Jan 12, 2009: Hobo - Page 2

dmg1969 · 01-13-2009, 10:31 AM

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?

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.

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.

When summer came I saw she was grey from fly specks and had two chewed on spots. She was also thin. I was only going to take her to my business and clean her up but when I saw how bad she was, I couldn't take her back.
with some food and attention she looked beautiful very quickly. I called a lab rescue organization and told them I found her and ran an ad for two weeks looking for the owner. They found a good home for her. My neighbor asked if I saw someone take her but of course I told him I didn't. Even though she chewed up some stuff here in the shop I am glad I did what I did.

In case no one told you: YOU are a hero for that.

This is the hardest IOTD to look at in a long time. After the first glance, I have been careful to scroll down before it opens. His recovery is just great.

Hillrick- you are my hero.

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

Hullo, Hurricane. Welcome to da Cellah.

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.

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

"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 doubt it would make a difference.
These people do not flaunt their cruelty, they just think they will get away with it. Or as Zen says, there is something missing in their world view that prevents them from acting in the way the rest of us would.

Yup. Pretty much the next county for me. I can't say I'm interested in vigilante action though. I'm not sure if anything would move me to that.

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.

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.
