One of the first lists I didn't enjoy on BP. It just made me feel sad and angry at the human race.

saddest post on BP so far.

I had to stop reading this after 2 posts.

I'm not even going to read this because animal cruelty in any form is just so utterly depressing. The punishment for those caught abusing animals is FAR to lenient in most countries.

I had to stop reading - too painful by far. Why are there so many evil, stupid people and why do they even get a pet in the first place? Poor beautiful animals.

Some people are scumbags

I'm going to throw up now.

This is one of the saddest posts I have read on Bored Panda, some people don’t deserve pets. It’s so heartbreaking seeing and hearing these stories.

I fail to understand why such harmful photos are here. It wouldn't be so bad if the contributors had made some effort to help end this cruelty. It's almost like " look at this bad person, bad dog owner," etc. How about telling HOW you fixed the cruel situation?

Friends I know have two Border Collies. Working breed with high needs. My friends bought them as cute puppies (Littermate Syndrome) trained them for a bit then gave up. Locked the dogs in a “run” (it’s not.. it’s a cage) and they don’t get let out “because they run away and won’t come back for hours” I said probably because you didn’t train them... what about walking them. But they cant walk the dogs “because they jump up” MAYBE BECAUSE THEY HAVE S**T TON ENERGY AND NO TRAINING? Their Dad sometimes would run them in the moring but he was going away for 7 months. So I begged them to let me walk them. Long story short I trained the dogs to walk nicely, not to jump up and to sit and come. I got told not to come back when I finally snapped. The dogs had no water again.. the bowl leaked so I smashed it and got a new one from laying around, s**t all over, didn’t care why Scout was STILL sick (from the s**t everywhere) and Gracie STILL had a tick I told them about 4 days ago. Been 3 months.

It's so easy: Our pets are family members. Treat them like that. They don't choose to live with you, so treat them with the respect they deserve. That means don't dress them for YOUR fun, don't colour them, but feed them to their needs, give them medical care and love. Just let them be as natural as possible.

I had to stop at 11...my dogs & cat will never be in this kind of post...they all give so much & some people just don't care...if I could I would save more from this kind of treatment... Too bad we can't put these people through the same 💕🐾🐾❗

Dear BP, this is horrible. The headline is kind of tongue-in-cheek but what you're actually showing is 90% animal abuse and cruelty (and 10% disgusting behaviour involving dog s**t). Please don't trivialize cruelty against animals like this!

picking this was a bad idea. animals r my favourite thing in the world, so this is just making me feel like i have a pit in my stomach

My god I just can't with people. This breaks my heart. I'm the proud momma of two rescues (a dog and a cat) A senior I got when she was a puppy and a rescue senior dog. I don't understand how people can do this to an animal that loves them unconditionally. I definitely want to beat some asses after this post.

The silver lining is that most of these animals got help!

DAMNIT!!!!

So I pay a buttload of money to a cat sitter to come stay at my home and take care of my cats for when I'm on vacation/business trip. I make sure to FaceTime the sitter a few times a day and pray hard to find them as healthy as I left them every time and still feel guilty af because I left them for a business trip or a well deserved holiday. So long story short I feel guilty for leaving my cats at home with a sitter that's a full on cat lady which they love so much and how do these people live with themselves is beyond me.

Ugh

I hated going through these, broke my heart.

Why are so many harmless comments being downvoted?
