Woman who loves dog throws them out of her car

The BBQ Pit
1

I don’t think it takes a doctorate in any field to figure out this bitch doesn’t have all her dogs barking. Evidently, she’s been snooping around people’s homes for years and, when those people aren’t home, stealing their dogs. She loves the dogs so much she doesn’t even advertise they’re “found.” Oh,no. She just packs them off to some far away dog shelter saying they’re in need of adoption. No word on if any of the shelters she used happen to be “no kill” shelters. And to prove how much she really loves these animals she’s purportedly rescuing, she throws the animals out of a moving vehicle as the owner was tailing her.

If that bitch had been active in my neighborhood when I was a kid, no doubt she’d’ve had a fit of distemper if she had seen our family dog, who loved to sleep on the back porch. The dog simply didn’t like to sleep indoors. And that dog saved my life when I fell through the ice on the local creek.

But, oh, no. Simple facts such as the dogs the bitch in the linked story stole happen to be well-cared for, fed well, and happy with a loving family mean nothing to her. She decided all by herself (or perhaps with other scum of her ilk) that it’s better to steal the dog, take it to a shelter, and to hell with the law, to hell with the possiblity that the animal won’t be adopted, and to hell with the poor children who are missing their loved family pets.

Fuck. This brings back one bad memory. My family did have one dog that was abused. Poor dog ran away from its home. It ran away from the abusive home and ran to my family’s home. It was obviously and severely abused. My dad called the cops, the cops assisted Dad with taking the matter to court, and the judge gave Dad custody of the poor animal. Now a reasonable man would’ve let the matter end there after the court removed the dog from his home. But, then, a reasonable man doesn’t abuse a dog in the first place. The unreasonable man simply waited for an opportune moment, such as when my sister and oldest brother were walking the dog, to run the dog down with his car, killing the dog in front of two children who loved the animal.

For what that bastard did and the bitch in the story linked above did…

Well, I better stop now before I make one or two unchristian comments.

This is the problem with far too many of these “rescue” folks. They think their idea of what is proper care is the only right one, and any crimes they may commit are immaterial in light of the “abuse” they stop. I wouldn’t be surprised if she used kill shelters, since these folks tend to think that a pet is better off dead than being “abused” by spending the day in a fenced yard. Of course, no thought to the real abuse of packing a pet off to a shelter where it will have only minimal care for several days as it waits, scared and confused, until it leaves or is put down.

As long as the HSUS is allowed free rein, this will probably only get worse.

I don’t think it has anything to do with the Humane Society of the United States, although I agree they’re their own variety of loons and liars. I also don’t think the bitch referred to in the OP even considered whether the shelters are kill or no kill. She seems to me to have an odd manifestation of Münchausen syndrome by proxy. You see, she needs for other people to see her doing something wonderful, something great, something awesome involving animals. What better than simply handing an animal to a shelter? Heck, it’s free and there are no adverse affects. Well, no adverse affects for her. The animals suffer, the families from whom she stole the animals suffer, but nothing bad for her. That is, until she got caught in the act finally. The shelters were merely the venue for her performance.

Yup, one article I read said that when there were investigations before, always or nearly always, the dog had appropriate food, water, shelter, and other conditions. Apparently she fancied herself some kind of vigilante justice enforcer and went out to kidnap dogs, regardless of the harm she was actually doing, because it was important for her to Feel Important.

And I’m pretty sure the HSUS, however much curlcoat may disagree with them, doesn’t encourage you to steal dogs or hurl them out of speeding cars when the cops are closing in.

5

Dude seriously, let’s keep the RO aimed at the crazy bitch throwing pups out her window. And NOT the thousands of people in the US who work really hard finding homes for needy pets.

Jeez!

6

Shakes, curlcoat is talking about the Humane Society of the United States, not local humane societies. HSUS has a large wing of crazy animal rights activists.

I think it’s more like Hero Syndrome. Whatever. I hope she gets the help she needs, because she’s clearly mentally ill.

My parents have a psycho neighbour. One time, the people across the road were away and my mum was feeding, giving meds & snuggling their dear old cat, “Poes Jan”. After two days Poes Jan didn’t show. Mum was sad, thinking he’d died and looked all around the garden to try and find him. Then she remembered she’d seen Mrs. Psycho Neighbour walking around with a cat basket, while they don’t have a cat. She confronted her.

