Run over pets...

This sort of thing is really nobody's faults. People do some weird things...sometimes...and you are always going run into weird people that piss you off. That's why I said...you got to have a sense of humor about life in general. Kindda like little children...not taking things way too seriously. That's how children tries to deal with problems.

It's like what Mark Twain said: "If you try, you can endure anything." One way to deal to deal with all the garbage that is floating around is with humor. And, also, good food and beer, of course! Nothing brings people together like food.

An animal suffering and dying and then being abandoned. Harty har har har. Very funny. :rolleyes:
 
ive been having pet related problems, a neighbourhood cat, keeps on trying to get into my house, recently I almost ran it over, because it ran out in front of my car whilst I was parking, problem is if I do run it over, im not sure anyone will believe it was an accident, even if it would solve my problem.
 
And I hope they don't believe it and press charges, if that's your attitude and you actually pull a sick stunt like that.

Such cavalier attitudes towards animal abuse make me sick. I had better leave this thread before I :barf: for real.
 
SVD, you disgust me. Your actions are sickening. I hope you're criminally charged. And the fact that you made this thread makes it a distinct possibility. There's a good chance an animal lover on these boards just might use it against you. Not only do you lack compassion and anything resembling decency but it seems brains are on that list too.
 
Okay, folks, I understand your feelings, but let's not let this go into Flaming territory-- the rules have not been suspended.

How can somebody leave an injured animal behind like that? :cardie:

For the longest time I had believed my previous cat was the victim of a hit and run. I believe differently now, but at the time I felt sick to think that someone could hit an animal and then just drive off, not even stopping to make sure it's OK or that the owner at least knows what happened.
My best cat, Boris, was hit by a hit-and-run twice. The first time he barely survived, lost an eye, but lived for a few years-- until he got hit in the same spot and killed. A couple of months ago, my Sister's cat was hit by a hit-and-run. They found him near death at the edge of a neighbor's yard and had to take him to the vet to be put to sleep. The neighbor knew he was laying there dying for two days, but didn't do anything because he "thought it was a stray." Some people are just rotten to the core.
 
My cat somehow got out while we were loading up the car to go on vacation last week. We came home and found him dead in the yard. I'm not a cat person, and I really didn't like this cat in particular (my wife had him before we moved in to gether), and I still spent the night crying my eyes out.


OMG! I am so sorry!! How awful for you both. :(
 
Thanks. It feels weird at night without him walking on my head.

The dogs are said because they can't snack out of the litter box anymore.
 
One of my cats used to try and bolt out the door any time we'd open it, which made things interesting when you had to accept a package or a pizza or leave the house. Eventually we got her trained so that any time someone knocks on the door now she just gives off a high-pitched mewl like "this isn't fair!" and runs up on the stairs.

However, when we had some contractors working on the house, they had the habit of constantly leaving the door open (I mean for no reason; it's not like they were bringing stuff in at the time, or we'd put the cats upstairs) no matter how many times we told them not to. So she got out a few times.

Fortunately once she saw what life was like in the outside world she became institutionalized like the old guy in Shawshank Redemption and wouldn't go any further than the rose bushes and hedges out front. Which made it difficult to catch her without luring her out with treats.

The other cat basically just sits on her ass and stares whenever the door is open. She couldn't care less.
 
In the UK it is a legal requirement to stop if you hit a dog, but not a cat.

Anyone who poisons a cat is a fucking scumbag.
 
Reading the first four pages of vitrioil and skipping the rest before it browbeats me away from facing the inflamation caused by my post about this regrettable act of mine, I say the folowing as my piece in response to the personal attacks and with respect to what I've learned:

To be branded as a bad or evil person over this hurts, perhaps rightly so.
I believe I am not, since, if so, I would have had no feelings of guilt.
If I, in fact, am that is for entitities beyond mortals to decide.

In hindsight, I know I would have been a basket case with my aversion to confrontation, yet I should have stopped anyway.

I never want to disgust people, yet I have done so with this thread. I have little power to change the latter fact.

From the first four pages of Vitriol, I have made and must lie in a rather uncomforable bed; built, at least in part, as follows:

Moraly and/or ethicaly: leaving the scene left me somewhere aproaching bankrupt.

I am legaly at risk of being charged with a misdemeanor.

Opinion of me on these boards has nosedived, if any existed. I may have burned my welcome here, and will likley leave for good if that is the case.
 
^People have done/ said far more controversial things than this and have received far worse abuse than you have over this..... I don't think you have to worry about leaving. Give it a few weeks, this thread will disappear and most people won't remember you as the guy who killed the dog and didn't stop. Some will hold a grudge, but that's more their issue than yours.

Now, if you make a habit of doing this and letting everyone know, then you might start developing a bigger issue. ;-)
 
I hit a large pit bull once, several years ago. I was in the middle of nowhere. I was afraid that either A. I was going to get bitten or mauled when I went to check on it or B. I was going to get shot in the face by a redneck

I certainly wouldn't leave the board over this. People around here have far reputations than you and still post. The fact that you know what you did is wrong and feel guilty over it is good enough for me. Well, good enough for me would have been stopping in the first place, but since that's out of the question, you feeling guilty is good enough for me :)
 
@OP

I consider the matter closed. You made a mistake and feel guilty about it. It also sounds like you might have been under some level of stress having to rush home to deal with what could've turned out to be a family emergency. If I had to choose between the life of a relative and the life one dog, you damn well bet I would've chosen my relative.

Well, some of these animal people...like SPCA, Humane Society and Peta...think other people are so stupid and stupid people should be burned. Sometime people don't understand and they just want a pet and at the first sign of them doing something wrong, they got grilled for it. Not all average IQ and even a little below average people are bad or that bad. It's like you are hitting little children for being stupid...wait my grandpa did that...but these people are acting like they're the parents. [chuckle]

By the way! I love Rotty, German shepherd and pitbulls. These powerful breeds kindda remind of Klingon targs.
