How heartless can a human really be?

How does a farm in the “Deep South” have snow?
It do happen. Thursday and Friday gave us about 6" of packed snow a few towns south of the Red River and north of the DFW metroplex. Dallas got more sleet than snow.

My BIL lives in Louisiana and they have seen snow once or twice in a coon's age.

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.
true that ferals are a big prob. according to FWC feral cats are responsible for a big drop in wild bird #s. of course FWC is generally FOS,so i wonder about that. i believe feral dogs either get eaten by or breed with coyotes (?). the stray cats i have had can't catch anything. they just get excited watching the squirrels but that is about it. if people would be responsible in handling their unwanted dogs and cats the problem would not get out of hand-LOL.

Fuckers. Its dumbfounding to me why they dont just put the dogs down (or just spey their bitches) instead of putting them in a bag and hucking them off the road. They think thats better somehow? Too big of pussies to look em in the eye and shoot em? Something about the south, rez's and folks dumping dogs. Its like its a cultural thing with the shittiest of them. I brought one home a few years ago from south Bama. Prick lucked out and wandered into hunting camp starving and shittin worms. Now he's living the high life with acreage, a river, fresh meat for dinner, a sister to pester the hell out of and the old lady that thinks he hung the moon. He's the third one thats been rescued from around that camp by our crew. It seems to be a dumping ground too. There's got to be something to do with proximity from town. Its far enough out and a low enough use road that they think its safe but not so far out to be too inconvenient. At any rate, people that dump dogs have a special place in hell im pretty sure, especially the ones that do shit like put puppies in a bag to suffocate. Cats on the other hand, Meh.....just kidding..
 
I have a cat poisoner in the neighbor hood.

I like animals but I am not going to pretend I really care if some unwanted strays get put down. What pisses me off is people not taking care of their own damn messes. They dump it off on someone else.

My parents neighbors got two cats which turned into 20 inbred cats in a few years. The same kind of situation is why there used to be 50 cats in my neighborhood I assume. We had it down to 20 just homing kittens and paying for neutering. Then our neighbor moves in and poisons our cats trying to get the strays. Poisons all the cats we spayed and neutered too and it's all starting over.

If they are coming onto the property and breaching fences/gates etc, to do this, there is a time window where the fucker's air breathing privilege could be permanently revoked. Imagine a THWACK! as the psycho is about to lay out poison in the darkness thinking they are undetected. Then a 500 lumen light shines in their face and they think they were punched or had an object thrown at them, only to look down and see an arrow skewering them through the lungs up to the vanes. "Hey whatcha doin' bub? Ya' think I ain't seen ya clip that fence and come through, dumbfuck? Get ready to suck Ruth Bader Ginsburg's dick when ya' git down into the fiery place in the next 5 minutes or so"...

What kind of person?

The kind that woudl throw this little critter out in the woods, miles from any house or help, we found him while riding, so ill, we did not expect him to last the weekend. He did and he gave us a year and half of the best any little fellow ever could

Apparently too much to start out with to last very long, but never a more beautiful animal ever walked the face of the earth

More like walking his dog down the alley or running irrigation water and tossing poisoned peices of chicken back there. He told me how he poisoned cats when he moved in before he found out I had cats. You learn a lot when you wind people up and let them talk. Lol

If you can, try to document, record, video, and get that mofo charged. Animal cruelty charges in most jurisdictions, red or blue, range around 1 to 5 year sentences depending on circumstance and actions by the perp, but they are FELONIES. Let that shitbag carry a nice big felony placard through the rest of his days.
 
interesting thread. i bet most here hunt or have hunted. doubt any anti hunters on SH. i bet hunters rescue more critters dogs,cats,horses,pigs,goats et al than the veggie fruit cakes. hunters and other human carnivores don't hate animals. we just know where they fit into the real world. or where they should. most of us value them for what they are. liberal bed wetters ought to see this. but,how? not likely.
 
The best thing to do about having a pet is if you are not showing dogs to simply adopt one at the local animal care facility.

The one in Sherman that I mentioned has been reasonable for a long time. $60 covers their vaxx to date, the adoption fees, and spa or neuter at the participating vet. Any dog or cat should be spayed or neutered. This can be done about any time after 6 months of age. It's the right thing to do for the health of the dog and people in general.

It's okay to buy a particular breed, don't get me wrong, if you are going with a honorable breeder.

One time, I was at the animal care facility and they had this dog and the cage tag said "husky mix." I pulled one of the workers aside and said, "That is not a Siberian Husky (my favorite breed.) That is a Shiba Inu."

