I'm a little miffed right now.
There's this older couple who live on the end of the street, and they have this horrible terrier cross. And it's a biter and a barker. And well, the lady doesn't know how to handle it, so she ends up beating it.
Well, my mother was delivering papers for my sister the other day (cuz she was sick) and she walked up to the house, and the dog bursts out the door and attacks her. First her arm, but my mom had on a big parka so she shook it off, then it bit her leg, real bad too. :S
Well, the dog is now under a 20 day quarantine, which pisses off the owners. So you know what they did? They saw my cat outside, and deliberately picked him up and took him to the animal shelter. We were worrying sick about our cat because he was never gone this long. So there he was, at the SPCA, with a hurt leg and as pissed off as I've ever seen him. We had to pay a fine to get him out, and we got this huuuuge lecture about letting him out. Well pfft, our two older cats go free roaming outside all the time. None of the neighbors have a problem with it, if anything they like it because our cats are amazing mousers. You won't find any rodent anywhere around where we live because of our cats.
Now, our cats can't go out at all anymore because of what happened and they're completely pissed off because of it. They're hell to deal with. :S
I feel horrible for this dog. It's not treated properly AT ALL. It's abused like you wouldn't believe. But I don't really know what to do about it. And I feel bad because I'd be taking away this old couple's companion.
Oy.
That was more of a rant than anything, but whatever.
