There Are Some Sick People!

[meow_mix450]

Hi

This is a little rant that I have to tell someone. It's 1 in the morining and I have no one else to tell.

I was suppose to go see a movie last night at 10:30. So me and my friend meet half way at a bus stop and we chit chated about stuff. But now its been 10mins.

We spotted a golden retriever, that was lost. But we thought someone had let it out of the house or something so we let him be. But 5 mins past by and the dog is now further down the street. Then I started saying to myself "He's lost we should go get him".

But by now the dog is on the road...now its 9:30, dark and barly any cars...the dog is on the road and my friend and I saw a SUV truck heading towards him. We intentionally thought the guy would stop and let the dog pass by or something...

We guessed wrong...he speed up and ran right into the dog, the dog was hit hard and it went under both the front and back wheel(imagine a big cardboard box being run over)...as he drove off we were shocked we were unable to get the license plat number. Were so upset and angry that we started to yelling at the guy as he drove by. Both my friend and I saw the side of his face. This guy was a sick person.

We quickly ran towards the dog as it was crying and screaming for help. Once we got there he kept quite. A lady and a guy stopped the car and got out to see what has happened. The lady was a vet in guelph and was to far to drive to her area for help. So the guy called the humane society of Toronto but was put on hold. The lady(vet) said that the dog was dying and needed help fast...

The dogs eye was beginning to shut and blood was comming on the side of the mouth. He couldnt move anything and was helpless.

So he hung up and they decicded to drive them there. We also had a another guy and a lady stop to help carry the dog inside the car.

Now there are some sick people out there and this is one of them. If you see any kind of animal please stop, have a heart. It could have been a kids best friend that you just killed. I wish to find this guy who did this to the poor dog...We missed our bus and caught the next one. It was the first time I have witnessed such a horrific scene in my life and wish to never see it again. I am not sure if the dog has made it or not and I hope it did.

But I was glad that the lady had stopped and it just so happened she was a vet. Also thanks to the couple that helped place the dog in the car, because I don't know what I would have done if none of these people has stopped.

Sorry for my ranting but I needed to tell someone.

Thanks for reading...

OMG!! that is horrible! I would like to run that guy over! i can't believe what some people will do to animals! I hope the dog made it but by the sounds of it, it doesn't look hopeful It just makes me want to cry. You did a good thing.....thank you for being one of the good ones

That's absolutely awful. I'm sorry you had to witness something so horrible. I feel really bad for the dog and even worse for the little kid that will probably never see his best friend again. Some people are disgusting. I'm a strong believer of karma, and I truely wish instant karma upon this scumbag.

That's disgusting if I had anything at all I would have threw at the truck as it passed just hoping he'd stop so I can give him a lil piece of what he gave that poor dog, scum bag. But Hump is right karma is against this prick. I've seen people intentionally hit squirells, nothing I could do but once it was on my road and heading towards the end (it's a short road that end at a huge campsite which is where I figure he was coming from) sure enough he was going to the camp site and I stopped him at the front gate but Encon got to me before I could do anything but the guy claimed it was an accident, obviously not though when you see them speed up and swurve to hit it scum bags

"That's disgusting if I had anything at all I would have threw at the truck as it passed just hoping he'd stop so I can give him a lil piece of what he gave that poor scum bag"

MEOW:

That is very saddening and very good of you and the rest who tried to help an animal in need, especially one injured by a person who has no respect for animals.

On a related issue.

Back in the fall of 2003. I saw something that I did not think would happen let alone so close to me (being a serious animal lover). I was with some friends in a car wash where we were washing our cars in car ports (not automatic types). We were having fun and enjoy the time there washing our cars at around 11pm at this 24 hour carwash. Then a large pick up truck came in as well and decided to take the farthest car port along the wall. We thought nothing of it as its anyone choice which port you want to wash your car.

