Just wrong tbh...

But they didn't run away, did they? Completely inexcusable. Even if they were scared of dogs kicking it in the head is not how you deal with the situation, unless perhaps you perceive a real danger of serious injury to yourself which from a jack russell puppy (have you seen how small they are) is not likely.

There is a thread on the main board today in which 90% of posters seem to be saying it's ok to stab a teenage burgler to death because your scared and you do irrational things when scared, but this thread is totally the oposite purely becuase the dead thing is a cute puppy not an asbo dodgging thief.

I'm not saying it's right or wrong I have no idea I wasn't there I don't know the kid who's kicked the dog but I have not read anywhere convincing evidence that he set out to kill the dog for no reason.

If your willing to let your dog off the lead in a public place and allow it to run upto total strangers you have to face upto the fact the people will react differently and every now and then you'll get an extreme reaction. If someone was on here saying they let there kid wonder upto some random strangers in the park and something bad happened you'd all be saying 'why would you let your kids approach strangers'.
 
We can't tell what the situation was or the intentions of the person who kicked it.

It could well be the dog was running at them barking and he just kicked it to get it away (some people have an irrational fear of all dogs).

Or he could have seen it coming at him and taken a good kick at it square in the face.

Only thing you can say for sure is you should keep your dog on a lead in a public space if you can't control it (and who can control an untrained puppy?)

Come on man be realistic here,

The situation is a group of punks saw a 10 wk old puppy and 1 of them decided to boot it in the head.

What teenager would be afriad of a 10 week puppy, we arn't talking about a fully grown dog here.

Even if it was barking, a single blow to the head fracturing its skull and killing it isn't someone afraid, it is a sickening retaliation.

There are to many silly comments going on all beginning with "we don't know the situation" when in some circumstances there is slim to none chance of it being any other way.

It is a sickening attack and the person involved should be in prison for it.

No, this thread is completely diferent as the intentions of the offender are likely to be vastly different. One is a guy trying to steal your property, one is an inquisitive puppy.
 
Makes me sick. :mad:

On a similar note, I caught some hooded morons trying to kick my dog when he was in my back garden. Didn't end well... for the hooded morons considering my dog is a german sheppherd and is absolutely HUGE.
 
My guess is this youth put his foot out to push the pup away and lost his balance. Despite the fact that there are a lot of morons out there I think this was an accident - I find it hard to believe that anyone would have the intention to deliberately kill a puppy in this way.

No, silly comments are the one line shock and disgust jeremy kyle style responses.

Seriously, how many more times is "my blood boils" going to be quoted today?

Oh and he won't go to prison for it, it's a dog for gods sake.

Ahem, I think you will find that technically it is *blood boils* that is being quoted :p

I cannot believe some of the comments here :/

Its a ****ing dog. Sure animals dying is not pleasant, but for the love of God keep some perspective on the matter.

Terrible, cruelty to animals sends a rage through me like no other.

Sentence the offender to death by kicks to the head.

Fair's fair, come on!

That's just sick if I ever see anyone attacking a defensless animal without provokation in this manner I'd do the same to the person making the attack see how they'd like it.

are worrying.


I will be quite honest, I have a real fear of dogs. I had a bad experience of them when I was young, and to be honest if a dog ran up to me, I honestly don't know what I would do.

It could be that they were merely louts (I love the way some people here think wearing a hoody is enough to condemn them :rolleyes:) who killed a dog for no reason, but the fact is that dogs ARE a menace, and the fact its unfair to have a dog running around unrestrained means I cannot make a definitive judgement based on biased reporting.

Come on man, a much much smaller percentage of dogs are a menace than people are. Certainly not a 10 week old puppy! Also it seems like the dog wasnt wandering around uncontrolled but made a bit of a run for it whilst the owner put it down to tuck her trouser leg into her boots. Either way given my opinion in the burglar thread i cant say that the boy who did this wasnt acting out of an extreme fear and defending himself. Applying occam's razor to it though........probably just another chav in the park noising up society.

I respect your opinion though even if it is possibly one based on fear. What you have to remember with others responses is that people form extremely deep relationships with their pet dogs so to hear tales like this does really emotionally effect people, hence some of the replies which you're referencing.
