Just How Mean Can We Humans Be?

This is just so sad and these 2 incidents just sickens me to the core on how we can be so insensitive and heartless to animals - dogs. In one incident, a Lithuanian young man literally threw a dog off a bridge while his friend videoed the whole sequence. Miraculously, the animal survives and - to the viewers' horror - can be heard crying in distress over the roar of the traffic. The cruel clip quickly circulated in Lithuanian where the footage was shot, caused a mounting outrage that led to these cruel culprits being arrested. In another incident, a negligent young pit bull owner could actually unleashed his dog without a muffler which led the dog attacked a Labrador guide dog. Leaving the blind lady owner in abandonment and distraught and her dog with a deep neck wound. How can people be so heartless, cruel and negligent?

That's just horrible. That kind of behavior is just disgusting. That first incident you mentioned just showed how stupid and sadistic people can be. Anyone who can find enjoyment from something like that is really twisted. I am really glad that karma came back and bit them in the behind. Animals have feelings too. Being a dog owner myself, I just can't understand how they can do that to the poor animal. Dogs are really lovable and loyal creatures. That second incident just goes to show how irresponsible people are. Hopefully that lady had to face the consequences for her actions or inactions.

saizo6, I just find such individuals equally baffling amidst my disgust and disdain for them. Like you, I cannot bring myself to be in such a mean and cruel mind treating animals that just cannot speak or powerless. Anyway, I hope that they will be prosecuted and be sentenced to the full extent of the law. They deserve every bit of it!

oops...just saw the pics and it's a guy not girl...It was really messed up when he was trying to stop his pet by kicking it. I can understand that he's trying to stop the attack but there are certainly other ways to go about it.

Well, Humans suck.. I usually wish I wasn't one of them.. After seeing stuff like this. I really think that these people aren't human. Animals show a more caring attitude than these creeps. I certainly hope Karma works and these guys get everything back 10 fold. Maybe they'll get eaten by a tiger at the zoo. :)

Get eaten by a tiger? minx267, You are hilarious here. Well, as you've said what goes round, comes around ...probably 10 folds, I think they have a pending sentence from the law and I just hope that they will get what they deserve x2x10?

When I say the title for this topic, aI planned on mentioning this incident as an example of how cruel people can be. I read about this on a message board this morning. A lot of the responses it got also showed the cruelty that is in peoples hearts. It's an eye for an eye mentality in what people think should be done to the guy.

cbjones, I just do not understand how these men can actually bring themselves to commit such an act on animals or perceive the meaning of life. On the incident where the dog was thrown off the bridge, I just felt that the other person who filmed the incident should be culpable and be arrested as an accomplice. I just cannot imagine that the both of them are equally heartless cruel. As for the other incident, I just cannot help conclude that the pit bull attack is premeditated from the video footage. I further feel that this particular individual just does not have the right to own a pet, too. Just does not have any civic mindedness in him.

I would rather not open the link,else my blood would boil.I don't see why some people are satisfied with sadistic activities on animals.I think these people were born with brains upside and missing heart.I think these kind of behavior illustrate that these people have something wrong with their brains.I love animals.I don't see the point of hurting voiceless creatures who can't really voice out their fear,pain,and sadness.I would be amazed if that guy was thrown over the bridge.

my_name_is_coco, I understand what you mean here and I am equally disgusted as you are with these 2 characters along with all other animal abusers. If only we could have a tougher sentence and/or "eye for an eye" kind of sentence for these villans, I suppose these abuses will not just stop but become worse. Anyway, I hope these characters will get what they deserve and I just cannot wait. Have a nice day.