After some time I noticed he turned on the truck and backed up a bit to show the tail section past the curtain. Again thought nothing of it. The all of a sudden saw 3 dogs running around the car wash area. I believe a sheapard, a sheapard cross, and a rottweiler. The were super friendly running into each post wagging tails. Then the owner called them and as loyal pets they ran back to him. Again thought nothing of it. While there were 6 of us washing our cars and 2 taxi' s there was alot of noise from that alone but I then heard something not normal in a car wash. Yelping or crying out loud like dogs do if you step on there toes by accident. So I heard these noises and saw no dogs or water being sprayed on that truck since the noise was coming from that area. Me and 2 friends decided to check this out.

Well I was disgusted, angry, and ready for a fight. We 3 saw these dogs leashed up to the wall where u put your floor mats to wash them. These dogs were getting a wash instead. But this ain' t how simple low pressure water hose its high volume high pressure water guns that can easily knock ice off your cars let alone simple dirt. These dogs were being turtored with this high pressure at 4-5 feet away from them.

We yelled at the owner and he got jumpy, while a friend ran to get our cells to call the police he got his dogs loose, we got affraid a bit because this helping scene could turn into a dog attack on us. But he ran into his truck and got 2 dogs in as well. Was to affraid of the situation that he bolted out of there and left the rottie behind. We got his plate and the police and humaine society was there as well for the dog.

Even after all that pain the dogs were in, they still listened to the owner and with tails wagging they jumped into the truck. Talk about a man' s best friend even after torture.

I do not know what the police did with the information we gave them. But I hope they looked into it and saved the other 2 dogs.

Sorry this is my rant but since I saw your dog story I did not want to make to threads on dog issues.

Out in Manitoba there are tons of snakes in my area on the roads in breedign season as the snakes make there way out and in to the dens, and I see people run the snakes over on purpose lots, you let the wildlife know and they get a hefty fine, serves them right.

That is horrible... Some people need to be beat...... makes me very angry!!!!!

Makes me remember... back probably 5-6 years ago when I was living in Kelowna.... I was driving with a friend one night and we came across a lab that had been hit... was right in the middle of the road... could not be mistaken.... I could NOT BELEIVE how many people just kept on driving!!!! And I know this cause I was stuck at a light with a good ten people in front of me before we arrived were the dog was.... then when we pulled over to tend to the dog.... so many people just kept on driving by... not one person offered any help, when it was obvious somthing was wrong, as I had the lane blocked off with my truck..... It was horrible to see a helpless animal with no one to help it.... It was fairly late, and did not know who to call, so I just called 911... they didn't take me very seriously, maybe because it was just a "dog" right..... you'd be surprised how iggnorant the dispacther was.... Finally a cop came to where we were with the dog.. we had covered him up with a blanket, and just sat there petting him.. it was all I could do to comfort the animal... so my buddy and I put the dog in the back of the cops car, and the officer waisted no time... lights even, and took the dog to an 24 animal hospital....... Well about a month later coquincidently (sp) enough I had run into the same officer outside the bar strip one night... and I was pretty sure of the answer, but had to ask any ways... the lab never made it...... made me very upset, at the iggnorance of people now a days.... if I seen the person who hit the dog and kept going I would have prob followed them until they got out of their car and beat the crap out of them.... I'm very Tempermental...... lol

sorry for going on for so long... just reading this post made me remember about that sad experience ,so I though I'd share it also...

[CHRISANDBOIDS14]

These are horrible stories! Its sad to see such ignorant B@$T@RDS in this world!

Its good to see you all did the right thing!

Even though Im just shy of 15, I would do anything im my power to screw up anyone that did such a horrid thing.

Such sick people in our world. I've seen snakes that were right in the middle of the road or on the far shoulder, places where you DONT drive, and they are smushed. How sick can you get?

Im sure the animals appreciated all of your efforts!

You know what's even more twisted?

It is illegal to stop, or swerve to avoid a small animal such as a dog, cat, raccoon, squirrel, etc. What you are "supposed" to do is continue driving. Ugh...

[meow_mix450]

so what if there was a family of deer? Do you keep driving then? lol I know your just the messenger.

Did I not say "small animal"?
