I keep thinking about the agony and pain that poor dog must be enduring because of this hearless b!tch. To think that someone could care so little about a living, breathing, helpless animal... it sickens me to death.
I can't imagine the fear that dog is feeling, the fear it's family is likely feeling... It's bad enough to worry about your dog when you know that something has happened. But for someone to plow down your animal and leave it on the road to die, and for you to not have any idea where your dog is, what it's feeling, what it's thinking... that's unthinkable.
As I sit here and type this, I think of all the furbabies I've lost or almost lost because someone didn't care to stop and let me know they were hurt. I had a cat when I was very young who was hit by a car on my street, and he crawled to my side fence to lay down and die... He wanted to be close to home, and close to me when he finally let go. I was 6 when this happened, and it still brings me to tears.
I hope that someone has seen the dog and taken it to an animal ER, or at the very least called animal control to help this poor dog. It warms my heart to see the outpouring of love and concern for this animal that I've seen here tonight. And "snickybugg" deserved each and every flame she got tonight. She doesn't deserve to live considering that she doesn't care if that poor dog lives or dies. I fear for her animals and her child.
ps. how do I post a picture in a post so I can send a photo of my wonderful furbaby.
Re: I've been sick to my stomach re: dog killer
I know, it's so sad. It sounds like people are reporting the incident though. Hopefully the pup is doing okay.
I go to tinypic.com and then you have to resize it to fit an e-mail.
umm...ok I totally was one of the flamers on this earlier and I agree she was way out of line. But this is extreme. Let's have some perspective ok.
I'm sorry you are so upset and I hope you feel better.
I agree and if she ever comes back I plan to let her know I remember what she did, but what pp bolded is a bit extreme.
I agree that was a bit extreme, I apologize.
I just really hope she understands the gravity of the hurt she has caused that poor dog and it's family. And at the very least, I hope she doesn't come back to the bump.
I think everything is on page 2. Some of her dd's were caught.
Just like I've said before, anyone making excuses condoning her behavior is no better than she is. The purpose of looking up her info was to do what she refused to do, because she is a heartless b!tch, and that's report the incident to someone who will do something about it. Maybe you should read a little more thoroughly next time.
Um...like what? "Hello, 911, someone on the internet said she hit a dog on the road and didn't stop, here's what I think her name and address are, go arrest her!" Seriously??
This! Summer wasn't even in the initial drama. She came after OP did a grand exit, then asked what happened. This was after all that was deleted.
It probably wouldn't have been a huge mess, though it still would have upset a lot of people, if she hadn't continued to post. I agree people make mistakes and regret them, but she clearly did not and admitted that she didn't care one way or the other.
I've NEVER seen the bump as nuts as it was tonight, so if she thinks that we're nuts, that's fine. We all think she's a heartless biiitch who deserved to get her ass reported. I don't feel any sort of regret for that. Demeaning those that are passionate about animals won't get you far in a post that is still trying to wrap their minds around someone who leaves a dog at the side of the road to die.
Don't pop your head in at the end of the party and give your two cents. It doesn't help when you weren't there to begin with.
Yes! It's not like anyone who looked up her info was doing it to scare her, or harm her. Just because we're upset and concerned for the dog, and looking for a way to contact local law enforcement or animal control, doesn't mean we're crazy and seeking to harm the dumb b!tch who hit the poor thing. No one ever said she hit the dog on purpose... Who would do that?! We're not dumb, we know it was an accident. However, she did make a choice to not get out and help the dog, and she did make the choice to "not give a sh*t about the dog".
I'm glad she's gone.
Amen.
If we were literally nuts, we would have just called her cell phone that she gave on her myspace and harassed her that way. Obviously, our concern was never for her or her misguided attempts at redeeming herself. It was for the dog. Always the dog.
What exactly is there to report? On the legal side there is NOTHING to report. A dog is seen as property to the law. If the dog got out and she hit it, it is the responsibility of the pet owner to pay for damages....to her car and for the vet bills for the dog. A driver is only required to stop and render aid if they are in a collision with another motor vehicle or a person. I'm not exactly sure what you want the police to do.
Morally, should she have notified the owner? Probably. Is she required to? Nope.
Just because things seem like they should be crimes doesn't mean they are.
I think cyber stalking a lady over a dead dog is going a little far.
I understand that just because it should be a crime, doesn't mean that it is. I also never said anything about having her arrested for hitting the dog. Although there should be laws in place requiring someone who hits an animal to notify the owner, or animal control, I know that there isn't. However, we are simply concerned for the dog, I don't care what happens to her, because she is none of my concern, I only wish she had enough of a heart to call someone to come help the innocent dog she plowed down. Before leaving the site, she stated she was going to the owners home tomorrow to tell them, but she also stated that she was upset about her car. I only hope she isn't going over there just to collect payment for her damaged vehicle, but instead to notify the dogs family that it is definitely hurt, and probably dead.
We weren't asking that she go to jail. No one was condoning the owners irresponsibility of letting the dog wander unleashed. Clearly, you're missing the point.
The point was that someone needed to care for the dog that was left at the side of the road because she refused to do the humane thing and at the very least see if the dog was okay. All she has to do in the state of New York was contact animal control to pick up the animal, and allow the dog to get the care that it needs.
The fact that she continued to say that she didn't give a shiit whether the dog lived or died, and even that it deserved to die is what made others want to report her, for the simple fact of having the police contact animal control of an emergency animal service to find the dog.
AMEN!
No, I understood what the point was...that morally, people thought she was being an a$$bag by leaving the dog without doing anything to care for it after.
