As some of you may know, I'm an Animal Control Officer (not an offical sworn one, but that just means I can give people tickets). For the most part the job is fine. Someone's dog running loose? Threaten to fine them $50. Someone got bit? Fill out a bite report and quarantine the animal for 10 days...
But sometimes you encounter real sickos in this job, like I had too today. Around 5:30pm I get a call from my brother who is over at his friend's house across the road about a stray dog who is pretty bad off. "No problem." I think, probably just skinny and flea-bitten. Boy was I wrong. 
When I pulled up and got out of the car, I could tell immediately something wasn't right with this dog. As I got closer, my stomach lurched at what I saw. The dog's collar had been on so tight, that over time, had torn away the fur, skin (epidermis and dermis, and had dug into the flesh of the dog's neck, leaving an open, bloody wound across the back of his neck.
As if that weren't bad enough, I come to find out from my brother and his friend that they saw a green Ford pickup toss the dog out, abandoning it, and speeding off. Well by this time I had a mixture of emotions, ranging from pity, disgust, rage, and misanthropy.
Well I cut the collar off the dog, and put him in the back of my county truck and went 65 down the highway to the Emergency Vet in Havelock where they had about the same reaction as me (Ironic sidenote, as you walk into the vet, there's this big picture on the wall with a drawing and a Gandhi quote: "The moral development of a society can be judged by the way it treats its animals."). We eventually had to put the dog down, which was probably the best choice, considering how he was suffering, and also how it would have taken him a really long time to . He was a real friendly border collie mix, who despite how he'd been treated, was constantly wagging his tail at me, the vet techs and the DVM on duty.
I really hope we find the bastard who treated his dog this way, because he'll have a few less teeth after I'm through with him.
That's horrible. That kind of abuse is just...well fuck, I don't have words to use right now. Sadly though I doubt the person will be caught, since animal abuse isn't a priority for man-time. 
I'm at a total loss for words... How can someone be that cruel...
just... jesus fuck...

Some good news: We found the bastard who did this to the dog, and as soon as we build a case against him we're going to prosecute him to the full extent of the law.
Good to hear. Bastards who do shit like this deserve to burn in the fiery pits of hell, pierced through the arse with a white-hot poker, slowly being turned over a roaring fire.
Poor doggy though. Doubly sad since the next dog I get I want to be a border collie.
I'm glad you found the bastard that did that. Was the wound really so bad you had to put the dog down? It seems like it wasn't really feeling that much pain once you cut the collar off if it was happy and wagging its tail at you.

You think that's bad? In Akron, they recently arrested several people for strapping fireworks to live stray cats then lighting them.
There was resently a case where two college boys strapped an m-1000 on a rabbit, lit the fuse and tossed it in a lake. (luckaly defeating the purpose)
Hopefully this guy will get smacked for what he did to the poor dog.
Still always, Not-Dude.

Some dogs will wag their tails and bee happy no matter what happens to them. Like my old man's dog Dillon. Even when he is being diciplined he will wag his tail, or the time he and our other dog got into a scrape and his eyelid was all cut up and bleeding, we was still all happy and wagging his tail.

This is true. Our lab got cut up by broken glass so bad she needed stitches.
Trying to get her to stop chasing the ball long enough to get her to the vet was a trip... It didn't seem to bother her. She would run around, wag her tail and want the ball to be thrown...
I agree it's bad and wrong, but don't go acting like you can go kill a person because they treated an animal poorly.

He was a tailwagger from the moment I pulled up. The vet at the clinic said that his injury is correctable, but would have costs buttloads of money on surgery and anti-biotics. Plus the fact that this dog weighed only about 30 pounds which was VERY underweight for a dog his breed and size. You could literally see his ribs poking against his skin. If that's not much of an image for you, I could have taken my thumbs and middle fingers on both hands and formed a circle around his waist with my fingers touching. Very pitiful.
I just think it's lame to pretend to be an internet badass and wish him dead.

I don't see anyone mentioning killing said guy either. I see "deserves a special place in hell" and "deserves a slow death", but no mention of "I'll kill him". Sure, some people would want to beat the crap out of him...but not kill him. Why do you have to point that out when I'm sure everyone knew that anyway?

I believe you mentioned KILLING a person, not beating the shit out of a person. Two totally different things.
And no, I wasn't trying to be some "internet badass", but a guy like that does deserve to get smacked around -- had that been your dog, I know for damn sure you'd wanna beat the hell out of the guy. But nowhere did anyone mention killing.

I said wishing someone dead. Wishing someone to hell? That's close.
But I also mentioned threatening real life violence. Go read my posts, then read your posts. You have no case here.

Actually, said person would only go to hell after death.
And I'm not TRYING to have a case in the whole violence part -- I'm simply saying that noone wished death on someone. I was replying to your first post anyways, not the one where you mentioned about threatening real life violence. Had you meant real life violence in the first post, you should have said it in the first post. And still wondering why you had a need to even point it out (other than to be an ass about something, which you haven't done lately.)

Have we sunk so low so as to assume anyone with a differing opinion that doesn't cover it with a smurfy fresh attitude is just doing it to be an ass?
If you want to cry and weep because I think that snarling and spitting and pretending to be tough online is a lame display, go right ahead. I didn't do anything wrong here except state my opinion. You were free to take it or leave it.
You chose to argue with it.

No, you were telling other people how to act:

Stating your opinion would have included adding words such as "I think it is stupid..." as opposed to issuing a command to people (which is what you did.) You chose to force your opinion on others, thinking that it is the only single way to act. Notei n particular the way Mod stated his opinion.
I doubt anyone here is foolish enough to think they could actually go do this and get away with it. It is just another way of expressing extreme displeasure with an action Falaanla Marr fucked around with this message on 08-02-2004 at 07:50 PM.

Wow, you're really not doing too well on this.
Go find me a thread where I responded to anything serious by shitting in a sock drawer. Go find where I said I'd shit in Drysart's sock drawer because I don't agree with his political views. Go find where I said I'd shit in a child molestor's sock drawer so he'd know how I felt about his methods.
Give it up.
