I don't think I've met anyone that wasn't ratchet or degen who thought of their pet as anything other than close companions.
There was a news article in USA Today (which we always get about five days late for some reason) about a woman who adopted a chihuahua that was mutilated by it's former owners and had it's paws chopped off to the bone.
The woman said, "please we don't know who did this to this dog, but no calls for justice, we just want to get the dog better." They were fitting it with special pads so it could try and walk again.
I just have to wonder about the criminally sick mentality that could harm a dog or cat that way.
That's so fucking awful.
There's got to be a special hell for people who treat animals that way.
I hope so. It's really sick and disgusting. They think it was probably a male who did it because the dog is now terrified of men. I just have to wonder how people can live with themselves.
