How heartless can a human really be?

[TheHorta]

Most of us have seen some pretty horrible things and met some seriously evil people.

My wife and I walk a few miles together each day. For some reason, in the rural Deep South, many people have absolutely no natural sympathy for animals. It is shocking how often we run across dead or dying puppies and kittens dumped on the road just a mile from our house — like at least a dozen times or more per year.

We’ve rescued, conservatively, 30-40 cats and dogs that survived and 2-3 times that number we found dead, often tied inside Hefty bags or just tossed out while moving.

We were walking and spotted a large contractor garbage bag about 6-10 feet off the side of our road. As we got closer we saw the bag move, which is not uncommon. These two puppies were inside — one boy, one girl. I’m surprised they hadn’t suffocated, which means they were probably dumped a few minutes before we got there, as the bag was tied shut and there were no holes.

They were super shy and afraid at first and hid under the stairs.

I can’t help but wonder what kind of human would do something like that to such docile, innocent animals. It’s no coincidence that most twisted serial killers start by abusing animals first.

What’s that old expression about knowing a man by how he treats animals?

 

[db2000]

Unbelievable

 

[sirhrmechanic]

They are in good hands now... that matters.

Have you thought about taking the bag to the police? There are laws against animal abuse! And bet there are prints on the bag!

[Jscb1b]

Find them. Tie them up. Stick them into a contractor bag.

 

[Milf Dots]

There are way too many sociopathic types around the world- they have no empathy. It's very easy to just take animals to any county or private animal shelter, but they'd rather act out their evil.

 

[375fan]

Cute puppies! You've done a good dead for sure.
Reality is the majority of people just plain fkng suck on so many levels. Look around the world and over time at how humans have treated each other like total crap, so no stretch that they have no problem treating animals like garbage.

@sirhrmechanic

While the cops do have the ability to chase down prints, most cops in the south are chasing tweakers, and I doubt they’d take the time to look into it.

Unfortunate but true.

At least in Mississippi.

Talk to a K-9 officer or an ACO... really. Worst they can say is no. But those dudes take their dogs seriously. And dog abusers even more seriously.

Besides... they may just find the next Hannibal Lecter?

If they can put the habeus grabus on someone... or ID them for 'future reference...' it's a win!

If its always in the same area. Set up a trail cam in a lock box.

Some people need killin’

 

[kenny1773]

there are a lot of piece of shit humans out there.

This is my dog

her and her 2 siblings were left in a cardboard box by the side of the road somewhere in AL (they wouldn't say where but it must have been TheHortastreet)

She was the only survivor, we rescued/adopted her when she was only a couple months old

This pic was just taken, she is about 11 years old now. She is a good dog, and always has been. Its almost like she knew she was left for dead and is just happy to be alive.

 

[sirhrmechanic]

Old Texas saying: “There’s more men that need ‘killin than there are horses that need ‘stealing.”

Paraphrase as needed.

[Steel+Killer]

Odd how timing works I was just sitting here on the couch with my two year old female lab laying on my lap looking at her thinking to myself how can anyone mistreat these wonderful animals and then on my laptop I happen to click on this thread.

Anyone that would do something like that is a miserable piece of shit of a human.

Only thing that keeps me from helping some people meet their maker early is I know one day I will be judged by mine.

It's horrible. Unfortunately, I've done this more than once myself. My inlaws still have one of them and she's just a wonderful little dog. She was in a box on the side of the road at least. I can't imagine any human doing that but it happens a lot. I've also found dead puppies in a trash bag before. I'm a huge advocate of spaying a neutering ALL dogs and cat that aren't committed to breeding for a reason.

There's a lot of info now about large breeds perhaps having some development issues as a result of neutering too early but after 18 months it's pretty well agreed that it's only a benefit to health. Ending this misconception that "it changes their personality " and that being a reason for not spaying and neutering pets is a much needed and big step towards righting this problem.

Can't count how many "dump dogs" , I've brought home in my lifetime and all of them sent/ had that vibe.

