It's a sad fact, but true, that people live freely in our society who shouldn't. Who are indeed valueless and whom society would be better off without. Evil people.

It seems to me that people who are cruel to the dogs that love them are just about the worst. I've encountered that a couple of times in my life, and I must say that it pisses me off horribly.

One time, many years ago now, I arrived at my little cabin in the woods to find an old dog living on the porch. I hadn't been there in some weeks, and he was almost dead from starvation. Some food and love were immediately dispatched, and the dog was extremely friendly and gentle.

Unfortunately, he had hip disease and could not be saved.

What had happened though was that some asshole would not provide either the medical attention the dog needed, or humanely euthanize it. Instead this prince of a person dropped it off in the woods, probably telling the children that it would love being free to roam. Of course it wasn't free to roam, it was only free to starve on my porch.

This morning when I woke up I heard a dog barking, but didn't think much of it. When the barks continued for hours though I decided that we had better go and investigate, make sure that the dog was not in distress.

Well, we found the dog, lying in the weeds, apparently run over by a car.

The asshole that hit the dog didn't bother to stop and run him to the vet it seems. The asshole that owns the dog has made no effort to locate him it seems, and to top it off the asshole that owns the dog had no tag on his collar.

We've provided him with food, water, and comfort. Luckily we were also able to make contact with an animal rescue that is now on the way to rescue him and provide medical attention.
