Alright so earlier this afternoon while frequenting my drug dealer aka friendly neighborhood Starbucks , I see a homeless guy/vagabond looking fellow and his apparently malnourished dog (half german shepard/half lab?). Anyway , he's just leaning up against the light pole on the corner and I think to myself "i will give kick him a few bucks when I come out of the coffee shop if he asks me."

Does ole dude ask me for some money? You betcha! Of course before he gets his hustle on and commences with preying upon my sympathy for the homeless, he takes a rolled up newspaper and WACK right on the dog's head. I was stopped dead in my tracks. He's hovering over the dog, with newspaper baton in hand, yelling "didn't I tell you to be still...didn't I?" and then WACK again. That poor dog looked so scared and confused. Ole wretch sees me walking toward him ( I wanted throw my latte at him) and he asks "Can you spare some change miss?"

I tell him..."Not to people who beat their dogs!"

I kept it moving and didn't even look back. I don't think he would have fed that dog anyway.

WTF? You have to beat up on defenseless creature; probably the only creature in the world that gives a rat's ass about you?

Humans ( many )

NASTIEST mofos on this planet ~ hands down

sometimes I hate my species.

I woulda kicked that fucka in his back and stole the dog.

That is horrible!

I often get doggie bags when i go out as the meals are too much 4 me...and hand them out to homeless ppl as we walk to the car, they are always so happy to receive them. They never ask for money, i am not sure if i would give them money as i know they will prob get drunk.

Most homeless that I see take great care of their dogs, and those dogs live longer lives than the average house dog.

But I would have called the Humane Society on this fucker.

I'm amazed that there are so many homeless dog owners out there. One would think that another mouth to feed is the last thing they need in their situation. But I guess they have them for company and protection?

True story:

My mom has never driven. She gets around using the bus, or in extreme conditions she'll use a cab or ask a friend.

Years ago, a homeless woman came up to my mom and asked if she'd loan her money for bus fare to get home. My mom, being one of the nicest people you could know, said "I don't have any money but I can give you a bunch of bus passes" (same as cash for bus rides).

Well, here's human nature for you: the homeless lady replied "Fuck You, Bitch!".

I have a similar story:

Some random guy walked up to me as I was pulling into my garage one night and asked me for cab fare to go see his mom whom he found out was just admitted to the hospital. I instead offered him a spare metro card of mine which had at least enough money on it for one fare so he could take the bus. He said "nahhhh" and quickly walked away.

I guess dude didn't have to see his sick mom that much.

Many homeless and wandering poor who are pet owners do take very good care of their dogs (as best they can) that's why I was shocked to see this dude beat his dog. I call it a beating. It's a wonder that dog didn't fall down because the hit was very forceful. A thick and rolled up newspaper is no joke. You could hurt somebody if you apply enough force.

That's a common scam!

YEARS ago (I was a teen) as I was leaving a pizzeria, some lady comes up to me with tears streaming down her face, saying her son got shot down in Philly (I'm on Long Island) and she needed train fare to go see him in the hospital.

A big part of me was like; , but her tears compelled me so I handed her the $5.00 I had in my pocket.

Needless to say, about a week later, I was in the same area, and who comes up to me with tears in her eyes? YUP. As she starts to give me the spiel, I go to her; "You just told me the same thing LAST WEEK." WIthout skipping a beat, she says, "Yeah, but there were complications and.."

I'm sure I said something rude and walked away.

THEN, about a MONTH later, I'm at HOME and you-know-who comes walking up our front steps! I spotted her through the window, opened the door, and told her that I didn't want to hear what she had to say.

...so she looks at me all twisted and is like; "Are your parents home?"

I almost called the cops on her.

We have a lot of homeless in my city; some addicts, some just hardcore punk rocker kids, but all choosing to live this way (because the social system here is set up to care for them, feed them, house them, and educate them to get them in the work force, yet they won't take the assistance). A common thing is that they have dogs...big dogs, small dogs, all kinds; a lot of them wait outside of grocery stores or main subway stations to panhandle. Dogs are so loyal to humans ...sometimes I look at the dogs and they look more downtrodden than their masters...with a miserable look on their face that says,

"how the hell did I end up with this joker ? If I wanted to be on the streets not knowing where my next meal or cover from the rain was coming from I could be by my damned self living wild...but I'm stuck here in the rain with your ass while you panhandle for beer and just maybe you'll give me a piece of salami tomorrow if your drunk/strung out ass remembers "

and you know what I do? When I pass some of these folks, I never give money, but I give leftover food, a $1 cheeseburger, or most usually, some dog food to feed those loyal pooches that stick by their stank asses through rain or shine.

Chile, we's kindred spirits and shit. I'da kicked him in his NUTS, put the dog in my car and then to the shelter where I would pay for any medical care/shots, etc. If he could not be adopted, I would go back and get him and find him a home myself. It makes my blood BOIL when I see people mistreating animals. Seriously, I go apeshit.

So glad you called his ass out

I chose his back cuz I'd want him draggin' his body around on the sidewalk with his legs trailing behind him like Rick James on the Dave Chappelle show.

Remind me, do either of you ever watch that show Animal Cops? The stuff that the cops find...

They alwasy seem to end up in Philly.

Chile, please! I had to stop watching that show! I would end up crying and cussing and pacing and chain smoking cigarettes and reefer, smacking the TV and shit. I was a fuggin mess! I wanted to go to Philly and personally take names and kick asses!

They had one episode that I think took place in Florida but I'm not sure. Anyway, this man kept the harness (head gear/reigns?) on his horse's head for like 7 years or some shit. The straps grew into the horse's head and caused great infection not to mention discomfort. the vet had to surgically remove it and there was so much puss. The doctor was complaining about the smell. The poor horse had to wear bandages for several weeks and have frequent checkups for his wounds which would take quite some time to heal. That poor horse was disfigured too. Some people have no business owning animals....not even goldfish.

Breaks my heart when I have seen something similar.

anyone who beats up there animals should be beaten themselves. animals should be loved and sleep in the middle of your bed!

I can't watch that shit. I foster dogs and dealing with the damage inflicted by humans first hand is bad enough.

I can't watch that commercial with Sarah McGlauclin (sp). You know the one....they show the cat with the missing eye and the shivering dog etc. I got tricked cuz they've got two commercials now and the second one shows still photos of animals with captions saying things like "why do they beat me" and "will I ever get out of this cage".
