abused dog .. WARNING GRAFIC PICS..

[wolfsoul]

I believe that pictures have an emotional value to them, and that they are important to be used when educating the world what happens to some animals. Like they say, one picture speaks a thousand words...and these pictures speak a terrible language, but sometimes terrible words can end matters...
I'm not trying to offend anyone, this is only my opinion...

HOWEVER, your warning is uneffective. Perhaps if you spelled your warning correctly it would work better.

Sometimes making comments on others spelling is hurtful..did u stop to think that maybe Tikeya's_mom has a medical condition that stops her from spelling correctly?
Also, I am to blame for putting up pictures in the past...but not one person made a comment to me about posting them..which brings me to confusion
This is all my opinion...I'm got generalizing anything or telling you what to do...just my two cents...

Ok everyone. enough is enough Karen fixed it so that it has to be opened as an attachment. No one is right on this because my feelings on this may not be what you think. So who's feeling would be right or wrong. NEITHER. Lets just say we can all agree to disagree. But by reading all these post and telling Tiekya's mom how wrong it was, I'm sure this child feels terrible for doing something she thought would be educating. I know that she wasnt trying to offend anyone, So with that being my opinion I think it is time to move on to more positive threads, let this one drop because it has turned into "oh my feeling are hurt, I'm offened, I'm right & you are wrong." blah, blah and so on. I will post to examples

would you believe your next door neighbors kids 11 and 13 would set your dog on fire with gasoline. No they wouldnt do that, well they did (wasnt my dog) but the little terrier mix live the next 5mths at Auburn university Vet School.

Would you believe that your boyfriend would get mad and go to your house and stick a shotgun up your dogs butt and shoot it. That happened here in Columbus GA and the dog was still alive when the animal control and care center came to pick it up. The dog was PTS

I hope that I have not offended anyone that is not my aim,
But this thread was to be about abused animals and not anything else.

I dont feel terrible, I feel good that ppl are here looking at the pics and reading the stories. I thank you for your input oodles. I am a teenager with a great love for dogs and all animals and I wanted to share it with you all. These stories were true and harsh but they moved me and I hoped they moved you all as well, not moved as in discusted but moved as in you want to change this kind of unhuman behavior. I know I want to.

I would like to compliment Oodlesofpoodles and tikeyasmom...as also Captain,Sudilar,Sammi,etc.

I have to agree with them all....
some people need a wake up call.....and yes, your post makes me want to work harder than I already do in Rescue....

You guys have all made such Valid points...and joined the discussion so responsibly....

I for one Thank You For that...

Lets' see if we can work at making these situations non-existent....
instead of arguing over them...
that is where the energy needs more focus!!!!!

definately agreed This isn't something that's supposed to offend people. it's something that's supposed to make them realize what's going on...and feel great that their animals are being well taken care of.

[tikeyas_mom]

I couldent have said it better my self lol

[aly]

You sort of have the wrong audience here.

YES people DO need to be educated and I'm all about throwing those kind of pics into the average Joe's face. We have a framed poster at work with a little puppy sitting in front of a pile of dead animals at a landfill making a statement about how many innocent lives are lost. Its disturbing and I have to see it every day but I encouraged them to hang it up because I believe that the people who come in NEED to see it.

Now, we at PT have a huge understanding of abuse. For those who don't, they can simply click on the LINKED PICTURES. I see ENOUGH first hand abuse at work to haunt me for a LIFETIME. It is thrown in my face every single day and I spend every single day in either the shelter I work at or the one I volunteer at trying to make a difference. I would like to come here and try to forget about these things.

Anyway, it is not an awful request to ask for posting them as attachments. Some of us can't handle it well and already have to handle it enough. Can we just please DROP THIS NOW!!!!!

[tikeyas_mom]

I am not sure if this issue is quite ready to be dropped. I didnt know how to post attachments and there was soo many websites I went to to find info that I didnt feel it nessisary to post links as well. This is an animal ABUSE section and dont come to it if you want to get away from the images.

[oodlesofpoodles]

Aly we have all said the same thing, if you had read my post you would have known. Maybe she didnt know how to post as an attachment, I don't know how to, I just learned how to post pics. And you are not the only one to see this day in day out. I do to. If you dont want to see don't look in the threads that say abused graphic or grafic how ever it is spelled. Her topic stated that is was graphic nature and you chose to look as everyone else did, and I to. I didn't really enjoy the pictures they made me sick to my stomach. But who's fault is it, mine and mine alone, because I chose to look. The pictures have been made in to attachments now. So I do agree with you to JUST DROP IT. And everyone needs to get off tikeyasmom's back about this. She is a teenager and felt that it was important to her. This is a no win deal. Because no one is right or wrong on this. And like I said before this was to be a thread on abuse and abuse only, not anything else.

[aly]

You didn't read my posts either. I did NOT look at the pics. I don't want to be haunted anymore than I already am, thank you. I know I am doing the wrong thing by responding to this thread again but gimme a break. If you don't know how to post an attachment, ASK!!!!!!! It would take probably about 20 minutes or less to get a reply if you asked during a peak hour. Also, Naomi explained it so that shouldn't be a problem for her in the future.

And if you don't know, almost all of this poster's threads have been so controversial. I really do not see the problem you guys have with us more sensitive ones requesting attachments. Sometimes I think people are just trying to stir stuff up around here.

Yes, I believe it IS ready to be dropped. Now why don't you do what you just said and focus on helping the abuse, not whether it was right or wrong to post the pics, ok?

It appears that we are all on the same page. Animal abuse is a horrifing thing, and needs much more immediate attention. I have read the attachment. I too could not handle the picutres, knowing what horror animal abuse can bring. I read the stories but heeded the "warning picutre are graphic". I just scolled down not wanting to see them. We all want the same thing here, but since animal abuse hits a very raw nerve, feelings and emotions get frayed. Let's get the word out and work together on what we all feel is a very important thing to stop. Put some of this anger in letters to our Mayors, Congressmen or women, Govenors, President.... anyone that will listen that can help.

I did read your post and nowhere in it did it say you didn't look. and as for asking, I do ask. And the pictures have been made into attachments. and to your comment "I don't want to be haunted anymore than I already am, thank you." Then I would suggest you make a change in your job field. And I do not have a problem with you being more sensitive, as I said before the pictures have since been made into attachments. They were attachments when I looked. And as for as trying to stir up stuff, By repeating post after post the pictures have been made into attachments and to lay off tikeya's mom, then I am guilty of it.

[aly]

I said that in one of my earlier posts on this thread. I'm pretty much done with this. PM me if you would like further information from me.

As for changing my job field, n-e-v-e-r. It is my passion and it is all I ever do. I would be lost and have no purpose if I didnt do this. Yes, I choose to traumatize myself by exposing myself to the horrors. But I also make a difference doing it. I really can't make a difference by looking at the pictures in this thread. About the only thing I could do is go lay in bed and cry for a long time if I saw them.

*BTW, I was not referring to you when I said some people like to stir things up*

[oodlesofpoodles]

I stand corrected. On the 1st page of this thread Aly you did say that you did not look, I own you an apology, That was 5 pages ago. But my reply was to the 2nd post on this page and the Third post. All I was trying to say is the THE PICTURES ARE IN ATTACHMENT FORM NOW. and I am sure that in the future Tikeyasmom will post as attachments. and she even said she was sorry and that she did not know how to post as attachments.