I was just confused about why the police were being contacted and all of her personal information was being given to them. I read (from some posts) that it was more for prosecution purposes. I just wanted to let people know that although it was crappy to not to check on the dog, it was not against the law.
Not sure if you saw the original post, but the issue was bigger than that. Yes, we all make mistakes, and if, in her original post, she had expressed a little concern about the dog, and later gone back to check on it, then we probably would've been easier on her. But in her original post, she had a TERRIBLE attitude when we simply (and nicely I might add) asked her how the dog was doing. She said "I don't give two sh**s because they [the owners] have been warned not to let their dog out".. she also said in a later post that she called her husband to ask what he thought, and he said that the owners didn't deserve to be notified.
Now, while all this is going on, we are all reading this and going "THE DOG IS STILL OUT THERE IN THE SNOW! GO CHECK ON IT!" and she was upset because we weren't giving her info on where to buy a seat-belt attachment. She was seriously upset with us for "not caring about her baby". Ok, really, if her unborn baby were hurt, of course we would tell her to take care of that first... but her baby was fine... and she still didn't care about the dog. SHE SAID SO.
We got all up in arms about it because as far as we can tell, the dog is STILL out there possibly suffering and freezing to death, with the owners having no idea so they can get it help. That's not something you can just let go.
we weren't sure that the dog was dead. Probably dead? yes. But dogs have been known to survive worse, especially if it was clipped. We were concerned that the dog was suffering to death in the snow, and that noone was helping it. That's all.
Gag. You suck.
Dog have survived worse., indeed!
Check out this coyote who survived being hit by a car going 70 mph. https://www.ebaumsworld.com/pictures/view/80850854/
I LOVE LOVE LOVE all living creatures, and it sickens me to think of any animal suffering. I do think this lady is insensitive and definitely not very bright, but man, she's paid for it today. I hope she's learned her lesson.
However, that being said, two wrongs don't make a right. It's an elementary idea, but so true. I don't understand some of the bumpies and for lack of a better way to say it, how damn mean you can be to others.
People ask a stupid question, you berate them. People make a dumb observation, you ridicule them. People give their opinions, and I remember one time seeing, she was called a "twatwaffle".
I love thebump! I like getting on here and seeing what other pregnant women are going through, talking about our babies, supporting one another. This board is capable of so much GOOD. Why can't we just stick to that?
Go ahead and call me every name in the book. I won't call you one back.
I agree with your sentiment. I didn't get to see the entire original post (just the beginning) but from what I saw, people weren't calling her names... yet. I do agree that name-calling is juvenile and makes a person's (usually) valid points come across as just mean and petty.
I can honestly say that I have never called anyone a name here on the Bump... but I have also told people the unabashed truth.. same as I would if it were my sister or dear friend. If my sister ran over a dog and didn't care or refused to get it help, I would yell at her too.
Sometimes I do think that some of the ladies are snarky and rude because of something that's going on in their life, or their day and they're just flat out annoyed and it reflects on their responses and posts. Though it's not "right", I can see that and know when to just back off.
There was a dumb "observation" that people that are on medical assistance dress as if they just rolled out of bed and "don't care". I'm not sure what exactly you're referring to, but that's what sticks out to me. When you post your "observations", then you're up for ridicule. Even more so when someone is truly offended and voicing their opinion. It's a two way street.
It has been said many times that this board is very honest, and sometimes to a fault. However, I stick with it because I'd rather hear the truth that someone at babycenter or babygaga lie to me and be fake. There are nicer ways to do it at times, but when you set yourself up like the dog killer did, I don't feel sorry for them for the flaming they get.
If you are worried about people on here being "so damn mean" I have a suggestion for you babygaga.com or you could just get a tougher skin because does everyone IRL blow P&R at you? I mean come on...
I LOVE honesty, and I value the quality!! I don't want it to seem like I'm saying to sugarcoat everything, not by any means!
I think there are very reasonable ways to give a "harsh" opinion. You can disagree with someone, and say so, without calling them names and saying "THEY DON'T EVEN DESERVE TO LIVE". (Someone said that earlier--c'mon really). I believe it's possible to be BRUTALLY honest, but always respectful.
There have been some asinine posts on here, and I've just had to laugh and "click away" (the lady going to the T-TTC board and telling them to do it doggy-style, she really was something else). Some people may say "well, if you don't like it, go to another website". But I really like this website...and 99% of the time it's awesome!
Right. Bad example because someone automatically had jumped on her and said that was extreme and crossed the line. It's not like we were all holding lynching ropes and chanting like "You're right! She's DOESN'T deserve to live!"
There's also a respectful way to post. OP wasn't that. No one called her names until much later. We could have let it go, yes, but some people just don't lay down that easily.
This. ONE person said that, noone agreed with her and she was called on it, she apologized, and that was the end of it.
I understand what you're saying... that sometimes things get WAY ridiculous around here. Things go quickly from an adult debate into an all-out silly mess-where noone's views are really being "heard" and everyone is just "yelling".
I don't think that will change anytime soon, however. It's sort of like a dysfunctional family... you can try to change em (and in the process lose your mind), or you can just ignore the drama and try to have a good time.
Of course I don't think your condoning everything she did!
I do understand what you're saying. I truly feel as if she would have said she would check on the dog (even if she didn't plan to, but didn't have to say that to us) and stopped posting for the night it would all blow over. I can't keep track as to how many girls get in biitch fights every now and then, but it's blown over by the next day. Sometimes you just have to pick your battles. People just got really passionate over this one, and I don't regret picking this battle to voice an opinion.
In my P&R vision I'm trying to create, she didn't kill the dog, it had minor injuries, made it's way back home, owners noticed the injuries and now it's A-ok in a warm vet's office with lots of love and attention. The end.