Mrs. Psycho Neighbour had gone into their garden, stolen Poes Jan and taken him TO BE PUT DOWN!

My mum actually contacted someone for legal advice for the people across the road, but they decided to just tell her that if she ever came onto their property again, or touched one of their animals it wouldn’t be a nice quiet injection for her, it would be a baseball bat to the face.

My papa subtly let her know the same thing goes for our animals. I still think they should’ve taken her to court.

Mrs Psycho Neighbour’s reasoning was that the cat was old and the neighbours car wasn’t there, so it was ok to murder their cat. She votes Party for the Animals (an actual political party in the Netherlands), so she obviously thought she was some kind of hero.

What type of animals do they support? Perhaps her actual reasoning was that by killing one outdoor cat you could save many birds.

9

Or balls of yarn.

This sounds like PETA crazy to me. I’ve heard arguments from them that owning a pet is slavery. The woman in the OP sounds liked she bought into that idea and saw herself as being some kind of canine Harriet Tubman.

She ends up killing the dogs she’s supposedly trying to rescue? Oh well, better they die in freedom than live in slavery.

11

Sounds like my batshit ex-housemate- who I’m sure I’ve bitched about before on here- she stole three dogs, having seen them crated, visible in a house occupied by a couple of squatters, who obviously weren’t likely to complain to the police. One puppy and its mother, and an young male in another crate, with water but no food at the time.

She didn’t do any checking of what the situation was- if they had obtained the mother dog from someone else already pregnant or were deliberately trying to breed them, if they were being left in the crates just for a short period while the owners were out or were being left for all day alone without food- just saw them once and stole them the next day. At the time, she’d been working for a local rescuer, who had told her not to take them, and fired her when he found out she did. The rescuer guy had suggested she try get in touch with the owners, and see if they were OK with the dogs, or needed any help as they were obviously really poor, and if they seemed abusive then to report them to the RSPCA, which sounds fair enough; but she had a fucking hero complex, so we wound up with them in the house.

The rescuer guy- as she originally claimed the owners had voluntarily given them up when she talked to them- took the adult dogs, and found homes for them, but she would up keeping the puppy, along with the other two dogs she already had.

She refused to train it at all- not house train, not train not to run off over the road, not anything, because it was ‘unnatural’; she actively encouraged it to bite when it was small because it was ‘cute’ (and it was probably too small to be seperated from its mother, which she did immediately on getting it), then she started refusing to walk it at all in case the people she stole it from saw it and recognised it.

She also started insisting my other housemate’s freaking Jack Russell was ‘threatening’ her waist high violent beast of a dog, so demanded that she had to be locked up alone in her owner’s bedroom at all times. She then started getting really angry when the other housemate got ill, and paid for someone else to walk the Jack Russell for her. I never heard what passed for an explanation for that one, that was the point I finally managed to move out.

Whatever she did was automatically best for the animals, because it was her doing it, and she was an animal rights activist, so she obviously must be in the right. :rolleyes:

OP, I’m sorry for what that horrible psycho did to that dog, to your siblings, and to your whole family. Times like this, I’m ashamed of my species.

13

I realize I’m going to get it for this, but I am a member of PETA. Yes, me. Here’s the thing: yes, there are crazies who do crazy shit and believe crazy things (like the pet slavery thing), but my experience has been with solidly rational folks. Folks who believe that animals shouldn’t be abused and suffering should be minimized where we can. Folks who donate dog houses for people who are too poor to provide adequate winter shelter to their pets; folks who give food, vaccinations, and low cost altering to people who are too poor to afford it for their pets.

I am not some crazy animal liberation person and I in no way condone what the batshit crazy bitch in the OP did, but I do agree with one of the fundamental things PETA espouses (which I think is falsely used as an attack on them, even indirectly in this thread): most shelter animals are probably better off put down than sitting in a shelter for their whole lives. In an ideal world, there are no unwanted pets-- but the unfortunate reality is that we live in a world where tons of dogs and cats are heaped into tiny, cold crates and never given the attention they need or deserve. I’m a firm believer in the importance of quality of life, so -for me, at least- the choice to euthanize the animals as painlessly as possible is a reasonable position to put forth. Does that mean I think dogs are better of dead than slaves? No, that’s ridiculous and even my card-carrying, PETA member ass rolls my eyes at folks who actually believe that.

