Fair Warning: Unpopular Justice System Opinion to Follow

I have a complete abhorance and disrespect for people who are unkind to animals - especially the ones they've OPTED to take into their homes and adopt as part of their families (which IS what you're doing when you bring home a pet, by the way).

If you can't care for a pet, DO NOT. FUCKING. GET ONE. It's not something you do on a whim - some random "ooh, I want one!" moment and then get annoyed with then you realize how much work it is. Hell, I would LOVE to have a puppy, but do I have one? NO, because I recognize the fact that I am not currently in a situation where I can care for one and it would be unfair to do that to an animal who's going to be dependent on me.

What the fuck is wrong with people? How do you come to the conclusion that shooting your dogs to death is the best way to deal with them when you're going away on vacation? And then to go bragging about it to other people - I can't believe nobody in his firehouse flogged him to death with a hose.

In my personal, Left Wing Weenie, totally Liberal girlie opinion: This man should be tied to a pipe in a basement and shot, execution style, in the head. Twice.