All of them loyal and very protective of me and mine.

Which brings back memories of " Yoda" . It was one of those HOT ass July days we have in Dixie when I pulled into the " pitch in" to throw away garbage and from the back out runs this little cur dog mix ,ears at full attention ,tail waging like an airplane prop. Wasn't a drop of water anywhere close but I had a half of watermelon with the heart eatin with plenty of juice left floating round . I put it down for him and lapped it up ,then sat down looking at me as saying...." Ok ,I'm ready to go with you now"

Ok turdhead ,come on , I says and loaded him up.

Edit : posted before story is over

Rest of story..... This fucker grows up , chews insulation off of covered outside pipes RIGHT BEFORE a rare ice storm/ week long hard freeze. No need for details, y'all know.
Different time: Chewed the fucking seat off my JD lawnmower ,along with the throttle knob, AND somehow managed to pull the key from the ignition....lost it.

Needless to say ,I wanted to 45 his ass right between the eyes many a time.......but refrained....well, because I liked him....kinda ,and he was a good "yard dog" ,regardless of all his fuckups

Yoda lived close to 6-7 years and out of the blue, up and kicked da bucket on us. So sad, but on the other hand,kinda glad.......no ,not really "glad" ,but more of a relief.

And there entails the adventure, trials ,tribulations and saga of "Yoda"

Stay tuned for the story of "Grinner"...... which may,or may not be told.

Animal cruelty?

Very, very common.

They’d kill dogs that were “getting in the way of hunts” or “trespassing on their property” with little hesitation, without even getting into any conversation with their next - door neighbors over it first.

Back in the day, pre - AI censoring…

This was on YouTube.

Some hicks strung this piglet up, fired arrows on it, pulled them out, fired again…

Not sure if this fine example of humanity is termed a sadistic sociopath or psychopath.

This was from more than a decade ago, but it might be worthwhile to remember that face, for reference.

 

[BuildingConceptsllc]

A lot more than that. Some do it to their own children. And worse.

Yeah, considering how common people in this country murder their own babies...I guess it should be expected they don't value any life, but damn that's cold to put a little puppy in a plastic bag and throw it out the window

 

[Mwalex]

I use to follow animal rescue groups on IG but it got so bad I had to take a break. People use animals to tune their skills for children and adults. It is a problem that can be fixed but people have to be willing to do it.

 

[Sean the Nailer]

Is it judgemental for me to state that there are more animals that need feeding than 'humans' that need breathing?

(no, I'm not suggesting the removal of all humans. Not at all. It's just that the numbers aren't exactly 'small', either)

 

[mosin46]

people do the same to cats also. the 5 have have had here were all basically dumps,not feral. all went straight to using the litter box,how to learn the feeding routine,how to signal "let me in" and where to sleep-in the bed when i shut down for the night. am close to a univ and when school lets out 2x/yr we see a lot of "release to the natural world". most end up coyote food.

You don’t wanna know how many dogs I found that people drug into the state forest and shot, and left the body there…dog hunters were the worst of the bunch for this…

 

[mosin46]

yea,hate dog hunting for several reasons but the way they are commonly treated is sickening. that esp goes for hog catch dogs.

 

[NoDopes]

You've done a good dead for sure.

Good deed. DEED.

I suddenly want to adopt a puppy

 

[Ronws]

At the Sherman (Texas) Animal Control facility, there was a disfigured female black lab. She would live out her life there.

Her previous owner poured gasoline on her and set her on fire. Someone called 911 and the dog was rescued. But they could not adopt her out because of stupid politics. The sack of shit that lit her on fire was "amish." And you cannot deny adoption based on skin color and ethnic heritage.

She had learned to distrust anyone who was not pasty white and even the pasty white made her a bit leary.

So, yeah, there are times I wish I could ask God when he was sparing Noah, "Man, what the hell were you thinking?"

And He would respond, "I know, right?"

 

[Edsel]

I still have the original video for reference.

This is a GIF conversion.

