Much to my surprise people were defending the couple who took their dogs for death in a shelter. I find it very difficult to believe that people with financial hardships would be laughing at the dogs refusal to get up and walk. Thank goodness there are good people out there who do go to shelters just save an animal's life. Speaking for myself, I have to rescue dogs and I would get another one after one of my dogs departs life here on Earth

"A dog is for life, not just for Christmas" this saying is 40 years old. The oldest dog ever, lived to be 29 years old. This means that every single dog alive now was born when this saying was known by the world, so how do these people get into this situation? Ignorance may be bliss, but this is just cruelty. At least there was a happy ending this time.

We just adopted 2 dogs from that shelter in the last 3 weeks. The dogs are awesome!

And ill bet these kinds of creeps will have multiple kids, that they also dont want, but were too lazy to wear a condom or take a pill. I cant picture giving up my pets especially when you know they will be put down! Some humans are just s**t.

Some people just don't care. Their lives are so self centered. They never stop to look around to see the carnage they leave behind them.

Ugh we had people like this with rabbits. One came to the rabbit breeder I worked with and asked to exchange her male rabbit for a female one cause she didn't want him anymore. Breeder refused outright of course. we are not sure what happened to the male but the breeder refuse to sell rabbits to her now. He also have had people give him back rabbit cause they were no longer small and cute. Very often people have over fed the rabbits like 99% pellets instead of 8% pellets, and 90% hay they told them. My past rabbits only lived 4-6 years, I read up on rabbits, learned from the breeder who deal with rabbits for 40+ years and now my oldest is turning 10 and my youngest turning 9 years old. Learn about he pet you are getting and what they need. Ps for people with rabbits in cages, give the a couple of hours in a big pen so they can stretch their legs and jump around or they never walk again.

I am 71...everyone of my dogs were adoptions...my last adoption was this past year in March...I absolutly love big dogs but have finally realized that I am not strong enough for my usual GSD. So this time we found a mama Chihuahua & her 2 month old pup, they are quickly warming the last cold spot in my heart after losing my last dog!

I lived overseas in a country where MANY animals -- dogs, injured donkeys and horses, and other ill and injured animals were often simply abandoned, with vast indifference. Deeply regret that these women took their dogs to a shelter BUT it sure beats them NOT doing so! At least some dogs DO have a chance to be re-homed , and if not, euthanized.....dying slowly of starvation, dehydration -- possible while suffering also from life-ending injury or disease....that's even more horrific. And, in fact, these two dogs DID get rescued by two caring people. My next door neighbor's dog had a similar story - he went to the Animal Control shelter here -- and got his new owner -- in the parking lot outside the facility, when his former owner was just unloading him from the car! I adopted two dogs from pounds/shelters.....and many others gets their new family members from these often very overloaded facilities. The problem is too many unspayed dogs & puppy mills!

I'd gone out and beat those "owners" with every bit of strength I had then more. After that I would explain everything to police, get photos of the license plates, gone to their homes and resumed the a*s kickings. People who take joy in torturing animals and laughing at their pain deserve equal torture under the law. And we should all deliver that torture. Come on now, you all know you are riled up enough to do it and support it.

Two women took two dogs to what was likely to be their deaths. They giggled when the dogs resisted. One dog had mange which had apparently not been treated. There is no indication that the cause of the abandonment was financial hardship or the need to feed their children. Even taking the dogs to the shelter instead of abandoning them may have been to avoid legal charges or to make sure the dogs didn't show up at home again. Based on the evidence these women should not be given charge of so much as a goldfish.

People have been getting pets for all the wrong reasons. "It's Christmas; it's cute; my kid has been begging me for one..." I volunteer with a rescue group and have heard lots of the stories. "It's un-trainable." which usually means the person doesn't have the patience or time to train the dog. "It is too much for my family" = we didn't do the research that the cute puppy will be over 80lbs, and require lots of exercise - and it gets into things (bad dog is usually a bored dog). And the worse one in my opinion: "It's too old. We don't want an old dog. It's too much trouble" = he/she isn't cute any more and we don't want to have him/her around. I wish people would get it into their heads that getting a pet (no matter the species) is a commitment! Not a toy to be discarded when they are tired of it. As for a financial issues, or having to move and cannot take the animal - I get that. But take the time to find a responsible way to rehome.

