I couldn't watch I.B. When I started to here those cry's for help... don't know how folks can do this.

Adopt a pet. Pound puppies & kitties make the best pets!




I miss my baby Teak so much. She was the best puppy.

I cant open it, but if it is a bit nasty or upsetting, I think you should put up a warning before people click on it.

Thanks for that, I needed cheering up!!

Jesus fucking christ what is wrong with people. I had to stop watching at the beginning of what looked like "round 2"

It is pretty disturbing though, you should post a warning Touchy.

Pandurito - i'm just as upset about US foreign policy and the suffering of humans in this world.

but suffering of sentient beings is suffering of sentient beings in my mind... i value all life equally.

i watched it this morning, and my dog Roxie started barking and whining when she heard the audio - it broke my heart! we rescued her before she went to the pound, where she likely would have faced a similar fate. and she is an amazing, spirited soul!

thank you for speaking up for pound puppies & kitties... we need to put a stop to the cycle of violence in the name of our vanity and convenience.

IAmTheTouch said:

I would have been in tears, that is awfull.

PREDOMINANT said:

very sad... we don't give animals enough credit sometimes...

Maggie is a pound pup! We foolishly purchased a dog at the pet store the last time--impulse, and missing our dog who had died...never again. That pooch was a freak. He has a good home, but not with us. I think he would have killed me. Truly.
Adoption is the way to go!

ugh, that was horrrid. what is wrong with people? why re their no laws forbidding this?

cborgman said:

we're working on it. if you want to help, please send a letter to the address in the clip. thanks!

I was going to just post a popcorn emoicon, but that link is just too outrageous.
Hopefully my main man Lucifer be stokin' the fires of Hades for these sick fucker's diseased souls.

I appreciate anything being done to stop animals from suffering. I love animals. don´t think I don't. My avie is a cat

We have bullfights in my country and I'd banned them immediately if I could.

But, I will never say that I value all life equally.
I will never say that killing dogs is the same as killing children...
...even though we're talking about American dogs and Iraqi children.

with you too, really.

PANDURITO said:

Which is all well and good - but this thread isnt about Iraqi children of war is it?

Back 2 the topic at hand methinx.

Number23 said:

few people would not be outraged by this situation - i think the main problem is that people are simply not aware.

one of my favorite quotes is by Albert Schweitzer: "Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight."

IAmTheTouch said:

One of my own favourites is "For evil to be victorious, all it takes is for the good to do nothing."

That will be one of our wedding vows...

applekisses said:

That outdated, cold, binding contractual agreement thang?
Can't we just bathe in the beauty of each other's souls instead?

Number23 said:

Well...sure, my love...but, then we can't kill ourselves in ritual suicide...

applekisses said:

If we met you wouldn't want to die, dear.

Meanwhile, back at the box full of dogs, bitches and pups and carbon monoxide...

Number23 said:

I'm sure you're right...

bananacologne said:

Sorry for jacking guys...that subject is just too awful...is there some kind of petition or something? Something we can do?

applekisses said:

at the end of the piece, there is a name you can contact to express your concerns and ask for a change in procedure.

that, and spread the word!

IAmTheTouch said:

I want to kill those people...is there a link for that?

applekisses said:

except for the occasional sick mf, i don't think that animal control people enjoy their work. i've talked to a good number of them, and it pains them to have to do this, but the numbers are just overwhelming.

the situation is caused by ignorance and greed. ignorance on the part of the general public as to the staggering number of homeless animals in this country, and greed on the part of breeders and pet stores who continue to breed and sell animals for profit while this kind of mass slaughter is going on.
