Animal Cruelty

[Rhaenys]

The dog I have now was a cruelty case.
He was beat up as a puppy and thrown in a dumpster and luckily someone found him

He's a gorgeous happy boy now though!
I'm glad he got a second chance cause he's an amazing lump of dog don't know how anyone could decide he deserved what he got as a puppy.

That's horrible, but here's a shocker. My school backs onto a reserve where is a huge population of Eastern Grey Kangaroos, which often visit the school, anyway the RSPCA came to our school and told us that someone had somehow crabbed a kangaroo and broke its legs. There have been other reports of burnt kangaroos (set on fire) and one with a broken tail.
I don't understand how people can do that, my brother told me once that he saw a group of kids throwing rocks at a Koala.

The attacks have stopped now, thank god

It's worth reading about consequences that occur over a simple act of cruelty.

I think that what many kids might do to fly, most would not do to a mouse. A lot of kids don’t associate with an insect and therefore don’t consider that it may feel pain in the same manner that we do.

There is also a difference between taking pleasure from a short term discomfort delivered to an animal you dislike or is a nuisance e.g. a good boot in the coit or a jolt from an electric fence. This is not the same as sadistic pleasure derived from producing excruciating pain over a sustained period (whether it results in death or not). The latter is straight out cruelty and I agree with DragonOnlyJarod that anyone who derives pleasure from this, is in need of serious psychiatric help. It is only a pity that forfeiting the right to breed cannot be made part of the punishment where the severity of the offence warrants it. I guess we are stuck with a shallow end to the gene pool.

You would be surprised how sick some of these cat haters are, a nailgun actually sounds humane compared to some of the twisted pathetic torture they come up with

And the toad haters too!

so what do you think of the killing of feral animals???

Native or feral, I don't like seeing them suffer. I stop for foxes to make sure none have been left to die, on the side of the road.

I can't be completely hypercritical since I eat meat, but there is no need to cruel torture just because the animal should die anyway. I can accept humane euthanisia

How sad is that Why do these type even bother with animals? I adopted my dog from pet rescue. He has some temperament issues with strangers but he loves me. When he demands pats I find it very hard to ignore him. I don't give him the pats. HE gets cuddles instead.

That was so sad

i agree that just because an animal is feral doesnt mean that it needs to be killed inhumanely, its not its fault it was born as a pest =/ its the kids who pour salt on toads or detol with there parents looking on that frustrate me...

i dont even want to know what people do to cats =|

bluetongue1 i spot on! people who commit animal cruelty should not be aloud to reproduce

both my dogs were abandoned, one was left in an empty house to starve and shes gorgeous! no one forces people to have pets, if you take on the responsibility you need to look after them!

as for the wildlife, i just generally hate the majority of the human race. That why im doing environmental science, to try and stop habitat destruction and save a few critters. Cant do much for the beardy though =[

I was out drive herping the other night and i stopped for what i thought was a snake, turned out to be a stick lol. Anyway, when i started driving off again i saw about a dozen blue eyes shining in my spotlights just ahead of me that belonged to a heard of buffalo. I didn't have a gun with me (lucky cause the cops pulled me up earlier in the night) so i couldn't shoot one but i did have a knife so i put my brave pants on and thought i'd have a go at bumping one over and then sticking it.

I drove at the heard, cut a young female off from the rest and was working on a way of getting up alongside her to knock her over with my cruiser. While i was doing this, she changed directions, slipped in a puddle and fell over onto her knees. I remembered straight away of being a six year old and falling over and grazing my knee while some bullies were chasing me that i felt sick that i was doing this to another living animal that i let her go lol.

So yeah, i don't understand how people can be cruel to animals lol.

it was a water dragon not a beardy.

 

[mysnakesau]

The paper said a beardy and even had a photo. I guess it wasn't the patient's photo.

I'm just thankful that our doggies are so forgiving of our species and still have lots of love left even for us after being hurt like that

One of the papers said it was a Eastern Bearded Water Dragon. It was a Water Dragon in the pic though.

when i was in primary school there were a group of kids stoning a mother pigeon and her nest of literally just hatched babies...i was mortified, i get that they are not native to australia but neither are rabbits or guinea pigs...so at the ripe age of 10 i took on the 4 boys and they ran off. i got the babies hid them under my classroom (portable building) then at the end of the day took them home and got them to a wildlife carer....the mother never came back

 

[mysnakesau]

Good on ya. I hardly believe the kids motive was due to them being non-native. Kids don't think of things like that. So their actions were out of nothing but cruelty. Haha, and big tough girls come along and put the little boys to shame. Well done.

 

[Defective]

these boys had seen me put a crack in a wooden post with my fist so they knew not to screw with me or it would be there face i'd crack!
