Bums and dogs...

[HomeLessBeans]

Damn I was sure I answered this First..Oh well drugs may be a factor.

If you would steal from someone who has almost nothing you are lower than they are. Do not try to pretend your are any better because you can 'justify' your motives.

Not all street people want a Home. Some prefer to be away from folks who judge them. They have no desire to be saved

Any of you spend any time among the street folk??? Are you forming these opinions from the comforts of home,driving by? I think the latter..

The ones with dogs that I personally know take better care of their dogs than most of the rich I know take care of their children.

I think it would depend on an individual account. Perfect example is the dog in my neighbors yard. Dude cries everyday, it's a huge, 150+lb Rott, way too big and dangerous to steal (although it's crossed my mind!). It would probably chew the fuck out of my throat before I ever got it to safety, not to mention my 15lb dog it would eat for fuckin' dinner that I love if I brought it into my yard. Our city's protocol on animal abuse is waiting 10 days, seeing if it's still bitching, then calling again, then getting a letter sent to the house about it.. so yeah, hopefully the motherfucker survives that long if something serious is actually happening. IOW, they don't actually give a fuck about animals in the city. 10 days is plenty of time for an animal in extreme enough conditions to die at least twice. This dog is just in a cage everyday. It's sad as fuck. Why even have a dog if you just lock it the fuck up like that?

But would I steal it? I don't think I could for one, although it would probably be the right thing to do, as the asshole neighbors don't treat it right.. but it would probably fuck me and my other dog up.. Once I went out there and tried to get its attention n shit, just to see how it was, if it was friendly or whatever.. instantly started barking.. lol.. I don't blame it.. I'd be pissed too.. shit. But those dogs are genuinely dangerous, Idk if you've ever seen a Pitt up close but goddamn, they actually scare you. You get the feeling they could actually kill you, like you would if a Lion was walking around.. My friend had one, and it started growling at me one time! Omg! I almost pissed my pants dude, not kidding! They're really muscular animals. Try petting one if you ever get the chance, lol, it feels like they work out.

It deserves a better home though, definitely. I feel bad for it..

Pits CAN be dangerous, but not ALL are dangerous.
A good friend of mine has a very nice Pit, she will let you IN the house, but won't let you OUT of the house without protest because she likes everyone.
She is also very protective of the children.
I am a firm believer that it all depends on the owner

 

[imchucky666]

ARGHHH I dare ya! !View attachment 2304420 She is a pit/lab/dalmatian! She was not growling by the way! I caught this right after she licked her nose. She is a total lover. I dont even think she has had a chance to se a rated "r" movie.

LOL
Looks like she is saying 'Anotherrrrrrrrr bone please'

Our pit bull is the opposite of a guard dog...but he looks like a guard dog and that is good enough for me...Lol. My toddler rides him like a strange pony on occasion and he seems to enjoy the interactions...I have had a lot of pit bulls and pit bull mixes. I like a big square head. Anyway, They are great dogs, happy with just food, water, and company.

How come the only options are Stealing it or leaving it...What about going to the grocery store and buying it a big fat chicken

 

[ted bundy]

The proper steps in that situation would be to call the cops and wait for them to come while she gets her ass beat.

Sometimes you gotta take matters into your own hands.


FUCK DA POLICE!

your internet muscles are Showin. Be careful you might rip your shirt. Fuck da police do you live in compton? Not all cops are assholes. Not really trying to get into that. Once again stealin is stealin.

lol... Did you think I was serious about "fuck da police"? hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

That's funny dude.. Why would I mispell the word "the" on purpose? And it's not about muscles when it comes to stopping a girl getting beat. I'm pretty sure every guy I know would do something about that. If you wouldn't ,you're just a pussy.

 

[Hepheastus420]

I'm surprised I got caught up in all this.. I mean, h8 gave the dog a real home and I'm trying to prove that point.. But there's no point in doing so. The dog will have a better life now and everybody can just bitch about it if they want lol.

What bothered me is that you've broken it down into a simplistic moral dilemma. You posit that if Homeless Guy keeps dog, that proves he's selfish. I don't agree with that judgment, and without it your case doesn't hold together. My opinion. cn

 

[blazinkill504]

if the dog has health issues then yea it is selfish of the homeless dude. he doesnt have the dogs best interest in mind just his own.

