A dog hung in a playground.

[Gamer]

In the paper the last couple days, there was a story about this kid who went to the park to play with his dog. Now the dog killed and the kid told his parent (and the police and the media) that three teenagers came along and took the dog, tied it to a piece of playground equipement and hung it. It was all over the news, people were so upset that some teenagers could do such a horrible thing. On the front page of the journal there was a picture of their family sitting there, they all looked so sad, and the dad looked angry.

Now this morning in the paper i am sitting there and sure enough, front page, there is an article about the issue. It says that the boy was lying! He told everyone that teenagers hung the dog when really HE tied it to the peice of equipment and the dog fell off and hung itself. Now the boy was only 10 years old so it seemed like the worst possible thing in the world and his parents would kill him, so he made up a story...a beleivable story, one that made thousands of people across North America angry that people would kil an innocent dog, and then people find out the kid was lying, man im sure that kid is in for some serious trouble. Anyways, i just thought it was interesting, whatta you think?

[GameKinG]

That was all over the news? What city do you live in? Oh wait country is enough, J/K!

[Snake]

I know, that pisses me off... I saw the kid on the news, I think we can take him.. :D

He's 10 years old. :eek: lol, you ready? Lets go, move move move!

[nWoCHRISnWo]

I'm gonna hunt down that kid and "accidentally" hang him to a piece of equipment in the park.

[TheGrimReaper]

Gee I feel sorry for the poor kid. I mean tying is dog was pretty stupid in the first place. But the poor kid must have been scared to death. I wouldnt have told my parents straight out, I mean he's ten, he's not gonna exactly gonna face up to it is he. all I'm sayin is, I can see why he told a lie.

[GameMaster]

Poor kid must feel so bad :(

[fingersman]

Poor kid ...poor dog!!!:mad: 10 years old and you don't know not to tie your dog to a piece a equiment when the dog can't climb?? *sigh* I guess he didn't mean to do it........but why are we getting upset over a dog?? People die everyday for no reasons...innocent bystanders, little children...etc..etc...oh well i guess it's human nature.

[LoudHowardZERO]

****! That's all people are talking about now! It's pissing me off! Everybody's like o, it's so sad then they find out it isn't true..... it's actually kinda funny... but this whole thing was just stupid..

[Kitana85]

I feel rather bad for any teens who may have gotten blamed... then a gain, the kid will have to remember it for the rest of his life. I wonder why he did it... then again, a lot of crap happens... people are beinging murdered all over the world, genocide is not extinct, war is prevelent, and we're worried about a lttle kid and his dead dog.

[Cyrax9]

How the hell can someone do that do a dog? Even if it isn't your favorite animal, you don't kill it! AS for the kid blaming teenagers, wait until he's 13, he'll be the bad example of teenagers that makes us all look like delinquents.

Or maybe he'll be a normal teenager because in this case, he's just ten, he made a mistake, got scared, and lied... oh no, kids lie to cover up some stuff? Who'da thunk it! :rolleyes:

:D

[Perfect Stu]

Wait, the kid did it by accident right?

Then he didn't actually murder his dog, it was an accident...

Still a stupid move, and I feel sorry for that dog (I hope it's in Doggy Heaven now) and the family...

:(

[nWoCHRISnWo]

Who is that stupid when they're ten years old though? He apparently tied the dog to a high place or something, as if if he moved, he'd be hanged, there really wasn't any other possibility. I wonder how many accidents really aren't accidents?

[Jason1]

Dead dogs make national headlines in Canada huh?

That dosent surprise me.

Here in America, we have more important things to put on headlines.

[LoudHowardZERO]

I know.... Canada's a boring place..

Exactly. Its kind of small to be such a big deal. If I talked about every dog that got killed in this city I would be banned for spamming too much.

I agree 100%... well except for that liking Jason part ;)

[nWoCHRISnWo]

The reason it was a big deal (and it wasn't even that big of a deal here) was not because a dog died... It was because before the boy told the truth, we all though that three teenagers murdered the dog in front of the ten year old kid in a park... If in USA people murder dogs all the time like you people claim, then USA must suck.

[GameMaster]

Most of my friends are dogs :(

*lifts leg*
*runs away*

;)

[~VIN~]

Would you want to live in a dog-killing free country, or a dog-killing country?

[GameMaster]

Dead dog free is the way to be :D

[Ric]

I would like to see someone try and do that to my dog, I hope they value their testicles coz she will make a meal of them.

My old dog was cool, she was a Alsation, if you pointed at someone and told her 'Kill' she would quite literally attack them. She wouldnt just do it for the hell of it, she always done as you instructed, she was very loyal and obediant.

Now there must have been other people in that park, how could anyone just stand by and let it happen. It angers me very much.

[KS]

Regardless of whether or not the boy had any idea of his actions (we won't even begin to ask whether he meant it or not) he still would've been upset by it. Plus the fact still remains a dog died, life is lost and people are hurt.

You don't have to be overly compassionate but not caring is cold, if your precious dog died I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate us laughing it off.

You ARE a F'ing loser...I thought you were just stupid or something at first, but now I realize you really are a complete loser...

And as for LoudHoward...why are you still here?

[sdtPikachu]

Cripes, how the hell did this turn into Canada vs. America vs. a fiticious country where dogs don't die debate?!

From what I gather the kid just made a stupid mistake (I am of course asuming he didn't intend to kill the dog), and did what maybe 80% of 10 year olds would do; he invoked the age old excuse of "a big boy done it and ran away"; an excuse used by every single age group in existence in different forms.

Yet because an animal (even worse - a cute fluffy animal. I imagine if he'd killed a stray dog with rabies you wouldn't mind so much) is involved, emotions tend to run very high.

