Why would anyone do this ?
Fox, a 13-year-old Pomeranian, ran outside the Florida condo where he lived to go to the bathroom Friday night. The dog never returned.
“I called for him and I didn’t hear anything,” Verline Barthelemy told the Sun Sentinel. “He’d always come back.”
The next morning, Fox’s body was discovered outside of the building by a “frantic” neighbor, the dog’s owner, Ronald Boisvert, told the Associated Press.
Taped to the dead dog’s body was a note, written on a torn piece of notebook paper.
“WE BEAT IT 2 DEATH lol! : ) HAHAHA!” it read, according to the Pembroke Pines Police Department.
Doctors at Saint Francis Animal Hospital examined the dog and found that he had sustained multiple fractures. “According to the veterinarian, these injuries are consistent with blunt force trauma,” police said in a statement.
Barthelemy, reading from the veterinarian report, told the Sun Sentinel that Fox’s stomach was “displaced” and that his jaw, spine and ribs were fractured. “I’m hoping that after the first hit, he was already gone and didn’t feel what came next,” she told the paper.
We live in a sad world which is getting crazier
I agree with acchabaccha
MODS: Please look into this post and other ones by this person. He writes crap.
Shit’s definitely rough, but it’s also important to put the “We are no different from the Ants. No, we are far worse” comment into context. It’s striking at the fundamental difference between humans and Chimera Ants. Ultimately, the Chimera Ants are structured to do what they do. What Meruem plans is of course horrible from our perspective — at best, humanity gets to live in a zoo; at worst, genocide. But what Meruem plans is building the Chimera Ant society on a larger scale. Even with humanity spliced in, Meruem is still operating as prescribed by nature. Humans have a different sort of will altogether. They’re driven by selfishness and selflessness in equal measure; they’re capable of wonderful acts of good and horrifying acts of evil. We engage in great charity while denying vast swathes of people basic civil rights and dignity. I’ll refrain from getting too political here, but suffice to say anyone who pays attention gets several reminders per day of humans being wonderful and humans being cruel assholes.
acchabaccha: You make a very valid and correct point. In my personal opinion, the firebombing of the house in the West bank was an atrocity and something that must be condemned. The perpertrators must be brought to justice.
The issue of Cecil the Lion is slightly different. I agree that too much has been made of this and the Dentist is professing his innocence.
As for this case, I do believe that it highlights the moronic element in our society and should be condemned also.
As for the difference - I don't believe its as great as you may paint. The simple fact is that people respond to issues / atrocities which may directly affect them and are nearer to their home.
When a one-and-a-half year old Palestinian was burned to death and three of his family members were seriously wounded after their house was firebombed on July 31, 2015 in West Bank village of Douma forcing the Israeli Prime Minister to condemn the attack and calling it "terrorism", no one at Qatar Living wrote a word about it. The child’s father also died four days later while his mother and 4-year old brother remain in critical condition at an Israeli hospital.
However, when Cecil the lion was killed in an African country by a US dentist, there was uproar in the West over the "cruelty." When a dog "Fox" gets killed in the West, it is no doubt a sad affair and we get to read the minute details of how the cruel act was carried out.
There is a line of difference between the West and the East -- and a pretty thick one-- in how the way people from the West look at things than those who come from the East.
"We live in a sad world which is getting crazier." Very true, indeed!
Kevin: I am surprised by your comment. Most cats and dogs are used to going out in the morning and evening for "bathroom" activities.
The issue here are the morons who would do this to an animal and find it amusing.
Why let the dog go outside alone even if its already used to do it? i mean come on, if he loves his dog so much like a son, then would you let his kid go out in the night alone too? it's sad how there are people like this but be a responsible animal owner too..
One need to be kind to Animals. But one need to be more kind to Humans
“Some 110,000,000 Muslims have been violently killed since 1948, of which 66,000,000, or 60 percent, died during the sixty seven years of fighting Israel."
Please think more to end the massacre.
The americans provide Israel with Bombs and they say they are friends with Arabs.
It is high time Arab's realize their friendly enemy.
