NBR: I had something horrific happen to me today

I posted it in the pets board but I'll post it here because it was just, so horrible that I'm still very shaken by it.  I'll paste it below:

If i make any mistakes in this post, I'm sorry.  I'm still shaking and traumatized.I was driving to my dad's house to drop something off that he needs.  I had the baby in the back.  Anyway, I have to pass through a pretty bad neighborhood to get to my dad's.  There's no way of getting around it.  I saw 3 boys KICKING A DOG HORRIFICALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I wanted to KILL myself.  I screamed something out my window and then one of the boys (they were about 15 or so) pulled out a gun and SHOT THE DOG!!!!!   I hightailed it out of there and drove to a police station that's about 2 miles away.  I was almost screaming in there and crying my eyes out.  The police sent someone to check it out.  Needless to say, I didn't get to my dad's.  I want to die, die, die.  Those images will never leave my mind.  OMG!!!!!!!!CryingCrying

  • OMG! How horrible and absolutely scary! They had a gun, and you think they were only 15? Where are these kids parents, so ridiculous. I think they should be arrested- sent to Juvi.  That is so sad. I am so sorry you had to witness that.
  • Indifferent  Wow, that is terrible!  I'm sorry!

    Is there any way you can go to your dad's house w/o driving through that neighborhood?  I'm always afraid of my car breaking down in one of the bad neighborhods, so I avoid them like the plague...

  • OH MY GOSH!!  How horrible!  I hope that those boys get caught!  I would totally look for another way to get to your dad's house or tell him he has to come to you. 
  • I only got through about the first 2 sentences of your post.  I can't stand when someone hurts animals!!  It makes me SO upset.  That has got to be one of the saddest things to see!  I hope the little SHITTTT gets in HUGE trouble for it. 
  • that is terrible and very scary. what if he pointed the gun at you?  that poor dog, i hope he didn't suffer to long before they shot him.  torturing animals is jeffrey dahmer territory!

  • They were just doing it for the heck of it?  That is horrible.  I'm glad you got out of the area quick if that is their idea of a good time, you definitely don't want to be around when they decide to escalate their behavior.

    I'm still traumatized and probably will be for life.  They were caught and charged with a whole bunch of stuff.

  • OMG that is horrible!  WTF is wrong with those boys, what part of kicking/hurting any animal is fun and entertaining.  I'm happy that you and your LO are ok, that is so scary.  I would have been hysterical.

    Oh my gosh! What a horrible thing to see, what is wrong with people. My dogs are my children too, I can't imagine why someone would do such a thing

  • OMG! I can't believe how cruel people can be! This breaks my heart! Hopefully the police caught them and they will be slapped with animal cruelty charge. I'm sorry you have to live with hat image. I'm glad you and your LO are okay since their was a gun involved.
  • Omg you poor thing! I am still traumatized from one night I heard a dog barking horribly seemingly in pain until I heard a shot and silence. I was in bed and never found out what happened. To have seen what you saw.... I cannot imagine!

  • OMG!! I'm sorry that happened. I'm glad you made it to the police dept, and I think from now on you should meet your dad some where. That is not a safe place for you and DD to drive through.

    The kids are gang members and were told by the older gang members to dispose of a bait dog (a dog that's used for bait for fighting dogs).  They were caught and surprisingly admitted their guilt.  It was so horrific.  I was terrified.  I didn't know those STUPID IDIOTIC kids had a gun!!!!!  If I did, I would've just called the police on my cell phone, but since I'm an animal lover, my first instinct was to yell at them.  Those images will never leave my mind.

  • OMG this gave me chills.  I'm so sorry you had to see that.  I hope those boys are locked up for a long time.  That is just SICK.
  • That is horrible.  What the hell is wrong with people.  That poor, poor dog.  I also started crying as I looked at my own dog that I treat like a human.

  • Oh my god, that is so horrible! I would have been completely hysterical if I had witnessed that too. I'm glad you and your baby are okay and that the boys were caught. What a truly horrendous experience for you.

  • omg that is HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! where the f were you driving??? i hope the cops arrested them! 

    i saw a dog get hit by a car and it was so horrific i cannot even talk about it, lets just say the dog was doing things that healthy animals should never be doing i started sobbing and went to find a highway patrol to go get the dog.  it was HORRIBLE.

    I don't mean to hijack the thread, but there could be a chance that the dog had been very badly injured, was in pain and dying, and the person who shot it was ending its suffering.  I mean, I'm not saying that's something that I would ever want to do, but suppose the dog had been hit by a car and was terribly mangled or something...I just don't see the point in making the dog suffer needlessly on a ride to the vet, only to be euthanized there.  Especially since you heard the dog making sounds as though it was in pain, I would suppose this might've been the case.

    But yeah, it obviously sucks either way.

    I was driving to my dad's.  My dad doesn't live in a bad part but you have to pass through this neighborhood to get there.  I've passed through this neighborhood 3 gazillion times and have never seen anything like this.  I wanted to pluck out my eyes.  It was so horrific and I'll never forget it.

  • No one should have to see something like that.  Sorry that you did.

    People can be digusting!!

    Oops.  I thought you meant this towards my post.  Sorry!

    The kids admitted that it was a bait dog for dog fighting and were told to "dispose" of it.  They were violently kicking it and then when I screamed at them, they pulled out the gun and shot it.

    this is what I thought too and it's possibly the best case scenario. Yet hearing it was horrible I cannot fathom having seen what the OP saw!!

  • That really is horrible.  Sorry you had to that.

    They're in BIG trouble, especially for the firearm posession.  They also got a 1st degree animal cruelty charge and they had drugs on them also.

  • Oh my gosh! That is terrifying. Just reading your post made my blood run cold. I'm so, so, so sorry  1) that something like that happened & 2) that you had to witness it -- especially now, with a new baby when you just want to cherish all the sweetness & innocence of life. I would be traumatized as well!!!  Thank goodness your little one is too young to know what was going on. Terrible. Hopefully the police will be able to prosecute someone for animal cruelty.

    I wish there was something to make you feel better. ((hugs))

  • I am soooo sorry you had to see such a horrific thing.  It often makes me sad to think what a horrible world I have brought two children into. So much suffering of innocent animals makes me so sad. Whenever I hear about children or animals suffering it stays with me for a very very long time. I am not one who can easily forget things. I don't know, I think I'd have PTSD if I ever witnessed something like you saw today. I hope those kids are thrown in jail and they bust up the dog fighting ring pronto. They need to really crack down on this sick "sport".

    Imagine, I'm traumatized by those ASPCA commercials, you can only imagine seeing abuse in front of your very eyes.  I'm still in shock.  It was so horrible.
