thudricdholee : man, i would have bin at my max anger.if some one was doing that i would have gone wild. even if the care was moving id jump out and start going crazy.(talk about no mercy)

all my life i could never bring myself to hurt a animal NO MATTER WHAT KIND. the kind of cruelty in the world is unbelievable.i mean till i was 6 i wouldn't eat meat.no matter what.i thought it was the wrong thing to do because it involved hurting animals.i thought i could just be a vegetarian like my sister.no animal should be treated that way.delilah is adorable.ive always wanted  pets.i HATE, HATE,HATE ANIMAL ABUSE.

I, uh.. agree with the banned servbot.

I frown upon animal abuse as a whole, and that doggie is cute!

But, if an animal attacks you, you should be able to defend yourself, even if I disprove of it.

But yeah, Animal Abuse is wrong, hurting poor defenseless animals like the cute one in the photo, but if one does attack you (not in a playful manner, mind you.) you should defend yourself.

I have never understood how a person can abuse an animal like you see sometimes. It's just sad...what's even worse are those people that supposedly love animals...start off with a few...then next thing they have like 20 and they are all neglected. Very sad to see situations like that.

I commend you for volunteering to help these poor animals.

ScottTehHunter : I would understand that, the defending thing, but you also have to think of why the animal was prevoked to attack

Two options here -

Something you did
or
How it was Raised

Now if an animal is raised to attack, then of course defend but try to hurt it the least amount you can

If you did something... well you did something, you take blame for it,

Either way you should harm the animal the least to prevent more preovoked manner while still protecting.

Just because the dog bit you gives you doesnt give you the right to kick it, think about whats happening and what must be going on in the animals eyes.

Pokefreak219:

Or it's a rabid monster that want's to eat my limbs.

There's no way of telling what happened to it.

And I never said that I would kick the dog in the face or whatnot, I just said you should 'defend yourself' not going into any detail.

What I don't understand is that if someone abuses an animal, they don't go to prison for it, instead they have to pay  100 or so dollars, that to me is ridiculous

Horrible. How could somebody hurt a poor animal? I'm fine if it's a deer or duck or black bear, but with animals like dogs and cats, it's horrible. I would never hurt a defenseless animal. And no, i'm not an abimal lover, i just dislike hurting people and things. I jus t do not understand how anybody could do that

Just to say something about pitbulls. I am not an expert on them, but just to say my opinnion. People who usually get them want them for wrong reasons. To me the wrong reason is to have a "vicious, scary and agressive dog" as some sort of extend to your fragile self esteem and ego. So you can show your neighboourhood who is the "boss" when you take it out to pee for five minutes a day when its not guarding your "stash".

And now hear me out if you have one. I am not talking about YOU! I hope I am not. All the pitbulls I have met are total cutie pies. Like all dogs, they are not agressive by nature, but behave according to the love, care and training they get. Well, they are all muscle and they will bite you hard if they are trained to do so or badly trained in the first place. But dont get one as for your first dog atleast.

And ugh! Cropping of the ears and tails of any dog is wrong, I think.

If you can find nice homes for these kinds of doggies, I truly tip my hat to you.
