NT News ^ | Sept 11, 2010 | Annie Sanson

A TERRITORY girl is lucky to be alive after she was mauled by a savage dog.

Seven-year-old Meg Croton and her brother Connor, 9, had been feeding their family's dog - an eight-year-old mastiff cross - in their Humpty Doo back yard when the girl was attacked by the vicious hound.

"I tripped on a rock and fell, and I think I kicked his leg," Meg recalled the attack. "And then it hurt very badly and he was on top of me and ripped on my head. "But my brother saved my life."

>So from wishing to kill dogs you dislike to killing people you dislike how far of a stretch is it?
Infinite.

It is a stretch beyond the bounds of the garment we call the heavens.

It is an immeasurable gulf.<

If you are correct, then why is it that study after study show that serial killers of human beings torture and kill animals before moving on to human victims?

Eaker sometimes you get real close.

She ain’t simply wrong.

She’s simple wrong.

See the difference? It’s subtle but it’s there.

Please... I thought you above this sort of thing.

We were doing so well...

OK. It is one thing, for me, trying to be nice, to ignore a dozen total changes in the topic.

This one you won't get my smile.

You know damned well he has not advocated for the TORTURE of Animals. That is an absolutely baseless assault on dignity.

Nor have I. Nor has ANYONE.

I defy you to produce a post where such has been directly offered as a course of desired action.



You absolutely know what you are doing. And based on our exchanges are highly intelligent, so WHY post this? WHY?

Why set up a strawman that does not exist just to harass a FReeper?

Jollies? You people "getting" something out of this? I hope to hang around just long enough to learn what it is, then ERADICATE it.

You are so pathetically full of yourself and yes, I would stand back to back with you anytime.

Even if you hate my little BC thing.

LOL

Those are nasty looking injuries.

The world is a dangerous place and bad things happen to people, especially kids. I have scars and deformities that would make you gasp in horror, yet I still don't hate dogs, baseball bats, belt buckles, cars, boiling hot water, fire, blades, cigarettes, electrical current, ....

I will answer your bogus non sequitur.

The reason is, those people cannot tell the VALUE of a human life. They see animals and humans as the same. Sometimes they even see humans as lessor.

Why is it most "animal lovers" are PRO ABORTION?

Oh, I don't hate it. I just snicker at it a bit.

I would stand back to back with you anytime.

Likewise, Brother.

But I would throw clods at Orly Taitz... ;-)

See, everyone? This is how different factions can unite.

And throw clods at Orly Taitz. ;-)

Unless she is going to give someone a piece of her mind.

I think you might be confused with THIS diddy.

Piece of my HEART.

I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby, (break a..)
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah. (have a..)
Hey! Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, yeah.
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,

Posting family pics now?

Your mom is going to be mad!

Note, everyone is reading the posts that you are trying to ignore and know that you are doing so because you cannot address them. No one thinks you are trying to ignore an individual but do know that you are carrying an unloaded gun. Your armory as meager as it was when you started with your nonsense is now empty.

Why don’t you address post# 445 or do us all a favor and shut the hell up?

Provide a cite. If you cannot then you are agreeing that you have just posted another lie.

(Note that is cite not site.)

Orly put on a good show but was plain incompetent.

RachelFaith is part of her spawn?

Absolutely not.

I am no birther, truther, tin foil hat wearing, conspiracy believer.

People choose. YOU and YOU alone are responsible for YOU and YOU alone.

There is no such thing as a secret in politics.

There is no such thing as an accident either.

We have no time for such silly nonsense when we are close to a 100+ seat Tsunami !!

sorry, you made it clear you care nothing about my opinions and I have not addressed any of my posts to you. In turn, I don't care about what you have to say to me either.
Have a good evening.

You may quietly exit and I won’t tell anybody. The thread has gotten so bad it’s been moved to the Smoky Backroom. LOL

Rachel. I did not suggest FOG has advocated torturing animals. Talk about strawmen. Let’s look at what I said. I said that studies show serial killers, not FOG, start out with the torture AND killing of animals before they ever kill their first human.

You stated that killing people was way and above killing dogs. While I agree totally, I also know that those who kill animals without reason (for food, clothing, to protect themselves and so forth) are more likely to move on to the murder of human beings.

Now as for our friend FOG, he has called for the destruction of dogs for no reason other than he dislikes a certain type. Doesn’t matter if that individual animal is a vicious monster or if it’s the gentle companion seen on the Little Rascals series. Doesn’t make one bit of difference to him. God gave us stewardship over animals. God did not mean for us to go about wantonly killing any of His creatures, but we are to use them for our needs.

I do not think there is one person on this thread that would choose a dumb animal over a little child. Not one. That said, I realize that dogs in and of themselves are not monsters. PEOPLE who want aggressive dogs mold the animals into anti-social, dangerous creatures. Those individuals need to be held responsible if their animals put others in harm’s way.

Can’t Google that huh, PETA boy?

Not only are you completely irrelevant and unable to formulate a logical argument, but you're rude too. Tell me as a matter of curiosity only do you have one or more tattoos?
