Not to put too fine a point on it, but that is why you research before you shoot your mouth off.
I did.
It was easy.
Why didn’t you tell us?
Because you did not know.
Just as you did not know that she was posting the video to cause pain for her husband.
Everything I said about the dog being killed quickly and painlessly was and is true.
That does not make what she did right.
But her motives do not make the facts of the method of killing false.
Ownership makes a big difference. We did not know that the dog was not hers before. We were told it was.
Motives make a big difference, but we did not know the motives before.
Dogs are trusting. They often wag their tails before they are killed.
It is a sign that they likely have not been tortured up to that point.
Most people who put down their dogs want to remember them wagging their tails at the end.
At 9:08, I was made aware of the thread.
I did not explore it any further, other than to express my general disgust at the comments, thus far, , as I knew where it was going to go, based solely on the breed of dog, and frankly, I really, *really* didn’t want to know the gory details.
[it’s a side effect of my accursed, evil empathy, you know]
After answering a couple pings about snakes at WalMart, I left to go out to the shop to retrieve some things I just bought for a project I’m doing, got busy with something else, and was not on the thread from roughly 10pm until 12 am.
At 12:13, you decided to get up in my face, when I had, in no way shape or form, even remotely addressed you, personally.
[enter the shade of Lady MacBeth]
A few minutes after reading that, at 12:41, I had already, after a mere 2 minute search, found the truth of the murder...I mean matter.
You, on the other, had been busily shooting off rapid fire stupidity, the entire length of the thread.
In two minutes, I discovered what you had blithely missed for almost 4 hours, while yet roundly pontificating.
You, marktwain, simply blow my mind.
No matter what facts are laid before you, regardless of your own inability to sleuth the reality for yourself, you *still* attempt to self justify.
I might be impressed by your relentless tenacity to remain “right”, were it not for such a horrid cause.
You’re a wiz at throwing out logical fallacies, self serving semantics and deflection, I’ll give you that.
I will no longer waste my time, trying to ferret out what tiny vestige of humanity I thought must surely still dwell within you.
Have a nice day.
