Agreed. I believe that if you take the responsibility for owning a pet, you take the responsibility all the way to the end.

I have no anger towards people who cannot care for a pet for a variety of reasons, and take it to a shelter, because that happens.

But I despise and detest someone who would just turn a domesticated pet out into the outdoors. I can think of few crueler things.

I was a military dependent, and when I lived in Yokosuka, Japan, there were a huge amount of feral dogs, dogs that had been just let go by military personnel as they rotated out. I got attacked by a pack of about forty of them once, but that is another story...

When I lived in the Philippines, you never saw any feral dogs or cats where I lived on the base, and it only occurred to me later why: the domesticated cats and dogs didn’t stand a chance against the Philippine wildlife, huge snakes that could eat pigs, monitor lizards, wild boars, you name it. They didn’t have anything like that in Japan.

We had to have our cat and dog put down when we left the Philippines to go back to the states. There was no choice, we couldn’t bring them back with us, and we couldn’t find anyone to take them in. We hated my Mom and Dad for a period of time for doing it, but...what could they do?

Yes, thank you, I did see this. I live not too far from Brenham. Lots of displaced city people out there or should I say country want to bes. Nice places. Pretty nice town with a small college.

Some on here thought I was making things up but I was just repeating the news.

Yep. I understand that unforeseen events happen in life and animals have to be given up. We have multiple rescue organizations here ( I donate to them, and food banks, and VFC, and VAS, and on and on), and there is an outlet for these crisis events. I just can't figure out the mentality of the people who drop of a domesticated animal in the wilds. This is one of my hot buttons over the years.

I just can't accept these people making it my problem. I have enough problems with the local wildlife and government taxes on my land.

What is worse here, is finding there are some Freepers who are sadists without conscience. I was surprised at the number who gave the thumbs up and admitted to doing the same. It is a very fine line between animals and people when it comes to human behavior.

I don't want these types to ever have my back.

That photo kills me. Holding the poor dead cat with a big s###-eating grin on her face. She finds it amusing? I hope she loses every penny she’s got.

Agreed. Sadly, there are some people who think cats are fair game for any type of sadistic behavior, no matter how cruel.

Ah well. You see it in all walks of life...

"...bathe her and bring her to me. After the initial flea and tick examination, I will proceed to inquire rather intensely, with subtle threats for her personal well being, as to why she found so much glee in what she determined a final solution"
