sped away. That looked fishy to my DH and he stopped and looked in the sack and there was a 6 week old pup. He brought her home and she had a very good life until she crossed the rainbow bridge.

On another note, my neighbor has bird dogs, not a good mix with chickens. He had an older one and a chocolate pup. They kept coming over and jumping my hotwire fence to get into my duck yard. They would do this with me in the pen. They didn't know any better they were trained to hunt. I took them home and asked him nicely (the dogs didn't hurt anybody) to keep them off my property. The little one was wagging his tail with duck feathers hanging out of his mouth. He didn't grab a duck, he picked the feathers up off the ground like pups will do.
My DH saw him about a month later and asked where the pup was and he said bluntly, I shot him. I didn't want him to kill your livestock.

He has a HUGE pen, HUGE for his dogs and instead of putting them in there he shot the pup. So now I dont tell him. The oldest one CJ still comes over and eats eggs.....so instead of telling on her I doctored her up some really HOT eggs, she hasn't been back since.

I have not read all the posts yet....but no you take it to the animal shelter....so it can be given a chance to find a home. If NOT then it is humanly euthanized not a blast to the head.

It may have been a picture of the web that someone posted to make a point. They may not have shot the dog.

If they did shoot the dog, that is awful but people have done some pretty awful things to make a point.