GIF initially appears as a blank space, and takes some time to load.

Piglet was shot twice, the first was relatively close to the surface but with an entry and exit hole nevertheless. Women and children were laughing and giggling in the background. Men were commenting on the broadhead. Second shot killed the piglet, which was grunting in pain prior.

People can be horrible creatures worthy of extermination.

that reaches Dachau level. really not a surprise.

 

[TheHorta]

We currently have 8 dogs and 9 cats — all of them throwaways from the same 1,000-foot radius area on our street.

This was taken last week. “Moose” is the latest find. She’s the one standing over the yellow lab (Eden). We had to amputate Eden’s right front leg, shoulder and all. Behind Moose and Eden are John-Mark and Napoleon. Both were tossed out as weeks-old puppies. Napoleon was with his mother and two sisters — all 4 rescued last year and living the high life on our farm.

This is Julie. She was a throw-away kitten from a few months ago. She wouldn’t have survived the day. She was on the road and would’ve been killed by any passing car or, if she made it to the woods, our massive coyote infestation would’ve eaten her later that night.

We nursed Julie back to health and just a few months later she basically owns the house and rules over the dogs with an iron fist. She’s in my face — literally — every opportunity she gets, especially if I’m trying to eat. She’s now a 100% daddy’s girl.

These are my wife’s babies. This was taken day before yesterday after we got hit with a massive winter bomb cyclone that dumped nearly two full inches of snow and plunged temperatures to a lethal 28° above zero. It was the coldest day on earth.

[Darryle]

There are some vile people who should pray certain good people don't come down with a terminal illness.

I had a horse that was starved nearly to death, I put him in a pen with a round bale of hay, he took nearly 6 months to recover, no matter when I came around, he was there to greet me. I swore that I would see that man punished before he died, it never happened.

A evil person should pray they never meet a good person forced to do bad things.

 

[Major Wader]

Y'all must not live in the country on a side road. We deal with 2-4 discarded cats every month, and at least 6-8 discarded dogs every year.

I care about animals and try to find homes, but also do not have any need or desire to have dozens of critters roaming my place. Feral cats and dogs impact the food source for bobcats, foxes, coons, and possums, none of which prey around our feeding stations when the songbirds are mobile.

A cat trap is set about 50% of the time here. If you need/want a barn cat, let me know.

 

[JMGlasgow]

My dog Sydney (now deceased) was dumped twice in the desert north of Rock Springs by 2 separate people. That is what we were told anyway. The guy that gave her to us said he couldn't control her, she was a runner, and violent toward other animals. None of that was true. She took in 2 other dogs as if they were her own almost immediately. She just needed someone to give a damn about her. She was the best dog I've ever had, and is sorely missed.

That picture absolutely melts my heart. I can't say what I think should happen to animal abusers, i'm pretty sure just the fantasy is a felony. Our dogs are family, loved just as hard, and treated just as well. We have a cat that can be an absolute asshole sometimes, but she's an absolute killer of small birds and moles. She likes to leave 'em right outside the front door, she's probly trying to tell us we're shitty hunters or something. Pisses my wife off all the time because she keeps eating humming birds. Told the wife it's her fault for putting the hummingbird feeders so low.

 

[Big Phish]

Man this killed my day to see this about these damned people doing this animals!
Now I'll be more heartless to POS vile degenerates for awhile.

Every once in while I see dogs and cats come on the farm while night hunting but it never occured to my mind to take an stray animal regardless. I can see a park across the street with my binoculars as the parking lot is always lit up. I see POS degenerates come in the middle night dumping off animals. A few times I felt like taking out their windshields when they pull out.

 

[mewillis]

Evil walks among us 24/7, there truly is no shortage of depravity in this world. Just think how many people you've met in your life that hide the fact that they are also evil people and you never suspected until they are exposed. It's truly chilling especially when it could be the one you least expected, a family member or a "trusted" friend or acquaintance...........
If you get through life without ever meeting one you truly are blessed.