"Here in America, we have more important things to put on headlines."

That's true, and I imagine Canada has just as much important things to worry about too. But it's the classic media crutch; if you want a story use a cute animal. I remember that classic line from "Shallow Grave" where Ewan McGregor (the hack) says "well, you see, no pets, no human angle. Nope, I can't make a story out of that one."

I imagine that, like Britain, America and Canada also have more than their fair share of useless crappy stories to divert attention from what else is going on in the world. Stories like this one are just to pacify the public into thinking that not everything going on in the wordl will invlve human deaths etc etc.

"Now there must have been other people in that park, how could anyone just stand by and let it happen. It angers me very much."

Well there may have been people who witnessed the boy tying the dog to something, but how likely is it that they'll think about the possibility of the dog fallling off? But when the dog fell off, he could have died in seconds. Depending on how it's performed, hanging can be very quick indeed.

"Would you want to live in a dog-killing free country, or a dog-killing country?"

So far as I know there's no such thing as a dog-killing free country. Or perhaps you can show me one where the inhabitants have never killled a dog...?

"If I talked about every dog that got killed in this city I would be banned for spamming too much."

Quite. As I'm sure you're all aware dogs get killed all over the world every day. Just because this case involved a kid making a stupid mistake doesn't mean it's any more special than the rest of them.

"wait until he's 13, he'll be the bad example of teenagers that makes us all look like delinquents."
"Or maybe he'll be a normal teenager because in this case, he's just ten, he made a mistake, got scared, and lied... oh no, kids lie to cover up some stuff? Who'da thunk it!"

Quite, DsH. Why is this being made into such a big deal? Kids accidentally kill their pets every day, either through lack of foresight, stupidity or callousness. To say that every kid who does this is going to turn into a little devil/juvenile delinquent etc. etc, is a tad presumptious.

Yes, let's all pick on a kid cos he made a stupid mistake. There are those of you out there who seem to think he should have the s**t kicked out of him for it. Why stop there? Let's hang the kid himself, he deserves to die. In fact let's make a law which says that anything someone does to an animal we have to do to them in return. What a great idea. [/painfully obvious sarcsam]

I would have hoped that most of you out there would realsie that this is pretty inconsequential to everyone apart from the kid and the dog.

[nWoCHRISnWo]

I still wanna beat the **** outta this kid... It was explained more than once (in the papers here) that there wasn't exactly much room for the dog to go where he was tied up, and the ten year old kid wasn't retarded, so he must have been really stupid or he meant to harm the dog in some way, and you can't just say that's not a possibility because it is. I've seen kids get mad and hit their pets before, some kids that age are kinda stupid and think that dogs are as smart as people, and get mad when they don't do something right so they hit them. My neighbour (10 year old boy) did this all the time, so I'm not saying the kid meant to kill his dog, but I am saying it's entirely possible, too.

[Jason1]

I Just think Canada is a crappy, boring country. I know some of you Canadians dont like America. I still try to get along with these people. Im Not going around calling people f-ing losers just because they dont like a certian country.

EDIT: You people also need to lay off LordHoward, you seem to think its a game to make fun of him, and its not funny. What did he ever do to you?

[GameKinG]

Well some people in the USA may eat dog meat. Here in california, they get caught in cross fire, burning fires, earthquakes, sick twisted kids, sick twisted adults...things to that nature...

Man, could you be any more retarded? I mean do you even know what you type? It's okay for you to make fun of Canada, yet we can't make fun of LoudHoward? What has LoudHoward ever done to us? Nothing, I just hate him. What has Canada ever done to you? Oh yeah, NOTHING. So what's the difference? How many times do I need to explain things to you before you admit you're retarded?

[Jason1]

Canada is a country. LordHoward is a person.


Canada Sucks:D

[nWoCHRISnWo]

Jason1 have some patrionism! Obviously stating that a country so similar to the United States sucks must be implying that USA sucks, too.

Well one different is people from other countries say Americans are more often than not *******s compares to Canadians. That, and our crime rate isn't as high.

Canada is a violent place, but not as violent as America. I still think that Candada is MUCH better when it comes to trying to stop violence than the states, ex. not being able to buy guns literally at every corner.

And to comment on this dog thing, it is nothing. On Opera a couple of years ago they showed this video tape of these two teens beating up a dog in a garbage bag, and lighting it on fire.


EDIT- Sorry there Xantar, got a bit carried away

[Xantar]

Whoa, there, Joeiss. Take a deep breath and calm down. I know you got pissed, but the World Trade Center attack (and corresponding 2,000 deaths) is not something to be bandied about. Especially for something as trivial as somebody who badmouths Canada. People badmouth Canada all the time. Deal with it. It happens to every country.

[TheGrimReaper]

Hey America sucks, ya wanna know why? Just cause it does!

If anybody did not see sarcasm there, they must be shot :D

Dude, dont bag Canada, theres nothing wrong with the country. Or the people.

[Jason1]

Hey, Like Xantar says, Badmouthing Canada and any country is almost an art form or something...I just dont like Canada.

And I just don't like you, you fvcking @sshole...

Explain why you don't like Canada...

Cause I'll explain why I don't like you...

-You hate Canada for no reason
-You're boring...and what you say never seems to make sense
-The way you talk makes you look like a ignorant retard
-I'm SURE you're ugly
-You think Kordell Stewart is the best QB in the NFL (even if you don't, you still think he's really good, WHICH he's not)
-You hate Canada for no reason

[sdtPikachu]

Sigh.

[fingersman]

I like Canada..the air is clean. :D
I also think Pika's avantar is cute...I don't know why I'm saying that it's cute but it is....Hmmmmmmm too much smash bros. :D

BTW Xanny let em fight. It'll liven up the forums. :D
