People who dump kittens and puppies should be strung up….

That's how it starts...

Really!

well documented fact

I need some advice. I adopted a lab pup around Christmas. He is 8 months old and is already 70 plus pounds. He is a handful and smart. I don’t know shit about training a dog properly. My wife about shits when I talk about sending him off for some basic training. I think it’s necessary. Thoughts?

absolutely. your wife won't like the damage an uncontrolled dog can do. start with crate training right away. then send him off if that is your move. YT will have crate training vids. no it is not cruel. they are denning animals. if you can go to training with the dog. learn how to handle one. very satisfying if you have the time.

And yet they don't kill us... Because until they evolve opposed thumbs, they can't operate a can opener or get into the food closet!

Though General Sherman opens doors with no problem. Little bastard. He also stole the key to my gun cabinet and 'lost' it under a carpet. It took me a month to find it. Literally pulled it out of the lock and buggered off with it.

Studies also show that cats love us... so must be a love-hate thing. Which is why they are more interesting than dogs. If not as useful!

Cheers,

useful? can you imagine what we would have if we had applied the same techniques we used with dogs and horses? i mean like the Mendel/Carver things. how would you like 100lb Leopard for a security/protection critter? we missed their "potential" IMHO. my two are realized,not potential PsITA.

There is a video of some of the local cops finding a baby rabbit on the road. One is going to move it off the road and let it go when another one asks to hold it. As soon as he gets it he throws it against a truck as hard as he can killing it and laughs. I'd post the video but its on facebook. I cant figure how to post it without my personal info being compromised which has happened. A POS member here did that to me awhile back. If I can find a seperate link I'll post it.

In the last 10-ish years we have rescued 38 kittens/cats and over 80 puppies/dogs that people have discarded on our rural country road. Alabama is the Patron State of Discarded Animals. Many have been tossed out in tied trashbags. Most had died, but my wife and I have found a number still alive. We found 8 kittens in a tied Hefty bag on the side of the road — alive. We saw the bag moving. The last photos are two pups that we found in a tied / sealed garbage bag. They must’ve been dumped off not long before my wife and I went for our morning walk. They would have suffocated to death in a few minutes. Look at their faces. They were scared to death for the first day, but quickly warmed up to us and the farm animals. What kind of human do you have to be to put such beautiful, innocent puppies ALIVE into a bag to die in agony?!

no explanation is possible. shooting undesired animals is hard to explain but what you describe leaves the definition as human not possible.
