Man apologizes after trying to euthanize dog with a HAMMER!!! ( Archived) (13)

Isn't this why all Americans carry guns




So they can put creatures in pain out of their misery



And leave the dog with people who will actually care for it

Did the dog recover since it was alive when the police found it.....

whoops i just reread it and i see the dog had to be put down which was the best thing for it i guess....

Ummm, no it did not recover. If you read the article it says, "Gaugnon said they decided the only humane thing to do was euthanize the dog".

So the humane society euthanized the poor thing.

I can't believe the idiocy of some people......these idiots will probably get a fine of about $500 bucks and get off scott free.

seems weird he would place a pillow under the dog when he buried it

also seems a bit weird that they placed a log on the dog which had been removed by a neighbour ..seems something akin to a buriel marker

also the dog could of been stunned when they hit it and they thought it dead...


So has anyone posting remarks on this man, who owned the dog for i pressume 13 years ever had to kill an animal before...........or are we all just city/town folk who buy our meat from the supermarket

In the country side if a cat is caught near a farm some people would snap its neck by holding the two rear legs and placing the neck /head on a gate before crushing with a large log....the reason is because the cat can get the eggs and harm livestock


some Farmers use poison which can be very dangerous ....

I just want to try and understand the whole story rather than judge on emotions.....

When I was 5 years old, I used to visit a beautiful little puppy who was living in a back yard at a home not far from my house.... It was a friendly little dog, and I spent alot of time reaching through the chain link fence to pet it, and I would talk to it very softly..... It was usually all alone in the back yard, and I would visit it every day....

There was a field next to the where the puppy lived, with a hill that we used to slide down with our sleds in the winter, and a small section of trees where we would cool off on hot summer days.....

One day I saw some comotion going on with the man who lived in the house with the puppy.... He was walking up the hill to the section of trees carrying a white pillow case.... Being curious I followed from a distance up the hill towards the man.... When he saw me he yelled "get away from here!"... I complied immediately retreating down the slope, yet was watching over my shoulder as I walked..... Suddenly the man took a hammer and began to beat the pillow case..... I heard the most horrendous cries and yelps I have ever heard in my life, as the pillow case exploded in blood..... I knew then he was beating the puppy to death, and I burst into tears and ran home as fast as I could to get help...
The cries did not last long though, before I could even get out of the field there was silence..... and my whole world was shattered.... the sense of loss was overwhelming, even at such a young age.......
Every now and then, I think about that puppy, and still hear the cries, and shed the same tears I did then, to this very day...........