He said, "A what?"

My point exactly. At that time, that pup would have cost someone over $1200. And then what? No notice or try to keep the dog contained? Not even a chip.

As my mother would say, "God must love stupid people. He made so many of them."

That's a hell of a lot of rescues and dead animals in one area. Repeat offender?
It’s insane, but it has been like this for years. All farmland, no streetlights, long duration between cars on the road, no houses within eyeshot. Basically the perfect dumping ground. Just found another one tonight. Live male Kangal-looking dog. Not much past puppyhood. Will take photos tomorrow when light. Very friendly. Other dogs don’t seem to mind him. Ate his food like Cookie Monster on a crack bender.

Time to put on all that gear you own and whoop some ass. I mean, surely you can outfit some friends and get down to business
 
Knew a guy who liked to poison dogs with meat soaked in antifreeze. Poisoned a guys dog who loved his dog. Went everywhere with him. Poison man’s house burned shortly thereafter along with his barn. Dam strange for lighting to strike both on the same night.
Would have been a pseudo tragedy had he still been inside when it burned.

Is there some kind of puppy mill nearby or other animal facility/nutjob breeder? Finding another this soon seems very, very suspect. Putting live puppies in a garbage bag is highly unusual.
 
Someone mentioned hound hunters. We have a big group of them around here in Idaho. I was archery elk hunting one September and got into some thick bear sign. Then I started smelling something dead. Followed the smell and found two dead dogs that were rotting and covered in maggots. I couldn’t get close enough to determine cause of death but just assumed maybe they cornered a bear and got too tore up and had to be put down. Then I delivered concrete to a hound hunter. I asked him about it and he said he knows guys that just shoot a dog that isn’t progressing fast enough or is a cull. Sickening how people treat animals that would just love them unconditionally.

Most live ones aren’t in bags. They’re dumped and hide just off the road, usually behind a pasture fence or in a bush. About a month ago we spotted a bag. The dogs ran over and tore it open. Inside were two dead adult turkeys, fully feathered and not dressed. Dogs tore them up and chowed down.

This one is VERY friendly. He didn’t run and as soon as I got within 10 feet and put my hand down he came running over and was instantly my best friend. The other dogs all checked him out, tails wagging, and he immediately took his place in the pack pecking order.

He doesn’t appear malnourished, so maybe there’s an off chance he’s lost and not a dumpoff.
 
the pet dumping seems to be a southern occurance. saw it down there all the time, and around military posts it was especially bad.
i've never seen it up north.

regarding cats....i had my yard over run by feral and strays. it was so bad, my kids couldn't play in my FENCED IN yard. yes, i took action. if it didnt have a collar, too bad motherfucker. i hate motherfuckers that dump animals. and i don't much care for feral cats either. give them both the same treatment for all i care.

There are responsible ways to take care of problems, and fuck everyone else ways to take care of problems. Hope you didn't kill someone else's kids pet.....

Some people are stupid and evil.

Years ago my girlfriend and I were at Earthquake Park in Anchorage and spotted a garbage bag that had some movement. Inside were a bunch of kittens that had been sprayed with Raid bug killer. Most were dead but two still had some life.

One died soon after but the other one hung on. We named him Feeble because he was. When he walked he would stagger like he was drunk and sometimes walking across the back of the couch he would lose his balance and fall off. He lived about three years.

Wonder if it's feasable to put up trail cams to catch the culprits. Sounds like it's a common spot where you're finding em?

If you were nearby, I'd try to see if I could get him from you.
 
I love dogs more than most people. I've picked up dead dogs on the side of the road and buried them, because I love dogs!

Having said that.....I'd never do the same for cats, mice, rodents, flies, spiders, horses, cows, birds, rabbits, etc. My point is, I don't think evil is defined by what kind of animal people gravitate toward. I see plenty of people on here shooting at coyotes, pigs, prairie dogs and what not for the sport, and only for the sport.

Putting a live animal in a bag to die seems pretty shitty, but I have thrown racoons cages in water barrels to avoid the mess of a bullet and blood. Then I have put them in a bag to dispose of them. Fucking things will ravage chickens!!! I have very little empathy for coons, you can throw them in a bag on the side of the road......I wouldn't applaud it or do it, but I wouldn't waste a thought on it.

I guess before we condemn these people to hell, maybe consider that dogs for them might be like coons for me. I can think of a lot of people you can stick in a bag and put on the side of the road. Not really, at least not yet. I think love for animals is somewhat relative to the people and the animal. Aren't the insects you kill with you car daily god's creatures? I know, it's more humane than a bag, right? More human that the stick mats we put down for insects and mice? Pretty sure some people would condemn you to hell for killing mice with poison or stick mates! Not sure how dogs rate highest on my list or maybe yours, but I think it is relative.

