    Two days later, Aldama Garcia went to the Hillsborough County Animal Shelter to attempt to retrieve the dog and showed pictures as proof of ownership, according to the affidavit.

    This guy isn’t just an asshole he’s a stupid asshole too. Imagine thinking there was any chance in hell an animal shelter was going to give you back the dog you left to drown while tied to a fence post in a flooded ditch during a hurricane.

    I think they should tie this dude to a fence next hurricane that comes around, you know so he can wait out storm. I hope this dog goes to a loving home for the rest of their life.

    I will never comprehend how evil or sociopathic someone has to be to do something like this.

          Sure but a non-vegan can absolutely comprehend putting their own convenience over the well-being of an animal. Downvoting won’t change that.

                Pick a lane. Convenience does not equal cruelty.

                On being able to comprehend, there are human conditions that are beyond my comprehension. I mean as an intellectual thought process I am aware why some people do certain things but it is so far outside of my experience that I could never truly comprehend why.

                  It doesn’t have to, but in the case of eating animals it does equal cruelty. For what other pleasure than taste would there be this much bickering when the price is an animals life?

                  Let’s stay with the dog in the picture, would it be cruel to stun it with a bolt gun, hang it upside down and slit it’s throat? Not out of neccesity but because you like the taste?

                IMO, not being able to comprehend cruelty makes someone an ass. The dude in this story could have been kind, polite… they could have helped mow the lawn of their elderly neighbor that’s no longer able to do so themselves.

                Regardless of how otherwise good you are treating a pet that you’ve accepted responsibility for and who, potentially, fully trusts you as family like this… that makes you an ass.

                Anyways I think my only real objection to your original statement is that I don’t think veganism is relevant to this story. I’d say that vegans are more likely to treat their pet well but it’s not a guarantee - even among vegans that made that choice for an ethical reason there are still assholes.

                  Vegans might be nicer to animals but in my experience they’re generally trash to other people. Also a vegan owning a pet is hypocrisy in the finest form.
