Why????

turkishmelly

Why people are so cruel??? So I got off at park-a-ride. There is this homeless German Shepard mix hangs out there so I see him laying by the coffee stand and this guy who works at coffee shop was throwing rocks at him! Made me so sad!! I am like douche bag how would you feel if he was throwing rocks at you? He tells me to mind my own business!!! I so wanted to slap him! Leave the poor dog alone! Okay I vented. I feel better

some people are just *kitten*..bet if that dog tried to attack him inself defense he wouldnt have been so tough..

skittybang

most people wouldn't say anything - I commend you for trying to make him see how cruel he was behaving - but that's not enough though

SimplyFreckled

isn'tead of just leaving the dog there to continue getting abused, why didn't you take it to a vet clinic or a no kill shelter where it would have a great chance at a new and loving home?

^^^ this.....or you could have called and had SPCA come pick him up if you were to worried about putting him in your car.....At least here they have a no kill policy....this hurts my heart !

I would have slapped him! I'm constantly amazed and disguted by people cruelty. Any chance you can get this dog to safety? A local animal shelter perhaps?

turkishmelly

It makes me rage!!! I was going to spray him with my pepper spray!

I would've reported the *kitten* to the ASPCA. No excuse to mistreat an animal like that. Makes me mad.

SimplyFreckled

but it didn't make you raging mad enough to take action and help the dog???

Poor dog.

Call the SPCA. You still can.

I was so on it! I already called. They said they were gonna take care of it. I was running late to my work so I called and said I might be little late. There is an issue. I explained and my boss tell me you are so naive.. Be here on your time. It's not your responsibility to take care of homeless dogs. What a *****! Cause I wanted to be there till I knew that dog was safe

♥Faerie♥

I agree with everyone else....if you can, take the dog to a shelter, preferably a no-kill one...at least he would have a chance at getting some food, shelter and care, and possibly a loving home........

Oh, and make sure to throw some rocks at that guy every time you pass that place, some very...big..rocks...

david2831g

Guy sounds like a total dipsh***t. How can anyone hate a dog?!

You could always go on a day off and picket the coffee place. Sign: THIS MAN IS CRUEL TO ANIMALS

I LOVE this idea!!

We were in a restaurant in Skiathos, Greece once. There are cats everywhere there and as the restaurants have tables outside they hang around for titbits. I love cats, so I was stroking and fussing them. When the waiter bought our food out he purposefully kicked one of the cats hard enough to send it sliding across the promenade. We got up and left without eating or paying and told him why. The cat ran off. I was in tears.

I'm pretty quiet most of the time but I would have kicked up so much fuss that, hopefully, others would have found their conscience to join in. Report it to a no kill shelter, report the abuser to the police...i'm sure there is a law against animal abuse and i'd also report him to the coffee shop owners (better if its a big chain) and I wouldnt give a flying fig if I put the coward out of a job!

I hate hearing stories like this. When my cat was a kitten some drunk kids found him and were having a bon fire, they were throwing him across the fire to see who could drop him in the fire first. Thank GOD a neighbor saw and rescued him. Because of the incident he has no tail and walks a little crooked. He is the sweetest thing ever, i just can't believe someone could harm something so innocent.

This makes me sick.

Shoulda woulda coulda. NO animal should be treated like that and it infuriates me that you walked by and didn't see it through until the dog was safe. It is EVERY persons responsibility to help out an animal because they cannot help themselves.

Interesting thought since most people don't act that way about other human beings....just something to ponder.

I completely understand and love animals and would do anything I can for them. But it does sound like she has an unsympathetic boss. So how much help would she be in the end if she loses her job then can't feed herself or pay her rent and ends up on the street.

At least she spoke up and called when she could, It is a heck of a lot more than most people would do. Maybe we should stop being so damn harsh on the OP. She obviously has a good heart and wishes she could have done more. :frown:

RocketsGirl75

People are just asshats! Honestly WTF?? I am with you I totally don't get it!

keb80

I can't stand hearing/thinking about an animal being abused... It makes me sick! ... :frown: I'd love to see that *kitten* get his *kitten* kicked by something/someone that can actually fight back!!!

I agree. I think she should be commended for for doing something instead of being criticized for not doing enough.

Here is the update. I post it on my Facebook and one of my friend is adopting the dog. And he just got arrested. I feel great knowing that he is gonna learn from this hopefully and the dog will be safe. I have 2 dogs already, I wish I could have taken him home

Thank you for all you have done. I have 3 dogs and a cat. All of them are rescued animals.

Can I just say Thank you? Thanks for doing SOMEthing. My teen daughter saw a young man literally hitting his dog and she was very scared, but said something to him. She's tiny (about 100lbs) and STILL stood up to this much bigger boy. He stopped doing it when called on it.
Thanks for not just standing by. I bet you made that guy think...even if he told you off.

Your daughter is so brave!!! You did a great job raising her!! I really mean it.

I would have called in sick, intervened enough to make the guy sick, and saved the cat... Called the police, and filed whatever law suit that would get me out of jail free card, and then defame the *kitten* character on the 5:00 news.
