    IMO, ANYONE, and I mean ANYONE who fights dogs isn't great in my book. Loving husband, father, whatever, Is scum.

    GoldenRetrLuver, I hate to get off the subject here, but I just have to ask about your signature, how do you make it look like light going off around it? What program did you use? I just sat and stare and think how??

    Sorry to go off subject like that, but I really love that.

    Do you mean the thing that says "I love my dogs" or the regular signature?

    Thanks.
    I actually didn't make it. I got it off of another board I visit. If you want I can PM you the address to it. They have many more "blinkies" to choose from.

    These sub humans deserve as much sympathy as they showed
    to this poor animal. IMO.

    Amen, lizbud! I don't care who they are. If someone in my family was doing that, I would disown them. I feel no sympathy at all for those scum.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Poor dog. Poor, poor dog, to have lived a life like that, and then to almost face a death like that.

    I'm certainly glad the dog is alive.


    Now ... flame me if you will ... but I have to say this.

    Those two men that died were someone's son, someone's brother, someone's grandson. I imagine tonight there are grandparents, aunts, uncles, sisters, brothers, mothers, wives, friends who are grieving, torn up over the horrible way their loved ones died.

    I HATE dog fighting. HATE IT!!! Don't get wrong.

    But few people are ALL bad. Perhaps one of these men that died was a wonderful husband, a loving father. We don't know. I just hate to see ANYone's death glorified ... well, almost anyone's. There are a few heinous, subhuman monsters that I would be happy to see in the grave.

    trayi52, you said your nephew fights dogs and you hate it. But, he is still your nephew, right? Your family still loves him. I like to think that maybe people will see the light someday. I don't know, I guess I'm just imagining what it would be like to be a member of that family tonight.
    Twisterdog, I see your point, (and its a good one) but unfortunately, this type of loutish, piggish behaviour often goes hand in hand with out loutish, piggish behaviour like abusing your kids, drinking copious amounts of booze and wife-beating.

    I'm sure that their family are crying over them, but family members have cried over murderers who have been executed too ...

    Did anyone really *READ* the article???

    The thoughts of "...serves *THEM* right"
    or "*THEY* deserved what THEY got"

    is not supported by the facts presented in the article!

    The News Article states:

    "A man and his son drowned Monday night
    after the son tried to drown their dog...

    Police say the son fell into a pit full of water inside an old cotton gin and the father went in after him.

    Police say the son and his cousin were trying to drown their pit bull,
    Before drowning the dog, the son fell in and the cousin ran for help...

    The cousin ran for help and called 9-1-1.
    That's when the father ...
    jumped into the pit after his son.
    "


    It appears the SON and the cousin were the evil-doers;
    and although there is not a divinitive statement one way or the other;
    it's possible the Father was not even present for the attempted drowning of the dog...
    Nowhere does it state that the Father either condoned or knew of the plan to drown the dog.

    Bottom Line ~
    A not-so-nice 18-year-old boy, and an Obviously Loving Father
    both died in a tragic way...

    It does NOT become us to rejoice in the death of ANY living being ~
    Dog OR Human!

    Excellent points, Phred. Thanks for pointing that out.

    And, if you will re-read my post, everyone ... I didn't say I felt sorry for the people who tried to drown the dog per se, I said I felt sorry for their family members. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone, eh?

    I have to agree it was a sick sick sick thing to do to any animal and I'm very happy to hear that the dog made it and hopefull he will have a wonderfull life from here on.

    But to say that the death of other human being because of this if OK, I can't understand that. There is now a wife, other children maybe, that have to learn how to go on with out their loved ones. A wife that now has to support herself alone, raise a family alone, how can we just say Oh well served them right. It didn't serve her right or the rest of the family.

    I can't see how we can be so cold as to not think of others also, we are good loving people here, we show that in our love for our pets. We need to show that also in our love for the human race, no matter how bad they might be. We need to be better then them, they felt it was right to kill a dog in that way so we feel it's right that a human died that way? No dog, cat or human should have to die in such a way. Forgiveness and compassion.

    Those two things are in short supply around here.
