I have seen many many grown ups doing this I really don't understand their psychology why do they act like this/ I feel like giving a slap on their faces...Sorry, but that true, thats what I feel in fit of anger, when ever I see a grown up is pelting a stone on a Dog! Have you seen such people ? If yes what are your feelings?

I have seen many barking and throwing Stones at Dogs, especially mongreals. Usually they are much scared of dogs and their bites. Hence In order cover up their scariness they act this way.

Don't you think thats a silly thing to do? They may be scared of Stray dogs but no dog bites unless it is provocated or it is mad/rabied ! Even if it is rabied one , it is not a thumb rule that it will bite every one! For that matter rabied dogs don't understand anything as their brain gets damaged in rabies! Just fearing the notion that every dog is going to bite them, their pelting stones at dog seems to be too inhuamne and immature act to me!

I'm a big animal lover and have a lot of respect and I'm glad to say that I've never witnessed someone pelting stones on a dog; it's a good thing too because I would've said something. Wouldn't it be interesting to know why people do such stupid things sometimes? While pelting stones at dogs is an aweful thing, I'm sad to say that there are people out there doing much worse things to their animals and children.

Wow ! Its great ! I am really happy to meet an another animal lover on this site! You are really lucky not to have witnessed something like pelting a poor Dog by an adult! It is really a painful scene! Like you said I too tried to intervene and ask them to stop doing such silly things in return I get a braod smile or a funny laugh from them, which indicates they are really not payong interest to what I am saying to them! Yes its really an interesting thing to know why these people they behave like this! About the people who are doi9ng much worse things to their animal and children are Psychics and they need councelling and treatment by a Psychologist ! Thanks dear friend for participating and giving your valuable view on the topic! God bless you!

If the dog is causing property damage I guess it's only right for the homeowners to defend themselves from a safe distance. But if it were just for sick jokes then that's uncalled for and the people who do them should be arrested for animal cruelty. An eye for an eye concept won't for those offenders, I think they should spend their community service time working in a dog pound so they'll learn to appreciate the dogs more.

Excellent ! I really appreciate your views and the idea expressed by you for the punishment! This way they can really feel and experience how adoarable is a dog and what a silly thing they were doing in the past! Thanks for your wonderful reply !

They are sick, and need to be reported to the police, and animal control. Maybe someone should pelt them with stones, and see how they like it.

Yes dear friend they are really sick and immature! They need to be taught about the Dog and its qualities! Pelting them wth stones makes no difference between them and sensible persons like us! As suggested by one of our friend [vide the above discussion]they should be made to work with Community lubs interested in welfare of Dogs so as to make them understand what a Dog is in fact! Thanks for your response!

Hi AKRao24, yes i have seen pepole do this. I dont know why they would do it because the dog did not do anything. I yelled at them about it. Ofcourse they did not like it. I said the dog dont like you throwing rocks at him ethier. besides that will make a dog mean,and it is more than likely a kids pet.

You are absolutely right dear Buzzman! I too really don't understand the psychology of such people. Don't they realise that Dogs too they are living beings and they too do feel pain like us ? They are needed to be taught about the kindness towards animals! But then as you have said many people may not like us to talk with themin this regard in first place! Thanks for responding!

I have never seen anyone do this. At least not an adult. These folks need to grow up.

I think that they are absolutely sickening! Anyone who hurts an animal maliciously should be subject to the same treatment in return as punishment. I can't understand how people can have no empathy for the feelings of others, people or animals. Animals feel pain and fear. Why don't some people understand this? Look into an animals eyes and you will see their souls. Some of them are better than some human beings.

Very true! They must be sick mentally, or otherwise how can one ever think of hurning such a faithful and loving animal. I think the Dog is the only animal so much closer to Human beings and is almost dependent on them. We should take care of this fact and should respect these friendly animals. Dogs are very emotinal and they understand Human nature. Have you ever thought why the steert Dogs bark at night? They do so if they suspect any thing going wrong in their area to alert the people to be careful! I can say this because of my personal experience, which i will be narrating some other time to the community members! Yes! Some Dogs are better than some human beings! Very true ! Thanks for responding!

In the USA if you abuse an animal you can be arrested and fined. It is called animal cruelty. I cannot understand any person who is cruel to an animal...but there are many people who do very cruel acts. In the USA we have people who intentionally have cats or dogs as pets and will not feed them, or will hit them, beat them, and worse. I am happy we have Animal Control in the USA because they are very good and going after people who are cruel to animals. Interestingly, people who are cruel or abusive to people usually start out at a young age by being cruel to animals.

Fear is a powerful force. It makes people act out of their truest nature. If they throw stones at dogs, they're mean to people as well. Miserable people make others miserable.

How truely and precisely said! Thats true, 'Miserable people mke others misereable!'. I too think its because of the fera factor , in their self defence they must be doing like this! As you said they are definitely mean and have no consideration for other life forms! They must think for a moment before doing some thing as silly as this ! Thanks for your response!

Usually when you see ppl abusing animals, they abuse other ppl as well. Either by verbal, mental or physical abuse.

I haven't seen anyone do this - I would be really angry if I did. Most dogs are nicer than most people so I can't understand why humans (who are supposed to be superior) would do such a thing to one of the nicest animals on earth :-(
