I get mad when  people abuse animals. Like when I watch the ASPCA cops. It makes me happy when they  arrest the people that hurt the animals. I want to know WHY they abuse the animals.

It's one of the way for them to channel their anger. they sometimes imagine the animal is a person that had done damage to them when they abuse the animal the imagine that that they hit the person they were angry at. this type of person have to take anger management class or they can solve it them selves by trying to find other way to channel their anger maybe by buying a sand bag to his on it carrying heavy object helps to reduse the level of anger in a person.\nand also this person have to have support from their love ones.\nother reason this person have the tendency of feeling superior when they hurt animals. they think there is no other way for them to feel strong and by abusing animal it makes them feel strong.

Some times people kill them for the "sport" and even more for the MONEY!  Yes, like the tusks of elephants for the ivory.  It is really sad but it is true.  Minks get killed for their fur....but that has slowed down but it still is happening.  I think more people are aware of the crualty to all animals espically endangered and many have woken up to the wrong doings.  However, there are still some boneheads that don't quite get it.(But that is true in life)  PITA ia a great program trying to protect animals.

I would tell my family/friends that I love them and am happy to have had the time I have had with them. Then I would go to all the animal shelters and release all the critters. That way they would not die in cages. I would leave violent criminals in their cages though. Non-violent prisoners would need to be released also.

I believe un-domesticated animals have the right to freedom and being in a cage is not humane to them. To be taken from there origin and brought to an unfamiliar area behind bars held captive in a smaller area than there usual habitat and then to be gawked at by onlookers......No I don't think they are happy and I don't think its fair to them...

They are against evreything, including having pets. They believe all animals should run free & wild. I may be a vegetarian, but PETA is crazy.

why you want to kill any animal or bird for fun, it`s different if you have to kill for food, but a defenceless creature doing you no harm, i really hope that some day,  someone puts you  under fire and you get to experience the `THRILL` from being hit. you sick B*****d

Stop being hypocrites. We do the exact same to other naimals just as intelligent as dogs. But because they aren't so 'cute', it's not something that really bothers us. You mention the suffering of dogs, but don't forget the cruel treatment of countless other animals.\n\nI agree that it is wrong, but it's not only dogs we should be concerned about.

I feel for you because I'm just the same. Nature has this way of making you cringe!! I would enjoy something less gory, and more almost animated. You're not a wimp just care about animals.

I am all for animal rights. The bulls have been mistreated. Let the animals have their day.

If these dogs are violent you have a right to defend yourself.  Especially if one attacked your child.  If it were me or my child, I would have defended him/her/myself with whatever I could grab.  If the authorities aren't responding, you have no choice.  Are you talking about police, or animal control?  Did you try calling both?\n\nIf the dogs are just goofy, playing, jumping, then I wouldn't try to hurt them - just chase them away.

It wasn't the people that made my favorite job of all time a favorite.  In fact, the people I worked with were pretty terrible people.\n\nThe best job I ever had was an adoption counselor at an animal shelter.  Yeah, the pay was terrible and a lot of the people I worked with weren't there because they cared about animals (more like they couldn't get hired anywhere else).  And it was heartbreaking to see the condition of some of the animals that came in (really makes you wonder how incredibly evil a person can be). \n\nThere's nothing that could compare to that feeling I'd get when a dog would finally come around, even after a lifetime of abuse, and start to trust me.  Finding good homes for the animals made it all worthwhile too.\n\nThen again, I've always gotten along with animals better than people anyways.  But yeah, I agree...the people you work with do have a big impact on whether you stick with a job or not.  No matter how much I loved the work I was doing, I still quit my dream job because my manager was too parasitic for me.

Let me ask you a question prior to my answer. If I took an angry man and caged him and treated him like a dog, what do you think he would be like when I let him out?\nI think some changes could be made overall, but Even a criminal needs to be treated with some level of compassion if you want a better person to come out.

See, both of which involve an emotional roller coaster.  Love and Hate both require you to get sucked into a vortex of sin and degredation.  Not true however, with animals...They are fine to love.  Have a good day!

I think the point of these shows is to inform the public the lenancy of the court system.  I think by airing the cases they get more support in the community and better state legislature passed.  \n\nI worked at our local animal shelter for almost two years.  It's horrible what people can get away with.  (A lot worse than I've ever seen on Animal Planet.)  My dog Ra was found on our interstate when he was 5 months old.  He had three inbedded collar (nylon, choke chain, and flea collar).  He was scared to death and the officer had to crawl to coax him to her.  My husband had just returned from Iraq and we adopted him.  He turned out to be the best dog I have ever had.  About a month had past and we received a call at the shelter about a lost dog.  The lady was looking for a St. Bernard mix that had a tight collar on (my new dog).  I put her on hold and had her talk to Julie, the head animal control officer.  She said she wanted the dog back and she had been treating his injury with Neosporin.  Julie told her politely the dog was no longer at the facility and they only kept strays for a week.  Unfortunatley, they couldn't prosecute since she didn't come forward during the Ra's stray stay at the shelter.\n\nI've seen cats crucified to boards, puppies spray painted and burned with cigarettes, paper thin horses that were court ordered to be returned to the owner, and dogs hanged.  People are cruel and we need stronger legislature.  One problem is some people don't believe animals have feelings.\n\nThe blank out the faces of the people because they need to sign waivers to appear on TV.

The best, and I suppose worst, explanation I have heard is that "we just don't have a dog in that fight".  Basically they have nothing we want/need so why should we give a damn?  A disgusting thought, but it seems to be prevalent.

It is a crime. Though maybe not as serious as mistreating a human, it's still bad if someone will intentionally hurt a basically defenseless animal. These ppl are the ones who often hurt people next.\n*In China dogs and cats can be considered food.*
