hers Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 link removed This is just so sad. Dogs are such incredible creatures. I can't believe this. I'm so glad to see that they both survived and that they are probably going to recover fine. I just hope they get better homes next time! Link to comment
Furtive Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I like dogs better than I like most people. This is a sad story, and it makes me bitter and angry, though at least this case had a somewhat happy ending. I wish animal cruelty laws would be updated and people would face much more severe penalties. I don't care how desperate a person or people are, there's no need to abandon animals like this. There are better, more humane ways, even if it means the dog being put down because it cannot find an adoptive home. To be perfectly honest, anyone that causes harm to an animal is most likely an evil person - just lock them away for life and be done with it. (Abuse is what I'm referring to, I'm perfectly fine with humane slaughter, and I'm ok with hunting within regulations (type of guns, caliber, etc.)so the animals don't suffer.) Link to comment
hers Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 I never used to be an animal person. When Iw as a kid, I was actually quite mean to animals. I regret it so much and still am plagued with the memories of things I used to do. I bought my last dog from a breeder, not realizing there were shelters and rescues out there. It wasn't until someone heard me talking about how I couldn't wait to buy another dog that they took it upon themselves to tell me about animal overpopulation and rescues. Ive been changed ever since and rescued our current dog. I love dogs so very much and I just can't believe someone would ever do this. I also think there should be stricter laws regarding animal cruelty. Link to comment
Flyingpiglet Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Aw poor puppies.... People who do these things should have the same treatment done to them! To hell with human rights... What about animals rights! I would go without food myself before neglecting my pooch!!! Link to comment
hers Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 I would go without food myself before neglecting my pooch!!! Same here. When my boxer was sick with cancer, she had to have a diet of chicken and rice. I was so out of money by then and struggling so hard. She had chicken and rice each meal and i had Ramen. I'd do it again, too. Link to comment
Generation Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 That's a handsome dog! Glad he's alright! The sad thing is that these types of animal abuse issues are common. Negligence is so common, and people are so stupid. Lots of times, the dogs are suffering from multiple diseases such as demodex coupled with malnutrition and other parasites that honestly euthanasia would probably be the most humane thing if it gets too far, and that's just a horrible fate. I wish animal cruelty laws would be updated and people would face much more severe penalties. Especially considering our animal cruelty laws are like 100 years old. What I want to know is why didn't neighbors do anything sooner? So stupid! Link to comment
Seraphim Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 It is like the case of a poor Shepard I saw on TV. His choke collar had grown into his neck with the skin partially over it. They society workers that rescue him and the vet said you could smell the rotten skin as soon as he walked in the door that is how bad it was. As soon as he had that surgery they had to do another because he had eaten another cloth and plastic collar and it had grown into his intestines!!! The vet surgeon took 8 hours to go through the dog's intestine inch by inch to extract the fibers. This poor dog lived and got well!!! He also got a new owner. Some pet owners are truly disgusting and deserve to be in jail. If people can not look after an animal why not surrender it to a shelter? Link to comment
Crazyaboutdogs Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Where I live the laws against animal cruelty are very lax so there are always stories of puppy mills being raided and the appalling conditions the dogs have had to live in. It is very sad. Link to comment
OptomisticGirl Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 This is just disgusting. I'm a cat lover but ANY animal abuse is just appaling and we don't have sufficient laws to protect our furry babies. Link to comment
PhilliesFan001 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Another vote for laws and penalties being stricter - people don't seem to take animal abuse as seriously as they should. Some people should never be allowed near them. Link to comment
scared and alone Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Ugh this is why I hate most people. but thank god the dogs are recovering. Poor things And god bless those taking care of these poor babies DON'T GET A PET IF YOU DO NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEM. Link to comment
HeartGoesOn Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hers...I've followed this story, and wanted to post a brief update. In addition to gaining 15 lbs, Molly has fully recovered and has been adopted by a local family, and is doing great! Link to comment
hers Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 Oh I'm so glad! I hadn't seen an update. Is Molly the one who jumped? What about the puppy who was in there with her? Link to comment
HeartGoesOn Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 "Miracle" is the one that jumped, ( sorry, I mistakenly called her Molly,) and the four month old puppy, "Gracie" is doing well, and in foster care at the moment. These stories are so heartbreaking, yet all in all, it had a happy ending! Link to comment
hers Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 Thank you so much for the update. I still can't imagine that poor dogs desperation but I am glad they're both doing better. Link to comment
Flyingpiglet Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I'm so glad for the happy ending... If only every case had a happy ending! Thanks for the updates! Link to comment