What if those cute puppies killed someone's mice? It's probably just shit people doing shit things. Don't forget, we are shit people to A LOT of people, for only enjoying the sport of guns.

I had an orange cat once that acted like a dog but he was all cougar when it came to hunting. You never had to worry about that animal going hungry.

Unfortunately, one time it broke into my neighbor’s house and ate their parakeets out of their closed cage. The cage took a beating before it gave up the goods.

Thank god they were good neighbors and didn’t really care for those noisy fuckers that much anyway. 😳

My current cat Shelby, wants a puppy…….
 
Speaking of coons. The LORD in Heaven knows how I wish I had a video that sunny spring morning.

We had this one raccoon who kept coming onto our porches, fighting with our outside cat and eating everything left out for our critters. So, deciding we needed him gone, we put out a cage and sure enough, the greedy gut individual invaded the trap to get year more Free Food! IN this case the food wasn't free. And he was pissed, I mean Really, Really pissed. So, we carefully used wooden rods to lift the cage and get him in the back of our very old Suburban. Pretty interesting ride. We knew of a nice creek bottom about 7 or so miles from our home. It had a year round creek (pretty darned near a river) lots of woods and if I was a coon, just the place I would want to live. (Off Zoar Road, between the Zoar community and the Womack Community if you are at all familiar with Jackson Parish)

Getting to the bridge across this creek, we found a place to stop, opened up the back of the Suburban and gingerly opened the trap. Out pops Ricky Raccoon, now happy to be free. So, Ricky starts walking across the bridge, on the edge of the bridge. And the best part

The idiot falls off the bridge

He swims to the shore, shakes himself off, acts totally embarrassed and walks off into the woods.

Yep, could have shot him, but really saw no purpose in it. Deer and squirrels for meat, red wasps and paper wasps and cottonmouths and feral hogs for protection. Maybe armadillos though they also attack fire ant nests, so, just depends.

I have been known to dispatch other types of critters and vermin that are destructive to me and mine. But these days and times, I don't see a need, they walk.

But The Bandit, he is our last rescue. We been involved with caring for critters all of our lives. I am ready to let someone else take a turn.

Those fuckers are such a pain in the ass back they get into everything and kill all sorts of animals. I kill them whenever possible a big pellet gun or 22 CBs work great.
 
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.

View attachment 8590394

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?
These pups are absolutely adorable. What kind of evil scum (I won't call it human) does this? Should be wrapped up themselves, put in a bag to suffocate and to really top it off, there are a ton of fire ant mounds that need clearing in 'Bama....

This story reminds me of my wife catching a jumping spider and moving it to one of her house plants. What a great place for a spider, right? It sure was, the new spider didn't make it 30 seconds before another huge jumping spider came out and ate it. 🤣🤣 turns out when there is perfect habitiat there is usually one there already and if it's prime, it's probably the Bubba bad ass version of that animal.

Too bad poison douche didn't burn down in it! I saw a dog that got into antifreeze when my neighbors radiator hose burst in their driveway. That was a horrible way to go.
 
We get a few dumped out by me in Louisiana. Two of mine are rescues and my Catahoula was dumped (he is my best kiddo). One is a rescue from California, another a rescue from Alaska and Chief is from Louisiana. I can't take anymore dogs because Chief, my Catahoula is very territorial and will attack other dogs on the property.
 
Democrats started a fucking civil war because they wanted to own other people and killed 700,000 Americans.

Democrats formed the KKK and murdered, lynched, robbed and raped people for 100 years because they refused to be considered property.

Democrats presidential platform for 1868 was to encourage people to return to slavery because democrats felt it was their right to own people.

Democrats bred slaves by raping them. As long as the product of rape was considered 1/8th black that mostly white person was enslaved and if female forced into prostitution.

Democrats imprisoned Japanese Americans, stole their property and later forced the imprisoned Americans to fight for America.

Joe Bidens personal hero, Strom Thrumond, a democrat senator who was a Grand Wizard in the KKK and had fathered a child by a black woman he raped led the fight against civil rights for black Americans.

Yeah, they treat pets horribly as well. But given a chance they will emulate their heroes Hitler, Stalin and Roosevelt and open gulag for their perceived enemies if given even half a chance.
 
We have that some where I lIve people dumping pregnant dogs and cats puppies and kittens. Several have ended up as our pets.
