Poor kid ...poor dog!!! 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.
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.

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.

Most of my friends are dogs :(

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

GameMaster 02-08-2002 01:40 AM

Dead dog free is the way to be :D

Ric 02-08-2002 05:49 AM

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 02-08-2002 09:23 AM

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?

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.
