Hillrick- you are my hero.

Some people deserve to die a horrible death. That bitch certainly does.

Though I never fail to find it interesting that such stories always garner far stronger responses than do stories of abused humans.

Humans generally have the capacity to defend themselves from such barbarity. Most domesticated animals are at the mercy of their keeper. I said KEEPER. Nobody actually OWNS an animal IMO.:mad:

I think if we reintroduced the stocks, and put offenders like these on public display, letting anyone who wants have a go at them, this type of thing would be reduced.:mad2:

I like it, Grav. It's very much like having the guillitine erected right in front of the congressional building (AND SENATE)...makes for a nice, good visual.

..and reminder.

This picture has me in a state of shock. My blood pressure is up and I feel some rage coming on

Well done.

"Joy Battison, of Orchard Hill, Little Billing, Northants" There are a bunch of links about this, but this person is lucky she doesn't live around here. Any dwellars near this place?

I'm not sure that's true. For one, shocked silence is a pretty strong response. Just not one that is well shared on a bulletin board. That's pretty much how I react when I read horific abuse stories -human or animal. secondly I don't recall seeing a story of human abuse which did not generate more outrage than this, and thirdly if there are fewer suggestions as to what to do with the perps, perhaps it's because human abuse is generally strongly punished already, and if the miscreants do go back into society, they won't find it easy to fade into anonymity. Animal abuse seems absurdly minimally punished.

Poor dog.

Theres a lady out here in NM who actively seeks and captures mistreated animals and sets them up for better lives. I have two of her dogs and theyre mega cuddlers. Apparently both of my dogs came from underneath cars on blocks. She gets shot at alot too. Thats the cool part.

That is totally un-fucking believable! 12 months of supervision for that!?!? That makes me want to puke! I have a black German Shepherd and saw him when I looked at that photo.

I'd probably get banned or investigated if I said what should happen to this Joy Battison. So...I will stick to "I hope that fucking c*nt dies a slow, painful and miserable death". That is all.

How Hobo came to be dropped off at the PDSA Pet Aid Hospital in Northampton in such a terrible condition last summer remains unclear.
I'd like to know if there was an intervention angel, or a guilty conscience... maybe just a convenient disposal?

ZenGum 01-13-2009 08:03 PM

There may be more to this than we know.
Maybe the original owner of the dog developed a mental illness that made her unable to cope and she took refuge in denial of reality. Remember those really filthy rooms we saw images of a while back? It might be something like that, which would make the light sentence more fitting.
Of course, if she wasn't mentally ill, then I'll gladly join the old-fashioned-justice mob.

This woman's Karma is going to be coming after her for many lives to come. Anyone who abuses an animal should be locked up for their lives and starved in the process.
My Darby is a pound puppy, and I just can't imagine why his owner wasn't looking for him, he is absolutely wonderful. Their loss our gain.
