The thread title was misleading, I did open it expecting some story of a bungled burglary where a woman was murdered and she happened to be a foster parent for dogs. But is that a big deal, headlines are supposed to grab attention, are they not.
I disagree with the comment a dogs life is worth less than a human life, it depends on the human. These people/animals that felt the need to kill these dogs (and especially regarding the one who's dogs were mutilated afterwards) are not worth the moral cost of a rats life IMO, parasites should be exterminated, human or otherwise. I wouldn't blink an eye to see these guys put down infront of me. But I know that is out of context to what you meant Pedro so I'm not disagreeing, I know what you mean.
Actually Tomas could have worded his post better, using wordage like 'sensational details that would be sure to attract attention' and 'You can?t post all these ?irrelevant? details', and ' if the thread was about caring for puppies I wouldn't have spent any time reading it' there is no need to use wordage like this on such a sensitive and heartbreaking topic. If they were my dogs I can assure you I would be in a much more dramatic tone than the OP.
But it is his right to not feel as strongly about animals as others and this does not make him heartless in any way and so IMO BelK might have over reacted, but as dog lovers it is a sensitive subject and emotions are running high in some.
