Local woman uploads pic of dog with duct-tape on it's snout to Facebook

[BUTCH1]

I guess the dog would not stop barking so she wrapped a few links of duct-tape around it's snout to get it to stop barking. The tape was removed in a minute or two, Her mistake was loading the pic on Facebook. now the town has received over 32,000 calls and thousands of emails urging action, turns out the woman is not in our city at the moment but police promise a complete investigation when she returns. I'm sorry, but to me that's not animal cruelty. Maybe she should invest $5 in a muzzle which would accomplish the exact same thing. link

You don't think taping his mouth shut is a problem? Assuming it was a kid instead, if it was screaming would a good parent wrap duct tape around his head & mouth so it would shut up?

Possibly. I grew up in the days were parents actions were rarely questioned and corporal punishment was common.

What if she would tape her husbands mouth shut, then it would be ok? What if i had a pet rat and i would tape its mouth shut also, oh its a rat no one cares.

Rats can't bark.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

The stupid public media has this problem with PERCEPTION. It's a complex word for them, I know. They PERCEIVE duct tape to be the equivalency of cruel and unusual punishment, but if it's a muzzle, then it's perfectly acceptable.

I'm not saying I support the woman's actions - I'm simply saying you deem one acceptable and one cruel/unusual... In reality, they are both the same god damn thing.

 

[TheVrolok]

Yeeeaahhh.. that's animal cruelty. Pretty simple and I don't really see how there's any room for argument aside from whether or not you're "okay" with that level of animal cruelty. Certainly, it doesn't mean she's out there sponsoring dog fighting rings or torturing animals on a daily basis - but this specific incident is simply cruel.

Duct tape on a fur covered area of the face and a properly designed are not the same thing. Are you serious? Sure they accomplish similar tasks, but with entirely discordant means.

If you think that was cruel, this is so much worse. PIC

I'm a little grumpy having just woken up so this may seem harsh but it's true.
You grew up in the days when parents taught their children. From birth the kids watched daddy bring food through the door at night and saw mommy clean the house and cook the meals and that's what kids learned. Kids now learn to shovel fast food while gleaning their life lessons from their iPhone. They are fat and stupid and getting worse.

Society used to keep parents in check because people were concerned with airs and appearances and your social circle was your neighborhood. If you weren't raising your kid within acceptable parameters you were a pariah and the whole town gossiped about your evil ways. On Sunday the preacher glared right at you from the pulpit while delivering his sermon about losers being suck-ass parents. You were basically bullied into raising your children like human beings.

Nowadays nobody cares wtf you do as long as you're not doing it to them and here we are.

I wouldn't do it to a dog but, I'd definitely do it to a kid.

Except that a muzzle is designed to not inflict pain. Have you ever put duct tape on your hairy skin and tried to pull it off? Enough said.

Observation: these images of animals being abused, even marginally, apparently get more people in a rage, making phone calls, commenting on social media, etc., than a similar image of someone doing that to a child. Seems that it elevates the level of indignation when it's an animal rather than a young child.

E.g., locally, someone got a puppy for free, then turned around the next day and posted the puppy for sale on social media. Hundreds upon hundreds of posts gossiping about it - how it was cruel and inhumane and unfair to the puppy. Locally, an 18 month old was just beaten to death by a boyfriend of the mother. The boyfriend had previously been jailed for breaking the arm and ribs of an infant girl. Number of posts on social media over a similar time frame is only a fraction of those for the evil puppy reseller.

I'd agree with that but I don't think the pain would be horrible and it would only last for a minute. In the big picture of animal abuse this is being over-reacted to IMO. Our PD had so many calls last night real emergency calls could not get through.

Why are you stooges talking about muzzles - have you ever owned a dog? Muzzles don't keep a dog from barking, they just keep it from opening its mouth wide enough to fit most human body parts inside it.

If the photo were properly staged (the duct tape was placed face-to-face to prevent sticking to fur and slid over the snout) it would just be a cute photo. Like bonsai kittens or something.

Unfortunately, it looks rather tight and sticky in the photo, so the dog probably experience some pain when it came off. But I bet he was glad to get it off anyway.

Incorrect like usual, retard.

I'd be completely in favor of that.

:thumbsdown: Dogs don't sweat. They cool their body temperature by panting and there is no way a dog could pant with its snout taped shut. With a muzzle the dog would still be able to pant.

This is animal cruelty and probably illegal as well.

They can pant in a muzzle, but not very well. Nor do we know if the dog in the pic was hot or needed to pant. It is illegal and the cops are waiting for her to return to town to file charges.

Absolutely not, but a kid is a human being.

Yes, I think this is animal cruelty, too, but comparing it with a human child is asinine. Yes, I know a lot of people who do think their pets are their 'children', and yes, I think they're absolutely silly.

It's refreshing to see someone that gets it around here. :thumbsup:

I don't expect any thing different because we abuse and kill animals all the time. Look no further than our food source. Cows are raped and their young ripped from them when they are born. Pigs and chickens are forced into dark holding cells until their throats are slit for human consumption.

The Holocaust was first practiced on animals before it was introduced to the Jews. The animal Holocaust is still going on as we speak. So, it doesn't surprise me when I see people treating dogs like sh*t.

can this woman come do it to my neighbor's dog?

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

I've highly contemplating throwing bacon-wrapped rat poison over my neighbors fence plenty of times.

Sadly, I reason with myself and keep telling myself over and over - It's a shitty owner, not a shitty dog. Hey - that same logic applies to fucking annoying kids too!

But no seriously, these fucking retards have no idea how to care for a pet. There's a lot of people that live around me that live by this old "Dogs belong outside" - and thus keep them outside, overnight, 24/7. Nevermind that climate's change, and certain dogs do not belong in certain climates. During the winter, the neighbors still leave their dogs outside all-night and all we hear all night is yap yap yap yap yap yap yap. Obviously they are cold as balls and want to come in.