 

[Trolling]

fuck that hobo. he wants to have a dog an keep one go get a fuckin job an stop bein a failure is my opinion. that dude could go get some slick ass clothes from good will an lie his tits off about havin a address on a burger king application. i dont wanna hear all that bullshit he cant get a job he just aint tryin.

I said this earlier, jobs are not that easy to land now days and we don't know the hobo or his town well enough to say whether he's not trying at all, maybe not hard but nobody knows his situation either. Srh did say he mumbles alot so maybe he has some kind of mental disorder too, but I agree having a pet that he doesn't have the current necessities to take care of was not helping his situation.

Trolling I really appreciate your open mind. I knew about this going down before it did and had the same reservations. He told me he sees this dog on a daily basis and knows the guys who work at the Subway where the homeless guy hangs or lives. He is given plenty of food from the Subway dudes but will feed himself and not the dog. He also leaves it chained to his bike to guard it all night while he goes and sleep under the bridge or where ever. I would never ever condone just taking a dog from a bum just for being a bum! I go out of my way to give the homeless with dogs food and treats specifically for the dog.

I stole my dog from a firefighter who was financially able to feed him just not emotionally I guess. It's about the treatment of the dog. Some folks think of dogs as guard dogs not children.

If this was the basic case of the story and he did say he's been seeing this for 3 weeks straight, I mean he obviously fed the dog, didn't seem underweight to me, I think I would have talked to the man and gotton some info from him about his daily routine, then again if he was able to steal the dog right from under his nose off the bike, doubt he had a very good bond with the dog anyway. If I was a bum and had a dog, I wouldn't let him out of my sight and the fact that he said the dig smelt like shit and fleas jumping within eyesight makes me more believe he didn't care too much about him.
So this can be said about when you stole that fire fighter's dog, was neglected. Dogs are social creatures and need to be around people as much as possible, animals can die from depression. So all in all, I'm decided that what he did was good in it's own way, not the route I would have taken but if Srh felt that strongly about it then it prolly was for the best.

Just like the cops do everything they are supposed to do right? Gtfo of here with that bro.

Don't think any Animal humane detectives or whatever they are do that, they always take action of needed, most if not all have alot of passion for what they do.

Yup, or get the hobo and put him in front of the house.. leave the door open. Will he go inside our back to the hobo? Your test seems easier though.

Actually your test is easier since the hobo is a human and the dog prolly doesn't know what a house is lol, and the loyalty thing of course.

This is a tough one to choose being a dog owner myself. I read the other thread and have my own opinions on the matter, just like everyone else here. Personally I would have talked to the dude and the dog, find out his situation and offer to help in some way, maybe buy him dog food and stuff for the dog. If the dog did not seem to be abused or neglected in any way, I would not have a good feeling about taking it away from the bum.
This dog is probably the only thing he has in life at this point. If the bum does not want help then I would have to call in the authorities before I would even consider just taking the dog.

This would prolly be the best approach, I would have done everything here step from step.

So you are against homeless nomadic people having the one pet that best fits their lives?
Dogs were wild before we started breeding them as pets.
They are more than able to survive on the streets...not to mention there are too many homeless pets as well as too many homeless people...The animal will help the bum survive, just like the bum will help the dog...I mean if they are both starving to death I might buy them a couple cheeseburgers or a bag of dog food or something...but you can't just take a homeless man's dog. I mean he is already homeless and shunned by society...you want to take away the one aspect of his life that doesn't make him feel worse about his situation? Just doesn't make sense to me...
I know plenty of people that have homes and neglect their dogs...
I don't really like to see homeless people begging for food with a dog tied to them...but I can understand it I guess...I mean they are both homeless, may as well be homeless together.

No I'm against crack/meth heads owning pets...Dunno how you got all that from what I said.

How come the only options are Stealing it or leaving it...What about going to the grocery store and buying it a big fat chicken

I was trying to think of other options but my mind was still blank about what the proper thing would be to do, so I just left it at undecided.

 

[FresnoFarmer]

BUT are you agains crack/meth head dogs?? Stealing chew toys from Pet Smart for their next fix

Sure.....you won't be able to afford a gun if you are down in the dumps.......probably too hungry and feeble to kill anybody as well
