Am I wrong for thinking this is animal abuse?

I was walking through the neighborhood this afternoon and a guy was letting his dog out of the car. The dog went around and the leash got wrapped around the owner's legs. In response, the owner yanked the dog back and then open-hand Will Smith slapped the dog across its face multiple times. After he got behind his gate, I could hear him continue to hit the dog.

I know disciplining a dog is one thing, but this was the sort of thing that could get you arrested if you did it to a human.

His wife kept their daughter outside of the gate, presumably so she wouldn't see him beating the dog.

If it happens again, repeat the behavior against the dog owner and see if you are arrested, then you will know the answer.

HPD did not provide me with one. I just hope the police coming by to talk to him about beating his dog is enough make him rethink how he treats animals.

I've always been told if you want to know someone's real character, watch how they treat animals.

It's abuse. Stay on them.

The things people do to animals is appalling. We used to work with a rescue group that focused on abuse. Generally it was far worse than yanking on a dog chain and the police were useless as they had rules to follow. Some of these groups didn't wait around for any police if the animal was truly in danger. They'd grab a few trucks and trailers and a few cornfed buddies and roll up on a property and just take the animal. I don't recommended this in most cases but the point is, if it's truly abuse, don't wait to do something, within reason, of course.

Or how they treat people that can't do anything for them.

Yeah, someone who abuses an animal is likely a sh**head, but on the flip side, there is a high correlation between extreme love for animals/pets and mental illness. A lot of psychos seem to love animals more than humans. From my experience, people who obsess over animals tend to range from craxy to just flat out horrible miserable people.

What do you need cleared up? Do you think PETA folks, or cat collecting women who obsess over their "babies" are generally MORE sane and mentally stable than the rest of the population? No, they are FAR more likely to be miserable to the core and also BSC liberals, suffering from at least one mental illness.

Wrong board - nobody wants to hear you opine on whether dog-beating is a Republican or Democrat problem. Please call your owner to come pick you up and give you a ride in the car back to crazy land. Maybe you can stick your head out the window.

This is wrong. People seek out the companionship from animals to receive and give love and affection. Animals are very nurturing and calming. Hence why we have service dogs that help Veterans or individuals with PTSD.

Those people that strike their animals and hit their dogs beyond what is necessary for simple discipline are more closely linked to being a "psycho". Animal Cruelty is more linked to sadism and psychopathy than "adopting too many cats". Antisocial behavior, lack of empathy, no remorse, etc are going to be the ones who beat their dogs in public and in front of their kids.

From my experience, dude's who plink small critters for fun at the ranch are generally much more mentally stable than the extreme animal lovers. We all love our dogs and cats...I am talking about people who OBSESS over animals.

Anyways, we can agree to disagree. I mean, we're kind of saying the same thing...some super depressed single woman in her 50's is going to rely on her "babies" as a therapeutic of sorts...and good for her...but she'd probably be diagnosed with something after a psych eval if she hasn't already. But then, there are the animal rights activists...crazy as all getout.

RTT -

What did the guy and/or dog look like? I just saw (but mostly heard) a guy being really aggresive with a dog walking west down 11th. It looked like the dog had possibly gotten out and he was bringing the dog back by the collar.

I am glad I don't live in the Heights. I have an incredibly soft dog who will yelp and scream if she pulls on her prong collar and it sounds like I am abusing her, but I am not.

Why does she need a prong collar?

The same reason your mom does...control.

Oh lawd.

She is a very reactive, prey-driven dog. The prong collar helps control her so she doesn't run into oncoming traffic after a squirrel and get her hips crushed under a car.

Use a harness. You won't need a prong collar like some kind of rapper with a pit or Rottweiler.
