Man attacks dog in Philly

Story

My mom just called me to update me on this news story. She was discussing it at lunch with her co-workers and prays that this never happens to my dog because I'd be in jail for what I did to the person who did it. This was someone's pet and this guy went out of his way to beat this dog to death for what looks like no other reason than the dog's breed.

For the life of me, I really don't understand people who abuse animals. My own dog is an incredible kid and I deal with the results of his previous owners' abuse every day. He knows he safe now, but everytime he flinches when someone goes to pet him or walks near him while he's eating it kills me. I know it's my mom's prayer that I never find out who had him before I did.

I just saw the update, apparently the dog died from it's injurieis but I see that they caught him.

I still think the media plays a big part in how Pitbulls are portrayed. In my city, I know that more people get bitten by dalmations than pitbulls, but that never seems to make the news.

people are insane. Why is this becoming such a big issue. Pets are put on this earth to love of and to get our love in return. Has people lost thier minds? Is this what the world is coming to? I could never hurt a creature that had complete and total trust in me. I would be put in jail too if someone hurt my Tango. It would be ON!

This is disgusting. I hope they find that man and he rots in jail. Tho he probably won't. Poor Ramkin. May he rest in peace. How awful. I too would go after the person who did that to my dog. My cat was terrorized when I got her b/c of my friend's boyfriend didn't like cats especially long haired ones. So poor Kylie was screwed. I have no use for the "boyfriend" now fiance' b/c I know what he did to Kylie. I know how I had to draw her out of her shell and get her so she isn't terrified when men come into my house. Eventually, my friend chose him over her friendship with me, and her love of animals. Thank God I got Kylie out of that situation.
Unfortunately, it was too late for her brother Max, who my friend kept and he "disappeared". Then they got a puppy from the Humane Soc and it went back b/c it was "too stupid" then she got another kitten that ended up with a broken leg, (it died but not b/c of the boyfriend, I honestly believe he had nothing to do with it, she had ear mites and infection that seeped into her brain, and then the one of the local vets (who my animals won't ever go to) tried to spay her and she died within 2 days) then she bought him a yellow lab, and lo and behold it ran away!! Yea right, at 6 mos of age. AND they live in town!!! And there was never any indication that it got hit on the road. WHATEVER!I have no use for ignorant people like the man in Philly and in this case.
Godspeed to the bridge Ramkin, where you won't be hurt ever again.

OMG:mad: How totally awful. What came over him to do something like that to a poor defenseless dog? I just don't understand.
At least poor Ramkin is at the Rainbow Bridge and is in pain no more.

RIP dear Ramkin, your an angel at the bridge http://www.plaudersmilies.de/angel2.gif

This just makes me sick to my stomach just thinking of poor Ramkin trying to get away from that godforsaken kid. I am in tears. Poor Baby.
I hope they prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law. This is a sign he could be a danger to people also. They guy that threw Leo the Bichon out of the car into traffic beat a dog to death also when he was in the militiary.

Ugh!! That makes me so mad!! I don`t think that guy would like to be beaten! Maybe somebody should!!! Hopefully(if they do) he`ll get it into his head that animals don`t need to be treated like that!

Poor Ramkin!! Well now he`s in peace!! (with no one chasing him with a bat!! :mad: )

RIP Ramkin!

He was in custody and was charged with cruelty to animals and possession of narcotics

WHAT THE F###!!!!!!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

A Dog attacks a person, gives it a few puncture wounds and gets put down, a human attacks a dog, the dog dies and the human gets a few fines. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD??!!?!?!?!?

I wish i could meet that mindless kid and beat eh living s*** out of him. He deserves it. UGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!:mad: :mad:

The world is so messed up.

This pisses me off so much. They should put this foolish child in a ring and release dogs on him. Or atleast release us angry Pet Talkers on him!!!

:mad: :mad: :mad:

How could someone do something like that? Where was their conscience? It breaks my heart to think about poor Ramkin being beaten up and suffering so much. I am still crying after I read the article 20 minutes ago.

Unfortunately, the fullest extent of the law for what this 17 year old did is not much. Pehraps a slap on the wrists, less than a year in jail and/or a fine. Whoopti Doo! Then what? Why aren't these laws more severe and the punishment fitting the crime?
I wish our government won't pass laws that would make animal abusers think twice.

R.I.P. Ramkin. I know that the abuser will not rot in jail, but I know for a fact he is going to burn in hell :mad:

how very true.this just makes me want to work harder for animal rights. everyone can do their part. go to ur local animal shelter, go to ur mayor or start ur own activist group. we can make people think twice before they ever harm an animal. we can make ourselves heard. i for one am sick of thinking nothing will change. one day, there will be a new law and even harder penalties then a slight chastisement. come on pet talkers, u show ur anger now show ur arms!!!!!!!!!!!

I hesitate to post this right after the attack on the dog in Philly, but unfortunately it seems that there has been an extreme case of animal neglect as well. This was on the news yesterday. A woman, also in Philly, left her six dogs in her home with no air conditioning and no food for weeks. The dogs were found yesterday. :( I will be waiting to hear her explanation when she is found. Here is the link:

R.I.P. RAMKIN

Yep that is totally typical. Dog Bites Man and Dog Dies, Man Beats Dog and goes on.

Let us all in a room for about 2 minutes with that well not man but worthless piece of S_ _ T and we will show him how it feels to get beaten to death.:mad: :mad:

I am sooooooo mad and discusted with what happened to Poor Ramkin!

Ramkin,

You are in a safe place now and there is no one there who will hurt you. You will have no hurt or pain.

Please don't think all humans are like that mean man that beat you, cause the majority would never hurt you let alone any animal.

Lots of hugs and kisses from Deisel & Phoebe and Pet Talk.

Again R.I.P. LITTLE RAMKIN

DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE

THAT MAN NEEDS TO FRY THE THE CHAIR!!!!!!!!!!

Here are my thoughts on stuff like this:

If someone kills a person or an animal (obviously domstic- illegally)
that person should die too!! Why should his/her victim have to die, probably for the dummest reason- but that cold creep get to live (most of the time). I think it is insane that there are these huge building with grassy "play pens", basketball courts etc. FOR COLD- HEARTED CREEPY FREAKS!!! I've read on the internet about some jails, and some of them sound pretty nice. Way too mice for a criminal.

Sorry, just had to vent my thoughts. Sorry for any offenses or upsets!!!!!!

OOPS!!

Oopsy! it should say:

THAT MAN NEEDS TO FRY IN THE CHAIR!!!!!!!

(i'm sure I made 100 other mistakes- too bad! :p )

EXCELLENT IDEA!!

You know what I think would be really cool??

Is if we tied that BUNGHOLE down by the legs and arms- and we took metal baseball bats and wacked him in the head, stomach and ... and ... the groin (OUCH!!) Ahhh..... if only I could... trust me I would!

I wish we could unleash ALL the Pet Talk Dogs and Cats on him and sit and watch him squirm!

HEY DONT FORGET THE RATS!!!

My Esme is generally a nice and gentle girl but in this case i think i'll let her excercise her demons. Under her command is the rest of my clan: Nikolai, Leia, Half-tail, and Anakin. In fact fellow pet-talkers we have it covered lol no need to worry. My little terror's are quite enough.;) :D :p
