    I couldn’t imagine just leaving my dog there because I didn’t have a crate. If my dogs are with me, and they can’t fly, then I can’t fly. Pisses me off how some people treat animals. My dogs are my whole world. If you do something like this you should be blacklisted from every owning a dog again.

      Yes, I’m in 100% agreement, I wish we could treat people how they treat animals.

      That aside, the article says it’s a license French bulldog. Those fuckers are EXPENSIVE. I can’t imagine just ditching thousand of dollars like that (morality of it aside).

        Oh no, I missed that part. Jeez, someone has more money than they know what to do with. Money makes some people so shitty. Not that they weren’t before, but seems like it really brings it out of some people.

          Also, if you’ve got that kind of money surely you can find someone to bring a crate or take the dog elsewhere.

        Based. Stick cattle farmers in feedlots when they’re 4 and slaughter them at 8. Macerate all the male chicken farmers.

          eh, dairy cows are slaughtered at 4-6, and they’re the oldest animals to be slaughtered. Most animals are MONTHS or WEEKS old. not years.

          Also, male chicks are macerated (mashed up alive) at just one to two hours old, because they’re “useless”. THey won’t ever lay eggs, and they won’t grow big enough to be worth it for meat chickens, so they’re mashed up alive at a few hours. This is what you support when you support animal ag.

            Yeup. IIRC, cattle are generally killed for their flesh from 1-2 years old, or about 5-10% of their natural lifespan. I was just saying 4-8 years for humans to be a more relatable comparison.

            I support animal agriculture and I love eating chicken nuggets.

      I live in a college town. Several of our dogs came from the shelter, one of them was found in an empty apartment. Her owner moved and just left her, probably assumed someone would take her to the shelter.

      It’s apparently pretty common around here. Luckily someone found her, but some of these apartments don’t immediately have a new tenant and the dog dies.

      I just can’t imagine doing this. Our dogs are part of the family.

        So a warrant for animal abuse was issued for her arrest, yes? If she was a college student she may be gone for years, but it would be great if she were to be arrested when she returns for her 10 year reunion.

          I can’t comment since I didn’t find her, only got her from the shelter, but I sure hope so. She’s an amazingly sweet dog too so that just breaks my heart even more for her. At least she’s in good hands now.

      You should see how they treat animals in animal agriculture!
