For the record, I said you are stupid, I didn't call you stupid.
(Actually I called you Einstien, which if taken literally could be mistaken as a compliment)

That's pretty sad. Wonder how peoples priorities get so screwed up that they put animals on the same level as humans.
I would need to know more details of the scenario before answering that.

That's actually funny.
Some people have no children of their own.
Maybe because their kids are grown & left,
maybe because they are unable to have their own or what ever.
Either way there is still an urge to provide a good home & care for someone you love.
Why does it bother you that people are in this situation & choose to cherish another being that returns that love & loyalty?

The only problem i have with it is there is a shift in society where animals are equal to humans and the policies some of these people push. On another popular sledding website they raised significantly more money for two worthless meat horses than they did for eight families of men killed in the Sparwood avalanche. To me something is wrong with that.
Everyone has the right to give charitably towards any cause they wish.
If "my cause" gets $100 and another cause that I don't happen to agree with gets $1000, I need to remember to be thankful for those who chose to give me $100. What any other charity receives is absolutely of no consequence to "my cause".

Wow, I have read all the posts here and I am absolutely amazed that there are only 2 people here that have a brain (Skidoorulz and Bigbird). The rest of you clowns don't have a clue, especially you Mafesto. You say that some people want to provide a good home and care for something just like kids. Ok fine and dandy, if you think your animals are your kids keep them where you can provide and care for them.....your yard!!!!!!! Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with dogs, however I do not have dogs therefore I do not want dog sh%$ in my yard, nor do I want to hear someone else's dogs running down the street barking all the way by my house at 5:30 in the morning or 11:00 at night. Would you let a 3 year old child run the neighborhood unsupervised??? I think not. And for you people that say the guy should be gutted like a fish or If they were your dogs he'd be eating through a straw, you people are the ones that feel real tuff after about 10 beers, but truth be known someone call you to the carpet for real over your idiocy and you would probably pee down your legs. If these dogs were poisened while trespassing on someone else's property they got what was coming, their owners should have kept them (their kids)home. I will agree that if this guy is going around poisoning dogs on their own home property then he is in the wrong. Now for a little fact for all you people that think dogs or animals in general are equal to humans, in Montana it is completely leagal for a dog or any animal to be killed for harrassing livestock, they can be legally killed by the livestock owner or law enforcement. Sure sounds like they are human to me. Now for all you tuff guys that will fire back and want to kick my *** or gut me like a fish. Don't waste your breath I am only posting once and will not be drawn into your 8 year old meet me on the playground mentality.

Mafesto I think what Bigbird is trying to get through to you is that obviously 2 starving horses that were obviously mistreated by their owners were obviously rescued and the rescuers were begging for donations to nurse these horses back to health and they were probably flooded with donations. It is more likely than not that even when these horses are nursed back to health that they will be good for absolutley nothing other than eating hay due to the health problems brought on by starvation. In truth a bullet would have been way more humane. We including myself have absolutly no problem going out and throwing a chunk of lead at a nice piece of Venison or hooking a fish, but some cry a river when an animal gets killed by a car or a guy with a De-Con meatball both of which could have been prevented by keeping your kids at home. But have 8 families whose pet was killed in an avalanche ask for help and they don't get squat. I am going to say it one more time real loud.
ANIMALS ARE NOT PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .!..
Just for clarity here, I have NEVER gave to PETA, however I have given a fair amount to other organizations that focus on animals (pets in particular).
I don't agree with PETA's views regarding fur, leather, etc.
Anyway, I agree there times when a dog needs to be shot, usually because shooting the owner would involve too much red tape!
Sadly some dogs are a menace to society & the owners ignore numerous warnings and leave people with no choice other than destroy the offender.
However, anyone who would kill a dog without first contacting the owner & making their intentions known is a coward.
Let me say that again....
(Assuming there is no immenant danger from the dog)
If you kill a dog without telling the owner what you intend to do, then you sir are a coward.
I'm not a cat person, but I feel the same about someone who swerves to run over a cat.
These animals may literally be the best friend of a child, & the intentional killing of these animals can fu@# a kid up for life, literally.
I realize you can't understand why I respect animals at the level I do.
I'm not sure I understand it either, but I think it's because so many people have become such pieces of crap that I marvel at the pure souls of animals who are untouched by the materialism in the world.
If I lost our house, vehicles & life savings and had to sleep in a cardboard box with my dog, she would still see me as her hero.
Lastly, knowing that one day I will have to end her time here puts a lump in my throat.
The thought of someone else taking her life lights in me a raging fire with a fury you do not want to see.
Sorry for the longwinded reply.

Animals are loyal for 1 reason. You feed them! Give your dog to someone else and walk away for a year the dog will become loyal to the new guy feeding them. Come back a year from now without the dog seeing you and guess what? You are now a stranger to them.
So when the time comes to end your dogs life, are you going to do it or are you going to take it to a vet and have it done humanely?
If you are going to take her to a vet, I sure would hate to be the vet and have to see the raging fire

Poke fun if you wish.
I held our last dog in my arms while the vet put her to sleep.
It was the right thing to do & it was time, but it tore me up.
Just because you don't understand how I can feel this way does not make me wrong.

My wife and I both cried like babies when we had to put our last pet of 12 years down. But it still was not a child or of anyother human equivalent. I would rather lose 50 pets than 1 child or any other human close to me.
And I'm not saying you are wrong for feeling that way.
The discussion has really strayed in this thread.
My point is that whether the dogs in this story were innocent or problem dogs, it was cowardly for someone to poison them.
If you disagree, then we will just have to agree to disagree.
I have enjoyed the debate, it's been a long time since I was drawn into an interesting topic on this ghost town of a forum.
