Why don't you find a puppy to kick?

You know the meme that someone is so evil they kick puppies?

Des Hague, chief executive officer of sports concessions company Centerplate, was caught on video kicking a puppy in an elevator

What a miserable asshole. I hope this costs his company millions in lost revenue.

I once tried to kick a puppy that bit me, but I wasn’t quick enough. The animal control officer came and met me in the ER, and then he went and, I guess, kicked the puppy or something.

Not all puppies are innocent.

Ironically, you know who NEVER kicked a puppy?

He’s kicking the puppy as they enter the elevator. The puppy lies down on the floor, making no provocation. And then the guy just starts kicking him. I’m in the pup’s court on this one.

No wonder the guy can’t hold down a job. :smiley:

Now why did the SPCA take the dog from the owner? Because he let a douchbag take it for a walk?

I can’t watch the video here but the quote doesn’t make sense. I wouldn’t think the way he treats a dog has anything to do with the way he treats people. Some people think that animals are less important than humans.

Do you really have to act like this in every thread?

Franklin Roosevelt?

That’s true.

And some people think that power is power, and that the way an individual wields it (especially when he thinks he’s in private) is indicative of how he feels entitled to wield it.

This has nothing to do with the hierarchy of animals and humans.

Cruelty to animals has been shown to be strongly linked to general lack of empathy and sociopathic behaviour. Also it’s considered a felony.

What a worthless piece of shit. I hope that little Dobie grows up and tears his balls off someday.

You’ve seen that quote that’s been attributed to Dave Barry, right?

*“A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.” *

Same concept here, I think. How a person treats another who cannot/does not fight back can tell you a lot about that person.

Well, they say sociopaths (or perhaps borderline sociopaths) make the best CEO’s. His only mistake is getting publicly caught in his sociopathy.

Curious why they blurred out the face when the story told us who it was?

He seems very young (at least from the back) to be a CEO of a large (non-startup) company and to have had all those other executive positions.

Why make the stockholders suffer? I hope he gets fired and loses his stock options.

Puppy-kicking keeps you young-looking.

So, Dick Clark kicked puppies? :stuck_out_tongue:

I am certainly not going to defend puppies in general.

But this video is clearly inappropriate behavior. The puppy-kicker has no rational reason for kicking the puppy at that time - it was sitting down and behaving. Even if you thought kicking a puppy was a valid disciplinary measure, there was nothing to discipline at that time and self-defense was clearly not an issue either.

Update:

Well, that’s a good start.
