There is MUCH worse being done to humans the world over.
Sign a petition about that instead.
I hope I can change your mind about this.
At what point is an animal's life worth more than a human life?
Let's start with a mass murderer. An innocent animal is locked in a cage, as well as a mass murderer. You only have time to unlock one cage. Who do you save? Is the innocent animal worth more than the human in this case? (the mass murdered is handcuffed and won't be able to murder you next...)
What about a rapist? Or a pedophile? A thief? Where would you draw the line?
Or, is each human on earth more valuable than an animal, no matter what?

So what does that statement mean, "it's a dog" ?
Does that mean it doesn't matter what the fuck happens to it ?? I hope you don't own any pets.
Yes things do happens to humans aswell (not sure about much worse than that mind you) but that's for another thread maybe. This thread is about animals and this dog in particular. People on GFY always come out with the same shit in animal cruelty threads.
"But what about the starving kids in Africa!!!"
Why has that got to do with an animal cruelty vid ? Post a vid about starving kids and people will get just as upset. However, it isn't relevant in threads about animal cruelty, at all...

It's not. We evolved and we now eat animals. I honestly cannot see the difference between eating a kitten or eating veal. Eating a beef patty or a dog one.

Well, I don't agree with the death penalty for starters. And most MASS murderers have a deeply rooted mental problem. They are ill. I think it is wrong to punish and kill people that have an illness. I think, as an evolved society, we should HELP those people. Fix their brains and remove their illness. Not kill them.

Again, those people do those things out because something is wrong. Wrong with their heads, or wrong with society. VERY few people I am aware of rape, watch CP or rob people *for a laugh*. They do it because they are compelled to for some horribly dark reason.

Yes.
And animal is an animal.
OK, I am not a bastard. The dog being shot and buried is awful. And shouldn't happen. No doubt. But when there are so very many humans in need of help, I think it's sad people spend energy worrying about walking food.
Let's fix all the humans that are getting fucked over first, and then move on to the animals.

Are you for real? I would pull Hitler out of a burning box if it meant the fire wouldn't burn his foot vs torch an entire litter of puppies. They are dogs. You would let a human being die to save a dog? Now THAT is pretty fucked up!
DamianJ hit it spot on, you yourself and your family have killed (or led to the death of) many animals to stay alive.
Is it okay to kill a cat? A cow? A mosquito? A bear? I assume if a dog was eating you you would just let it eat you and die so it doesn't starve to death?
It means that it is just a dog. And there are more important things to worry about.

No. Where did I say that?

The relevance is about what you spend your time worrying about.
Would it be better to write a letter on behalf of Amnesty for a prisoner of consciouness somewhere being tortured and beaten and starved, or better to post on GFY about a dog?
It means there are more important things to worry about.
I never said there wasn't. However while reading this thread i am entitled to show my disgust at an act of animal cruelty.
Like i say, post about things happening to humans, and i'll speak about that in those threads.
Saying there are other things to worry about, that could be said for EVERY little thing you do during your working day, and saying "oh well, let's not worry about it, there's people getting fucked over in some other country jail or something".
It's THAT relevant...

Yes you are. Where is anyone saying you are not entitled to show your disgust?
The usual GFY "why cry about an animal?" brigade who always appear in these threads, seem to suggest that showing any emotion to an animal, means you don't care about the human atrocities taking place around the world.
Suggesting there's better things to worry about might be right, but it still doesn't mean you can't comment on something as disgusting as this, when that's the thread subject.
If people on here don't care, then don't post about it. I avoid threads which i don't give a shit about (which is growing increasingly it has to be said).
But making out people who do care are in the wrong, IS wrong to be honest...

Who is wasting time? Because we are making posts about it on GFY.
So are you. Why are you not out there solving the worlds problems instead of being on here ??
No the posts on GFY are all wasting time, the real time wasting though is when a newspaper runs the story and tens of thousands of dollars are spent on helping a dog. If it was up to me I would have walked up and put a proper bullet in its head, ending its suffering and then donating the $10,000+ that was spent on getting it out and paying all the doctors to remove those things to hungry children. $10,000 can feed a lot of hungry children, why waste it on some dog?
Are you for real? I would pull Hitler out of a burning box if it meant the fire wouldn't burn his foot vs torch an entire litter of puppies. They are dogs. You would let a human being die to save a dog? Now THAT is pretty fucked up!

Here we go with the lame argument of comparing a cow(which we eat for food) to a dog(who are our loving companions).
---and to compare a dog to a mosquito is even more idiotic. Dogs are just animals, as humans are, and no more important in the scheme of the universe than a mosquito, but we've put a value on them as being above other animals.
The usual GFY "why cry about an animal?" brigade who always appear in these threads, seem to suggest that showing any emotion to an animal, means you don't care about the human atrocities taking place around the world.
Again, don't remember saying that.

Once again, can't remember saying it was wrong to care. I said that there were more important things to worry about, didn't I?
The reason some people care so much about animals(anything other than human) is that they're the most truly innocent creatures on the planet. They're not capable of evil. I wouldn't put the life of an animal over a human that I love, but I can think of some humans that aren't worth my dog's life.
More likely it was a young kid learning how to kill. The article said they removed pellets from the dog, I'm guessing from a pellet gun like many 12 or 13 year old boy would play with. They better find the kid before he graduates to serial killer.
