At the very least, the courts should put tattoos on their foreheads saying that they are never allowed to own dogs again.
Let me guess: they’re mostly pit bulls.
effing bassturds, they ought to be tied to trees the next hurricane and left to fend for themselves
I agree with you.
.
As for Belle Glade, about the same. Fewer than half of the households with children had married parents both present. These are folks who just have a dog for security, or dog fighting. They aren't pet-owners.
If pointing this out makes me a racist, I'm sorry, but I just don't care anymore.
Nor do I disagree with you.
I am in total agreement with you! This is the among the cruelest acts of animal abuse perpetrated by a pet owner! Theses owners should be on a registry that prohibits them from ever owning an animal again.
“Tied to trees and cars” leads me to think the people were planning that the dogs would defend their property.
Most Glades residents would fit in at an Obama family reunion. It also would not surprise me if the dogs were not family pets but ones used for fighting.
I would bet its because some muslims protested about dogs being accepted at the shelters.
Lowlife scum, every one.
How ANYONE who has a dog can just leave their pet tied to a tree knowing they will probably drown I will NEVER understand. We recently lost our pup Nemo to pulmonary hypertension we did EVERYTHING under the sun to save his life but were unsuccessful, Id gladly take any of these pups left abandoned by their “Owners” and I say that loosely. If they could no longer take care of them or had no where to go themselves they could have taken these animals to an animal shelter, not leave them to die alone
Most people on this forum, myself included, would agree with you.
Two rules for pets in my family.
1. We do not leave family behind.
2. We do not eat family.
And yes they are nonhuman members of the family.
I dunno about that...could be fake news at work here.
With you on that!
Cleveland nonkill shelter took unadopted dogs and cats from some Florida shelters in advance of the hurricane to give them room for these kinds of things. Wish I could remember the name of the shelter. It was awesome.
Where can they take the pets? I don’t think owners can take them to shelters with them.
For the life of me I cannot understand the thought process of anyone even thinking about doing this. Why on earth would people like this even want to have animals?
I have a lot of critters, we don’t live where there are hurricanes but we did have to deal with wild land fire a few years ago. We gathered critters- horses, dogs, cats...and honestly could not get them all...felt so bad we had to leave an old blind horse and a donkey in the pasture because they just lost their mind and we could not catch them. At that point flames were coming across the pasture. We did leave all the gates open and that donkey led that blind horse out of there to safety. That was truly amazing. If no other options please don’t leave them penned, tied, or otherwise contained and unable to even try to save themselves.
They depend on us so we have to do our very best even in an emergency. We even tried to go back for the horse and donkey after getting everyone and all the other critters out of the fire and to safety but by then firefighters would not let us go back. It was a major relief to find them after the fire was out and realize the donkey had to lead that blind horse out of there.