Anyway, to the OP: that chick is fucking crazy. God bless the owners of those pitbulls, because it would take more self restraint than I have to not beat the woman to death for doing that to my pets. Or any animal, for that matter. Especially my dogs, though.

14

I just realized my second paragraph makes it sound like I’m indirectly ok with this lady thieving pets. I am not. AT ALL. I’m talking about the truly ‘unwanted’ pets who sit in shelters for their whole lives. There is absolutely no excuse for what this woman did.

15

I’m not condemning all PETA members and I apologize to you for my overly broad post. I realize many people support PETA for good reasons. Unfortunately, there is an inner core of craziness at the heart of PETA and I think they do the cause of animal rights as much harm as good.

16

If she did that to one of my cats, I really think I would smash every window in her house. I am not normally one to want to damage people things, but this bitch deserves it, and maybe she would think twice before killing peoples pets in the future.

17

No worries at all, friend.

I will say that I disagree with the contention that the crazies are the heart of PETA. Now, I think it they are definitely the loudest-- that I can’t argue. And I think that group also gets the most media attention because they are 1: loud and 2: batshit crazy---- but I think they are minority overall.

18

But where is she getting the props in this that would keep her doing it? The shelter people aren’t going to be all that happy with her dumping another dog on them and obviously the owners aren’t happy. That’s why I thought it was HSUS or PETA influencing her with their talk of “animal slavery”.

They may not encourage people to do that sort of thing, but they do encourage people to think of owning pets as “animal slavery” and that pets are better off dead than “living as slaves”. Most of the pets that the HSUS “rescues” end up dead.

Either you are dealing with other, local PETA members or you are buying into the lies. PETA’s founders are on record as saying that their goal is to eliminate pet ownership, farming, hunting, sports with animals, zoos, pretty much anything other than animals running loose in the woods. They used to do violent things like break into labs to “free” the animals and letting show dogs out of crates to get lost or squished by cars, but these days they seem to be doing mostly legislative stuff like outlawing specific breeds and pushing city/county/state wide spay/neuter.

Now I’m curious - what do you see PETA themselves doing that you think is good? Not a claim of supporting such and such shelter, but PETA directly.

19

Sorry, but I have to disagree with that. Ingrid Newkirk, the founder and current President of PETA, is nuts.

“The smallest form of life, even an ant or a clam, is equal to a human being.”
“Six million Jews died in concentration camps, but six billion broiler chickens will die this year in slaughter houses.”
“Even if animal tests produced a cure for AIDS, we’d be against it.”
“Humans have grown like cancer. We’re the biggest blight on the face of the planet.”
“I am not a morose person, but I would rather not be here. I don’t have any reverence for life, only for the entities themselves. I would rather see a blank space where I am. This will sound like fruitcake stuff again but at least I wouldn’t be harming anything.”
“Our nonviolent tactics are not as effective. We ask nicely for years and get nothing. Someone makes a threat, and it works.”
“Pet ownership is an absolutely abysmal situation brought about by human manipulation.”
“Would I rather the research lab that tests animals is reduced to a bunch of cinders? Yes.”
“There’s no rational basis for saying that a human being has special rights. A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy. They’re all animals.”
“In the end, I think it would be lovely if we stopped this whole notion of pets altogether.”
“I openly hope that hoof-and-mouth disease comes here. It will bring economic harm only for those who profit from giving people heart attacks and giving animals a concentration camp-like existence. It would be good for animals, good for human health and good for the environment.”
“I find it small wonder that the laboratories aren’t all burning to the ground. If I had more guts, I’d light a match.”

When questioned about her ongoing use of insulin while she publicly calls for an end of the use all animal products: “I have no qualms about it I’m not going to take the chance of killing myself by not taking insulin. I don’t see myself as a hypocrite. I need my life to fight for the rights of animals.”

When questioned about the fact that PETA-run animal shelters euthanize animals, Newkirk justified this policy by saying a “no kill” shelter would cost more money to operate and PETA needs to save its money for its publicity campaigns: “It sounds lovely if you’re naive. We could become a no-kill shelter immediately. It means we wouldn’t do as much work.”

And there’s her will.

Obviously some of those quotes are nutso- and the lady’s a colossal hypocrite- but others are perfectly valid statements.

This may not be how most people think, but it’s pretty much the exact worldview of Jains.

This is a factual statement.

This may not be a very good policy statement, but it’s probably true. I would never have heard of PETA if not for the fur-blood campaign.
