the man is attempting to atone for his horrible deed- i hardly think it’s anyone’s place to condemn him for making a public display of his desire to both admit his guilt and do something positive to prove he acknowledges the error of his ways.

so many people who apparently have never done a thing wrong in their lives sitting in judgement…particularly of another culture that takes the concept of karma far more seriously and pointedly then we do in the west. people are very good about blabbing about the alleged ‘ karma’ of others when in fact they have never explored the concept of mercy and forgiveness in their own lives if it involves anyone else but their own not so sweet selves. it’s one thing to thoughtlessly kill an animal and be forced to pay some petty fine (if that) and go on in life being a miserable cruel bastard. here’s someone publically- without being forced to-exposing themselves and swearing to go forward and never repeat the offense they acknowledge as wrong- actually being sorry for what one has done and showing it had a negative spiritual impact on your being.

after decades on earth and exposure to the baseness of humanity i have often thought that marrying one of my cats would probably be a far better bet then wasting my affection and time on fickle selfish morally suspect humans.

I guess you’re not as righteous as you think!

1. Did he ever consult a vet about the dog’s condition? If not, then yes, send him to hell. If he did, what did the vet say? In the case of my rabbit, two vets basically threw up their hands and said, “I give up; you’re doing a good job caring for her.”

2. Was the dog’s condition improvable? Sometimes nothing can be done. Then, it comes down to one of two beliefs. Some believe an animal is better off dead than in any pain or discomfort (but they usually don’t believe the same for the human animal) while some (like me) believe that it’s better to be alive and in some minor (not talking about major) pain or discomfort than dead. When I’ve had dying animals, they are on fluids and pain killers in most cases. I let nature/God kill not myself.

3. Did he care for the dog? Did he feed her right, medicate her sores, give her a soft bed, give her pain killers or fluids, and so on? If not, he certainly should never have any animals in his care.

Any person who can’t afford sufficient medical care for animals or children simply should not have them.

This poor animal is in a better place.

MTHRFCKR!!!!

I’m glad the judge in this case banned the POS who neglected his dog like this from owning animals, but instead of making it temporary he should be forbidden to own any animal for the rest of his LIFE. Someone who can let his dog suffer so much isn’t going to turn himself around and become a responsible and caring owner no matter how many years go by.