These women are heartless and disgusting Thank God the dogs were spared. I am shocked by the behavior, giggling!????!!!

It's too bad they couldn't have gone to a new home together.

That's sad when you have to say goodbye to your puppy especially when your dog is your best friend I know how hard it is because I know it is hard rought but if you get sad just think about the good times you had and do not think about the bad things think about the good things in life

I can understand hardship, but if the post is correct, the owners were just laughing as they were bringing the dogs in, so I have no understanding.

God bless you for your compassionate action on behalf of these animals. Those 2 women who were laughing at their terror are the kind of people I was brought up to avoid. And to think they are probably around children, the elderly and other vulnerable beings! It doesn't bear thinking about. I think about people like Ann Flores when I want to retire from the human race and she reminds me that there are indeed GOOD people in this world.

People have been giving their kids and pets away for yrs.they have to answer to god.they are suppose to be our life but for some don’t ever deserve a dog let alone a child.

if you MUST bring your pet to a shelter, you make sure it's a NO KILL shelter, rescue center or ASPCA... else find someone to adopt them... dont leave it up to the odds that they'll be adopted or killed.

Those people should never had dogs in the first place. Shame on them for what they were about to do. No place to live. Try living in a dog shelter . Watch some of the dogs and cats being taken to their death. Maybe then you will learn. Don't own an animal unless you can give it a good home,food and proper care. you discussed me.

So sad

Awful just heartbreaking

So, neither of these women have ever heard of the internet apparently. I have know many individuals who have used this incredible website on the internet called Facebook. They posted their situations on this website and asked for people to help find a home for their pets! It's worked every time!

...and at the same time, people enjoy their steak or hamburger, drink their milk and eat their eggs and are fine with killing tiny humans.

They are bitches BUT you shouldn't shame them publicly, you know why ? Because now, people will tie their dogs somewhere in the woods, letting them to die like that instead of facing the risk to be filmed dragging their dog to a shelter :/

People who truly cant "afford" their dog any longer, find a good home themselves or contact rescues that can place them before ever giving to a kill shelter and frankly if that really was their only option, a real dog owner would be balling the entire time...

The people defending this clearly didn't read they were going to be euthanised within days of arrival.

People like this shouldn’t be able to have pets. Thank goodness there are people out there who rescue many dogs from cruel and heartless humans. (I know some people out there need to give up their cherished pets for many reasons, bless you for trying)

Every single time I read "will break your heart", I have to read it! It´s like a magnet to me...Why oh why do I like suffering!

Heartbreaking!! I have an urge to kill these f*****s that did this

This is heart breaking beyond belief. I have no family. I went to them in a time of need and because a 18 year problem wasn’t fixed over night, they spread malicious rumours about me to national press and through social media. This resulted in my so called friends dropping me too.... so the only living things on this earth who treated me, like the nice, kind, decent person I am, where my beloved animals. Due to the above, I doubt I’ll have children. My pets are my everything. Therefore, coming 2nd place on the list of things I hate, after my family, are animal abusers

:'-( ~from a guardian of 7 dogs (and 5 cats)

I really wish that people would realize that adopting a pet is lifetime commitment, and if you're not ready for that commitment DON'T GET A PET!!!! Humans don't deserve the love and loyalty our K9's give us.

A pet is for life but you never know what kind of situation someone gets into, possibly having no other option than to give up their pet. BUT considering this was a kill-shelter and the women were just laughing... pretty much shows they didn't care about the dogs. But atleast they didn't just dump them on the street or in the woods...

Poor babies 😢

I just have to say how strange it is that people people (RIGHTFULLY) have such compassion and concern for animals we deem companions. But no one cares or wants to hear of the brutal, short lives of animals we deem livestock and how they are horribly murdered. Why don’t they matter too? I find the clear split off of compassion and empathy for “classes” of animals in our society to be psychopathic and I believe it’s where our violence to each other is rooted. We so easily cut off compassion and love for those we deem “other”. Vegetarian ya’all...try it !!
