Some did take their pets and had their pets taken from them to be dropped by the roadside. What of those people?


Separate issue. In those cases, NO should locate those animals and make sure they are reunited. At NO's expense.

Those others, do the dog a favor,shoot it, and send the owner to court for cruelty to animals.
I saw how some were chained up on 3 feet of chain. Their owners should have at least set them loose.

OK, I take back my assertation that you are a leftist. I was wrong (or else you are a darn good actor!)

But I still think it is a mistake to base your opinions of feelings like you are doing on this issue. it is dangerous and misguided.

Also, I take issue with you promoting the radical left wing website. But seemingly that is OK here on FR. So I will back off on that one.

After trying several variations, I guess Admin Mod doesn't work as a post anymore.

I'm still curious as to why my posts were somehow more offensive than posts 2 through 4, and were consequently deleted.

Those early posts said essentially the same thing as I said, I just expanded on the theme and my personal beliefs.

Dear Admin Mod: Please FReepmail me so I can better understand the board guidelines and comply.

I spent considerable thought and effort on those comments and would appreciate a considerate reply.

Stand up and be heard. It's the American way. Many of the early Patriots lost their lives, liberty, and family that way.

Based on a line from a skit on SNL where they lampooned Blue Oyster Cult.

LOL... Like I said, I'm exhausted, so I'm a little slower than you are. But I gave him the "I'm done" post at 121. :-)

And BTW, yes, noahswish.org seems to be the best way to go for donations.

What "tough talk?" I only saw one of those, and he's piped down. I haven't noted anyone here that isn't an animal lover, but that doesn't mean they don't see the cost/benefit ratio on this idea as foolhardy.

"I saw how some were chained up on 3 feet of chain"

Unacceptable.
Totally.

Does LA have a felony animal cruelty law?

Hurricanes or no hurricanes, that is purely an evil thing to do to a dog.

The mindset in question is based on cold reality and facts. Not feeling.

The opposition you see on this thread is in reaction to a touchy feely response to the problem at hand.

Cold reality sometimes dictates that you put your feelings aside to do the best thing for something that you have responsibility for. Like shooting a dog.

My feelings would never let me shoot a dog. But cold reality has at times demanded that I do it in the best interests of the dog.

But the main thing in play on this thread is 2 opposing philosophies. One says a pet is equal to a human. The other say no way!

Your post was removed because of a few crude expressions used. Watch your language.

In regards to shelters, Most, if not all shelters have to euthanize, it's just a fact of how shelters work. If your (breeder?) claims they don't, They do, or send them out.

Yeah, I know. I didn't want to get into all the details about that, but you're right. Many of the no-kill shelters refuse to accept the less desirable dogs so they don't have to kill them... thus maintaining their "no-kill" status/reputation. But if they turn those dogs away and they end up at the Humane Society, they end up euthanized anyway. That's why I said "shades of gray" - because I realize it's often just a shuffling of the statistics.

Them dang trolls have nothing better to do on a Saturday night...LOL!

I found Noah's Wish right here on FR.

Never heard of it myself before that but now they're even promoting it on Fox News.

Great, selfless people.

I stand in awe of them.

And you gave them money?

No, I haven't donated any money to the Katrina victims, I'm struggling to pay my own rent.

I meant donating to FR, which I done in the past, then I got banned by some idiot Admin Mod because I was flaming a troll.

It may be foolhardy in YOUR opinion. Fortunately, yours is a minority opinion...and it is a minority that is getting ever smaller.

Hey, I ran around and collected a bunch of client checks today, got 'em to an open bank before closing, and the BoSox beat the damn Yankees 9-2.

Schilling's back in top form, went 8 innings, had a no-no through the 4th and we're still 4 up from the Yankees.!

Yeah, I'm punchy, but I'm a happy punchy kinda guy. Belly laugh with the best of them.

Please list the number of the post that says a pet is equal to a human. I must have missed it.

Your, and anyone elses, opinion is irrelevant unless you're EMS qualified.

Are you?
