I saw a HORRIBLE thing today.

[gxavier]

I just got back from Salt Lake City, from the <a href="http://www.freakfest.net" target="_blank">FreakFest</a> annual lan party. And witnessed the most horrible, disgusting, inhumane thing I have ever seen.

Following beind a van on the way to the I-15, there was a black dog in the street, eating garbage or something. The van took notice, and SWERVED INTO THE DOG, HITTING IT. No this was no accident. The van MALICIOUSLY SWERVED SHARPLY into that poor dog. The dog's torso was crushed, and was doing that pitiful death dance around and around, wondering why its feet wouldn't move. The van hightailed off....I stopped. But the dog was dead in a matter of minutes.

I didn't get the license plate, but it wouldn't have done any good. No other witnesses.


Utah sucks. People suck.

Thankgod im back on base.


I hate people.

[Wayward Clam]

People do suck.

Pet the next dog you meet extra well.

For all the dead squirrels, raccoons, possoms, dogs, and cats I've seen on the road while never hitting any myself in all these years, I've often suspected that some wackos out there must be trying to hit them....I knew it had to be true but it still saddens me that you had to see the proof.....

[gxavier]

a few days ago, a few miles off base there were 5 dogs shot execution style. they were stolen off a vet clinic.

people here run over cats on purpose as well..i hear people gloat about it.

all the more reason to lock your animals inside.

[Renée]

Oh...my...god. I hope there's a special place in hell for those people.

Yeah, let me have a few minutes of their soon to be short time on planet earth...


A few many years ago, I was driving in Sac to the dumps, getting rid of a load a crap. Anyway, I going down a two lane highway with no one in sight but a squirrel in the middle of the road eating something...as I get closer and closer the squirrel just continues eating...so I move over to the left so that if he doesn't run, he'll be in the middle underneath my truck..well, as soon as I got about a yard away, he sticks his head up and I immidiatly hear a metallic BONK!! I slow down and look in review mirror and see squirrly going head over heals in the middle of the road....I got the hell outa there before he recovered...

I knew people didnt just suck that they were EVIL. Man I swear sometimes Hell does sound to good for some of these losers. The things a person can do are beyond what some people can comprehend. And thats when I think they should be wiped off the face of the earth. Death penalty should be mandatory in every state. Show them the same pity they did their victims.

And people wonder why some of us like artificial intelligence better than what passes for human...

Last summer, driving small nephews and nieces home from a visit with my wife and me, we saw a turtle trying to cross a two lane. Not much traffic, but they asked me to stop so they could help it cross the road, and get it out of trouble.

I backed up to get closer, got out with them, one car approaching from the other side. This "thing" driving the oncoming car, left his lane, and right there in front of the kids waiting for him to pass, ran the turtle over.

How do you explain that kind of evil to children?

From Proverbs, "The heart of man is desperately wicked, who can understand it?"

[Draggar]

Now THESE are the situations PETA should go out and protest.

But it seems they never do...

How hypocritical (sp?)...

My wife trains dogs, she's heard some really wierd things people do to their dogs to train it.

One man stated he uninates in his dog's food (while the dog is watching) to show dominance.
(No, to show dominance, you show them who's boss by giving them corrections when needed & rewards when needed)...

The only thing this guy got were dogs with liver problems later on in life & other illnesses in them.

[AlienDyne]

Horrible thing indeed!

Personally, I would follow that son of a bitch, stop him and start kicking his sick ***
till he threw up blood!!! Then I would kick him more and leave him there helpless!!
There are lots of weirdos, boneheads, loosers and sick people in this ****ty world.
No one would ever miss him!!

I'm really sorry for using such bad language, but when it hear something like that, I become
furious!

Animals are not less smart or capable than human. They just have the bad luck that human
rules this world!!!

Agreed. Final input on this from me. I've been training dogs for obedience competition for over twenty years now, and have seen all kinds of demonic behavior concerning people and animals.

Training is only acceptable and possible using a regimen of postive stimulus/reward. With corrections being very rare...and it is possible to train some wonderful dogs without negative stimulus! Your object is not to make the animal submit, but to want to do what is required.

I have on more than one occasion escorted "friends" out of my house after even minimal abuse of my dogs...and am proud to say that in the training kennel I go to, have seen even impatience of the owner be enough to get you booted!

Finally, it is no surprise to me that FBI profilers routinely include animal cruelty in the profile put together for serial killers. Although I do not place animals on the same level as humans... A lack of respect for any life, is a lack of respect for all life.

[Radical Dreamer]

I hate people that intentionally hurt animals for no reason, its just pure stupidity.

I had a guy in class when I was in high school that brought a "donation" jar in that had "Help me kill cats fund" written on it, and the bad thing was some people actually gave him money.

I love my kitty (4 month old 1/2 siamese named serge) anyone who touces him, even once is gonna get torn a new *******. He may be the spawn of satan(he's a mean little bugger, always biting me), but he's my kitty.

I was just going to post this factoid myself...it's been well established that there is a pretty small step from enjoying the torture and destruction of animals to--in search of ever greater thrills--killing humans....

Never should a mere mortal take the power of to cosmos into their hands. Those who do, I believe, will meet the same fate when their lives enter the eternal cycle.
