Feel kind of bad after i did this but i think the guy deserves it.. just venting a little i guess.

I was born here but my parents moved to St.Vincent (caribbean) when i was 3 and lived there till i was 15 then we came back permanently. Whilst there i had a dog from age 11 to when we left, gave him to family friends. When he was 2yrs old someone apparently took a disliking to him and shot him in the back with a rifle at some distance, the tough sob crawled home and collapsed outside.. the vet said he'd never seen something like that, the bullet luckily missed vital organs and his spine, just. Took a few weeks and a lot of nursing but he was as good as new. Fast foward another 15 yrs, i know my boy is dead but somehow he came up in convo with a friend, he mentioned he knew who did it and they only did it for fun as they disliked my dad, the dog was not troubling anyone. Apparently my parents knew as well but never told me for fear i'd do something stupid.

Heard from the friend that the guy is now about 67 and bedridden, wheelchair bound and somedays not quite there. I was angry though, so angry i told another mate from there to pass on my regards and a little message "guess unlike my dog, you're never gonna get up again, die slowly"
:(

Feel bad but ffs he shot my dog. Wish i hadn't done it but feel conflicted about the whole thing.. thoughts?
 
Do i have to post a serious answer cos if so then that's not fair.

Serious answer ... wtf ???

Joke answer lol wtf?!
 
Do you think your friend will actually pass the message along? I wouldn't if i were him.

He's still a ******* for shooting your dog, so i feel your comment was justified even if he never gets to hear it
 
If you're looking for justification from us then you're doing life wrong. But yes, i think i would have done something similar. Nobody does that to a dog.
 
I have no time for people who are cruel to animals and don't see it as being any more morally acceptable as being cruel to kids.

If it makes you feel better, I'm just as glad at this man's predicament as you.
 
Still pretty damn harsh to screw with an old man's life like that. Or what's left of it.

I'd probably forgive in the end...being wheelchair bound and demented is punishment enough, let alone the mental torture you could give him in his last days by saying stuff like that.
 
Whilst he's a horrible man for shooting a dog, I don't think I could have directed a message like that to an old man (I doubt your friend will tell him anyway), especially after 15 years. It looks like he's getting enough punishment as it is.

If it had only just happened, then my feelings would be pretty different, but after that length of time I'd probably remain silently angry.

I hope his friend did tell him, screw him age doesnt come into it

The length of time will only add to his guilt !
 
Justified. Anyone believing in karma might say he got what he deserved. Your friend clearly didn't give him the message...I'd pass it on yourself, maybe throw in a sinister cackle at the end for good measure :D
