You’re suggesting Beating and mistreating is fine, but when the weather goes from balmy to brrrrrrrr, that’s when you toss someone in jail?


Exactly, why wasn't he jailed when it was 60 degrees out for the same charges? How the dogs were kept was okay, up until it got cold?

Guy leaves dogs outside while raining with no shelter on a short leash in near freezing conditions and losers on the OT say the owner needs to be "talked to" and "educated." Guys like you are why there's directions on a shampoo bottle. True definition of a ranter.

Look, I agree that the short chain is an issue, not the being outside part. However, couldn't the animal control take a moment to educate the owner instead of bringing him right to jail. I don't know if I've ever seen any kind of regulation on how much leash was required for an outside dog. Kiran's post says the dogs were malnourished, but pics said otherwise. Also, the neighbor says that he beat his dogs. Did they provide video evidence, or was it just one person's word against another? Some people define abuse to animals very differently, and spanking a dog for attacking another dog or growling at a kid is different than kicking and busting a 2x4 over it's head. I just think they could have handled the situation differently.


While I can’t speak for animal control there, here it usually takes multiple offenses for you to be outright jailed for animal abuse.

Part of that “education” is usually citation and a reasonable amount of time to right said citation. People shouldn’t need any more of that.

Hell, I’d argue if you are planning on keeping a pet part of that is educating yourself on how they should be treated.

ETA: It says in the OP, animal control has been called multiple times for these animals.

Exactly my point. If it’s Unacceptable conditions, it’s unacceptable conditions. It can’t be fine at 33 degrees and jail worthy at 32.

I think the main disagreement we're all having in this thread might not actually exist. It's just a shitty attention grabbing news station headline and op's title that are misleading. No where in the article did I see anything about the arrest and complaint being related to weather. It was entirely for how the dogs were kept and treated, which I think we all agree is shitty.

Not in the WBRZ article, but the other article that was posted.

God, these “journalists” are absolutely worthless. Complete fabrications to get clicks.

Well this is just silly. #1, it ain’t even all that cold. #2 many animals absolutely love this sort of Weather, or it doesn’t bother them. It’s all contextual. You can’t say there’s “absolutely no reason”

Kind of like the Bill Burr bit

Last night when Daisy Mae shite on the floor, I yelled at her. Feeling so guilty about it. Do y’all think the police are coming?

Wonder what they would have done to the baw in the weather thread who had the Husky that was airing his balls out in the 36° breeze? Would they consider that "animal cruelty"? Because that good ol' baw was in the closest place to Heaven that he'd seen in years.

big difference between a husky and other dogs. i dont know why this is such a hard concept to grasp for some people here.

thats like saying a guy wearing a fur coat can tolerate the cold as equally well as someone wearing a t-shirt.

This is the linked article pic. Sure looks like being outside in the cold was only a drop in the bucket.

This dog owner is a pos. Why does someone acquire pit bulls and keep them on short chains in the yard apparently in all weather extremities, allow them to be malnourished, abuse them, etc. Why own these dogs? Their is likely more wrongdoing, perhaps even evil doing, behind this story.

Bad for the dogs, bad for neighbors, bad for everyone...except apparently for the pos.

This thread is definitely one of those Rorschach ink blot type threads. Especially with responses before and after the article and photo was posted. It's pretty fascinating seeing how people's minds work.

Having 4 dogs chained up on a 3' leash with no shelter from the cold is abuse. The fact that they're pits leads me to believe the owner is trashy.
Ehh, he was doing the right thing, if he brought them inside or let them loose they would’ve killed someone.

My St. Bernard begs to go outside when it’s below 30 degrees.
