Watching the Philly news at work this am and come to a disturbing story. It is messed up that a store in the mall like Spencer's can get away with selling shirts let alone... but ya can't wear them in the mall. I posted this on the Kid Rock boards because I am aware of Kid Rock wearing and supporting a similar type shirt. C'mon man.. "this is 'Merica.. we speak 'Merican here"!!!!
I can't help but feel for the family involved being that I myself and my husband just lost his father to cancer last month. I will NEVER step foot into this mall EVER AGAIN !!!
I def would have stopped at either tried to find his home or take him in. We had a few years back behind our house in the woods an old beagle that got disoriented and was lost in the weeds and was barking in circles trying to find his way out. We got him up to the house and then drove around the neighborhood with this old guy trying to find his home. Luckily he had a tag on and we called the animal hospital and it turned out he belonged to our neighbor a few doors down and had broken out of his pen.
I am a firm believer that if you take an animal in you should foremost make sure that they are safe from the roads. My one cat Macy goes outside but when he does he has a harness and 50 ft of rope so he can still ram around the yard but can't go any further.
Too many people take animals in just to say they have one and believe me if I saw one being abused or neglected it wouldn't bother me one bit to blow them in to the animal control.
We have a lot of coyotes around here and bear and mountain lions.. (even though they tell ya there aren't any)
My dogs are never unattended outside.. 3 are let out in the yard and we watch em.. they do their business and come in. and my problem child as I call him..lol.. is a runner so he gets walked on a leash.. simple.. I think people are selfish and cold hearted.
Krfan, the animal control up here is awful... Your lucky if they call back after you leave a message.... It is a very busy highway and I don't go that way too often... I should though look into the animal control in that town, or city if you want to call it that, but I bet they would not do shit.. Oh yeah and when she picked up the dog I saw a ton of fleas on it...yuk... What is wrong with people.. I have a ton of animals and they are clean and my house don't smell, like some houses you go into with cats and or dogs ... I take pride in hearing people that come over and say "damn you wouldn't think you had so many animals" I'm going that way tomorrow so I'll try to see the address and see what I can do...
Since I am an Animal Control Office and I do this for a living. I would have gotten or followed the dog home as you did. I would have given as many citations as they were in violation of. Such as running at large, failure to vaccinate for rabies, no city tag etc... It is obvious by her response the dog gets out or is let out often. I would go back and try to get the address to the owners, then I would report it to Animal Control. If I received this call as a follow up. I would talk to the owners and try to get them to see the light of their wrong doing. When you start talking to them about the liabilities (to the dog and others ie:car accident) that are involved it sometimes makes people pay attention. (more times than not it's like talking to a brick wall). It will at least put them on notice. And maybe Animal Control can patrol that area more and hit them in the pocket book if they see the dog in the future.
i have a dog i certinly would have stopped picked the litle guytook him home geez i cant believe the owner never said ty my dog has a runner even though the neighbor boy always lets him loose ive talked to his mother numerous tiime she dont do anything so now i let my dog out long enough to do his buisness and bring him back inside that and the simple fact we have abobcat running around in our trailer park tried to get a pic of him this morning i wasnt fast enough lol
I agree...people like that should not have animals... So I guess you and Tangie won't be coming to my house anytime soon...lol.... I have ANIMALS......4 dogs....we had 9.....and I lost count on cats...Oh and Miss Jackson (a cat) who ran away for a couple of months came home yesterday....and had 6 kittens...OMG...unfortunetly 2 died... :(
