Inhumane treatment of dogs (rescued, adopted, best, problems)

[robcin]

I AM SO DISGUSTED TO READ PRACTICALLY EVERY DAY ABOUT ANOTHER DOG THAT HAS BEEN BEATEN, SHOT, TIED UP AND LEFT TO DIE! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? WHAT HAVE THESE INNOCENT ANIMALS DONE TO YOU? DON'T YOU KNOW THAT THE ONLY THING THEY WANT TO DO IS LOVE AND BE LOVED? I REALLY THINK IT IS A SHAME EVERY TIME I READ A STORY LIKE I JUST DID ABOUT A POOR DOG THAT WAS BUCK-SHOT IN TEXAS AND PUT INTO A BAG AND LEFT TO DIE OVERNIGHT!! THESE ARE INNOCENT ANIMALS THAT CANNOT STAND UP AND SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES SO I AM GOING TO SPEAK FOR THEM. HOW WOULD ANYBODY LIKE TO BE SHOT, TIED UP AND PUT INTO A BAG AND LEFT IN A DUMPSTER TO DIE WITHOUT EVER HAVING COMMITTED A CRIME? DOGS ARE OUR BEST FRIENDS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT JUDGE US, THEY DO NOT LOOK FOR PROBLEMS, THEY DON'T TALK BACK-UNLIKE US THAT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE JUDGING OTHERS IF WE ARE NOT THE SAME AS THEY ARE, ALWAYS LOOKING FOR A FIGHT, ALWAYS ON THE DEFENSE!!! I REALLY AM SO UPSET BY ALL OF THIS. I HAVE A DOG THAT I RESCUED WHEN HE WAS 3 MONTHS OLD AND HE IS GOING TO BE 4 YEARS OLD 2 WEEKS FROM TODAY AND THAT DAY HAS CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER! I LOST MY MOM 3 MONTHS AFTER I ADOPTED HIM AND IF IT WASN'T FOR HIM, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE. I CRIED AND CRIED AND THERE WERE DAYS THAT I DID NOT EVEN WANT TO GET OUT OF BED BUT I HAD TO BECAUSE I NEEDED TO TAKE HIM OUT. I WOULD TALK TO HIM OF COURSE KNOWING THAT HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I WAS CRYING ABOUT BUT I THINK IN SOME WAY HE KNEW THAT I WAS SAD AND HE WAS THERE FOR ME!! I WOULD GIVE MY LIFE FOR HIM. HE IS A BIG DOG (LAB/POINTER MIX) BUT JUST AS BIG AS HE IS THAT IS HOW GENTLE AND LOVING HE IS. HE DOES NOT BARK, HE OBEYS, HE DOES NOT BITE. HE IS ONE BIG FRIENDLY DOG THAT ONLY LOOKS FOR LOVE AND APPROVAL FROM HIS MOMMY AND DADDY, AND WE GIVE HIM THAT AND SO MUCH MORE! PLEASE STOP THIS MADNESS, THERE IS ENOUGH EVIL IN THE WORLD!! JUST REMEMBER, THEY ARE INNOCENT AND THEY DESERVE ALL THE LOVE WE CAN GIVE THEM!! THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO ME VENT ABOUT A TOPIC THAT IS BECOMING ALL TOO COMMON IN THE NEWS! GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

I share your anger and frustration, but it's difficult to read your thread with cap locks on. I wish punishments were much more severe for animal abuse and neglect.
