What is wrong with people?

DampDog · 7 Jan 2020 at 16:49

Well my members name drew me to this one. Just what the **** is wrong with people?

Like most folk, I think you become numb to constant stream of heartache that the media bombards you with. However this caught my eye and you have to wonder what on earth would motivate anyone to do this sort of thing.

It sounds like the police have already arrested the culprits. It begs the question what should you do with scumbags like this?

Shoot them (the humans), if you no longer want a dog you can leave it at the pound no excuse for this.

Amnesia · 7 Jan 2020 at 16:53

The same thing you should do to scumbags who attack other people for no reason...prison.
i do find it strange that people seem to care more about dogs being attacked than humans though.

Something that causes lots of pain followed by death would seem appropriate.

Also, strong username to post content correlation.

Dogs need us to look after them like a child and are trusting that is probably why and nearly all dogs are better than most humans.

Yah, it contrasts sharply against this story. Looks like the owner is struggling or has fallen on hard times, but still does the best they can manage. What a difference in someones outlook on the world.

Fixed my typos you quoted (trying to eat with one hand and type with clean hand) lol.

Humans have the propensity to suck.

Kill them. Simple.

A penal colony somewhere unpleasant like the old French Devil’s Island.

If that’s too expensive, just drop them down one of the many disused mine shafts the UK has.

Heartbreaking. Should put behind bars for animal cruelty.

It's more than that though. I'm sure we've all made poor decisions now and again, and when we look back we may have done things differently. But but the level of needless cruelty just makes you think these folk are so damaged they are not worth saving.

Conscript · 7 Jan 2020 at 17:08

Got angry at this when I read about it yesterday. Now I'm angry again.

I've said before, I'm not an advocate of capital punishment, but stories like this almost sway my opinion. Scumbags.

Kelt · 7 Jan 2020 at 17:15

Do the same to them, see how they like it.

In all honesty tho, I have no idea. You could probably spend your entire life trying to figure out the cause. How people can become capable of this.

There doesn't have to be an obvious trigger. People can just end up monsters. And frankly nobody is more deserving of the title "monster" than those wilfully inflicting cruelty on animals, for the purposes of their own enjoyment.

They say cruelty to animals is an early sign of psychopathy or as I call it pathological selfishness.

Some people have no empathy for others or animals. They can't be trusted.

Maybe start doing to them what they do to others and they might at least be faced with the result of their own actions.

Gray2233 · 7 Jan 2020 at 18:54

Absolutely disgusting.

That poor animal, I hope she finds a good home after all of this.

Rroff · 7 Jan 2020 at 18:55

Some people society might have put them in clothes, taught them to walk upright but really they've not evolved passed animal - never lift their head up, never look at the bigger picture or have any interest in learning from their experiences of their own accord.

Uther · 7 Jan 2020 at 19:00

I will never understand someone who could even contemplate doing this to an animal, nor do I want to.
