VERY UPSETTING! (1 Viewer)

[Val 3 dogs]

Why do some of the human race have to be so barbaric and dispicable!
This morning was bright, warm and sunny (in Southern Spain), at least it was for me.
I was walking my dogs along the beach of the beautiful lake beside which I have the privelidge of living.
My eye was caught by a large piece of blue and white litter lying at the water's edge.
I immediately got a sinking feeling in my stomach. On approaching, it proved to be a large, strong, plastic bag that had once held dog food. It was tied at the top with a rotting piece of string.
I cursed the litter monger.
The bag contained a large litter of big puppies,(probably had been 2 or3 days old when they were cast into the water).
Death by drowning is horrifying enough, but didn't the evil creature that perpetrated this act think that a plastic bag is waterproof, that tieing it in this manner would trap air in it.or even that their end would have been quicker had he weighed it down with stones.
If there is a god may he forgive this monster- I never will.

So sorry to hear that you had to experience that . It is bad enough finding them occasionally myself but never like that.

Oh dear that is absolutely horrible. Very upsetting for you to find those poor puppy's. Although I would never wish anyone ill I do believe in Karma.

Why would anyone drown pups when any old mongrels make hundreds of pounds

Not in Spain they don't!

"I cursed the litter monger."

Sadly for the pups and for you it was literally a 'litter' monger and deserved cursing many times over.

There is also a bereaved bitch somewhere wondering what happened to her brood.

It might have been somewhat traumatic for your dogs to witness - are they OK? Or were you able to distance them from the scene?

I hope you can erase the memory soon, but it may be difficult as a dog lover.

I was talking to a bloke the other day who had some sort of cross bred pups , can't remember what now and said he was going to get £600 a piece for them.
Some other bloke had some Labrador pups as well, nowt special, £900.
Nearly got me in to breeding dogs, then saw sense after thinking about it for all of a minute.

OMG I do worry about what kind of person I have become...... I want to do the same to the person who did it.

How horrible for you to find them like that.

 

[Robert Clark]

I’m not making any excuse for what happened.

However having lived in Spain I have experienced that their culture is very different from ours.

Their ‘treatment’ of dogs, cats and other domestic animals may seem very harsh to us at times.

However a Spanish person once told me that the Spanish are horrified at the number of British old folks who are abandoned in ‘homes’ compared to in Spain where the norm is for the family to look after senior citizens at home.

 

[Val 3 dogs]

That's very true Robert and I can't make excuses for either one.

nicholsong thanks for your thoughts Geoff, fortunately I was able to keep my dogs away and finish their walk before returning without them to remove the gruesome evidence.
Yes, I am afraid the inage of that find may well haunt me for some time. However I am glad that it was me that found them and not children or some other less worldly mortal.

 

[Potty]

Feel for you Val. Do hope you can put it behind you.

Different cultures and different values as you say.

There are parts of the world that eat dogs as part of their diet ?

 

[irnbru]

This makes me feel sick. Poor puppies ??

 

[scousebird]

What a horrid discovery, shame on that person. It makes your blood boil.

 

[Shrimp]

Unfortunately other people from some other countries do not share our all encompassing love of animals.
I once saw a dead mum cat with her babies, told a passing Gendarme and he just shrugged and went on his way!

 

[movan]

We really need a sad reaction..

Possibly, but you know the saying "keep your mind on what you do want and off what you don't .

Cyprus was much the same when I lived there re animals. Reason my house was up for sale a year after moving in. Was never so glad to say goodbye to a place.
