Violent or Abusive People Who Take It Out In Their Pets  

My present partner was in an abusive marriage and at that time when I took her in so to speak was very concerned as to her cat. She knew that the cat would be kicked again as he had kicked the cat many times. Having never had a pet and never had the intention to own one I was more than happy to oblige and collected ir the next day.
It took a while for the cat to settle down but was more happy after a while and I was sorry to see the cat having to be put down earlier this year due to it having cancer. Tears.....

Do such satans really exist. These dumb animals who cant even express their pain and suffering. I would suggest that it is better to leave your pet as a stray somewhere far and leave such men immediately. Strays are often cared for and at least they wont be hurt deliberately. Such people should be taken to the police and the same treatment metted out to them as they do to their family and pets. Absolutely no pity shown for such rogues. There should be a rule for violence to family like cutting off your little finger. That sh ould take care of those swines, for I believe they are cowards actually.

Animal cruelty is a weak, disgusting thing to do and is done by those who have no self esteem or heart. People who hurt or kill animals to punish or intimidate people should be locked in jail or worse. I am an animal lover and, if I ever saw abuse by anyone, I would step in even if it meant I could get hurt myself. It sickens me to see these people getting off with light sentences or slaps on the wrists because their victims were animals. I think animal abusers should be treated as harshly as people abusers. I know many will say animals are JUST animals but they are living creatures and aren't here for weaklings to toss them around or abuse them just to make themselves feel bigger.

I read where someone set his girlfriend's dog on fire because she wanted to leave him. What a wuss. He should be in jail doing time, not out on the street with just a $250 fine.

I wish there were a way to stop these crazy people but there isn't and it's so sickening. I take in strays and do what I can but I can't make a dent in what is happening. I give to the ASPCA monthly as well as other animal groups and I hope that we can pass stricter laws against these beasts who think they're big men or women when they hurt a defenseless animal.

Yes, the things some people do to animals are horrible, pyewacket, but what can we expect in a world that seems to have lost it's mind. Some people just have that kind of makeup. They enjoy hurting people and pets. When I was growing up there was a boy who lived down the road from me who used to kill cats all the time. They say that these types of people usually end up becoming serial killers or something equally bad. I have often wondered what did he eventually become because he was certainly guilty of the murder of those animals.

Hi Pyewacket! The dog we have today came from an abusive home! I knew i had to get her out of there, so we bought her! The price was 50 dollars, but today she is priceless!
She was abused by her previous owners who i am related to. Cuddles was just a puppy that wasn't house trained and for this she suffered a broken rib and other bruises! She was easy to house train because she knew we loved her. Dogs are so willing to please their owners! Today i don't need friends who abuse pets. Take care Pyewacket.

I've only this to say actually, I hate people who abuse their spouses, I hate people who abuse their children, and I hate people who abuse their pets. They abuse what they love and it's just so wrong. Thanks.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

This is awful! It seems like we are hearing more cases of abuse against children, elderly, and pets nowadays! I sometimes wonder what kind of world I am bringing my son up in. I don't remember hearing any of these types of stories when I was young, but I also grew up in a very small town. I think that people who take their tendencies from being abused when they are young should stop and think and break the pattern, so that their children will not turn out the same way. I told this to my husband when we first were married, because his dad was verbally abusive to him. There was a time when he started treating our son this way, and I pointed that fact out to him, and he thought about it and changed his ways. I wish more people would be like that rather than to be abusive to helpless children, pets, and any other helpless person.

That is sick. It is a horrible experience to be in that kind of situation. There must be a law to protect the pets and the people around this brutal people.

It is very said to hear this but it is happening. I agree that people who hurt their pets are also wont to hurt other people. Those who kick dogs probably got kicked when they were kids. We value our pets and even those that aren't ours as creatures who have life, who have feelings and get hurt.

It is so sad and so frustrating knowing that there are people in this world that are capable of doing such awful horrendous things, not only to humans, but to pets as well. I don't think that people like that deserve to enjoy life. They need to be "euthanized" themselves. Maybe that's a bad attitude to have, but I have no tolerance for people like that. It's good to know that there are places that are willing to take pets when the owners are in abusive situations like that. If I had known that when I was going through a bad situation myself, believe me I would have taken advantage of it. Fortunately, my babies were ok when I went back to get them.
