Nothing at all to do with fishing, but I feel I must say something.

[Hiram.A.Biff]

I read with utter horror and revulsion today, in the Mail, about a Labrador pup having to be destroyed in South Shields. after a member of the public saw three youths playing football with it.
Youve read that right lads, usung a puppy as a football. It lived for several hors after treatment but began to take fits due to brain damage and was subsequently destroyed.
What makes people do something like that? I tried to figure ot out, but it is incomprehensible. It cannot have bitten them, or frightened them. so why do it.
In all sincerity I hope they are caught. I think they will be because people like that can never keep their mouths shut.
I am at a loss what to say.
People like that should have their hearts and lungs removed and put to good use.
Sorry if Ive taken space on a fishing site lads. but I felt so strongly I had to.
They make me sick.

As you say Paul.......nowt to do with fishing, so I\'ve moved your topic to the CHAT forum.

As you (and just about everyone else on NESA knows), I live in So. Shields....What I read in the paper yesterday and seen on the local TV news tonight made me almost ashamed to admit that I live in Shields.

Let\'s hope that the 3 sick b*st**ds are caught and dealt with. Given the amount of public outcry, both locally AND through the national press, over the incident, I doubt if the courts would dish out a lenient sentence.........even if those sad f**ks were only teenagers.

Who knows.....maybe there is a use for the \"Anti lobby\" I\'m sure they\'d like to meet out some justice to them.

I know, ashamed to be geordie almost.
makes you wonder doesnt it. Ive nop doubt they will be caught Tony, the problem is, their ID;s will nnot be revealed. Bast**s

[micky-quayle]

whats incomprehensible to me is what can possibly be going through their minds at the time. how can anybody sober, drunk or high on sustances consider doing something like that to a defenceless animal thats never done anything to anyone.
its similar to a case several years ago when my next door neighbour was walking along the top of claxheugh rock, he saw a group of yong lads laughing at something and knew they were up to no good, he went over and the had a 6 week old pup that they had hacked the ears off and were about to through over the cliff, he gave a couple of them a hiding, the others legged it and he kept the dog himself, a lovely animal, how can anyone do something like that ?

Yvonne and I watched that story on the news tonight and like you we said the same things. Nothing bad enough can happen to these people. They will be caught because SOME people in this region DO care.

I\'m nightshift this week and read this article last night in the Metro newspaper. There was a photo of the puppy, taken just before it was destroyed and it brought a lump to my throat.

It sickens me as a dog owner / animal lover at the brutality shown by these mindless, warped sicko\'s.

I\'m ashamed to say that I also live in South Shields, my estate literally backs onto the fields where this happened. These \"people\" probably live in my area. What\'s to say my dog, cats or children won\'t be on the receiving end of a kicking the next time?

They need to be made accountable for this disgusting, unhuman act. Someone, somewhere knows who they are and what they\'ve done and I just hope they have the common decency to hand them over to the police.

A slow painful death would be too good for these b*stards.

Too soft in this country,too many \"do gooders\",bring back hanging,the birch and national service.imo These three things are well before my time by the way.

[IanW]

Sick ****ing ******* ****s should have the life kicked out of them.

Form a que, £1 a kick should be able to raise a tidy sum.

[KeithB]

I think we should join the \"Do Gooders\" and offer them a boat trip!!

Get six mile out, then tell the *****ers it\'s a one way ticket

[sless]

great minds think alike keith

[willywetegg]

Just heard on the local news that the police have been given two names. Hope they are the right ones.

Jim.

[TC]

Missed the local news tonight, Jim.......but that IS good news.

As you say, let\'s hope they ARE the correct names that have been given to the police.

If they are, I wouldn\'t be surprised if the names aren\'t released for \"legal reasons\"......more to the point - their own safety. Even if the names aren\'t released, it won\'t take long before word gets around locally.

Tony I read yours and Rob\"s post\"s on this thread and I have to say never be ashamed of where you are from. Just be ashamed of the scum that happen to come from near you.

Jim.

[TC]

\"scum\" is too nice a word for them, Jim.......Unfortunately, I can\'t say what I feel coz I\'d just have to delete my own post and ban meself from the Board....

For those outside the N.E. and hven\'t heard of this incident in the press, this is the puppy used as a football......... left blinded in one eye and suffering brain damage so severe that it had to be put to sleep by a vet...........
