Locals Spot A Dog Stuck On The Edge Of A Balcony, Turns Out She Tried To Escape Her Abusive Owner

So people should be allowed to abuse any living being as they please because they might have had a bad past? A horrible past doesnt make you an abuser. Just like a mental illness or an addiction doesnt make you one.

TheAnimalLady, there is no excuse for abusing, torturing, murdering an innocent, sentient being, period. Everybody can turn their own suffering into helping the most abused creatures - animals, as you did!!! Thank you so much for your compassion.

THIS.

Ikr! Poor doggo was literally skin and bone!

Yes, tracy 👏😺👍This is a more appropriate attitude than murder, a taste of his own medicine.

I agree about the "slap on the wrist" problem, same in most of the USA. And my mother was killing my pets when I was a kid and making me believe I'd done it. (Which, BTW, is ACTUAL Gaslighting.) And she also graduated to abusing me and my father. Then killed me a couple of times (doctors revived me). Back then the explanations/ "excuses" were accepted, now we have forensics. So I totally understand. But vigilante justice gets crazy out of hand and innocent people get caught in the crossfire. Especially if you don't KNOW the backstory... someone could be lying to get back at a perceived slight (like "she said NO to ME, I'm tricking everyone to help me punish her"). Just saying this because it's happened to me.

Oh dear... *to the abuser the same thing s/he did to the animal.

I'm sure about branding if it there's 100% proof of guilt.

Please take a deep breath. What the man did is horrible and unforgivable but it is frightening when people react in such a way

wen ppl come over we give them a cheese stick and tell them to gradually rip off a piece and give it to her without making eye contact and dont speak to her until we say its ok. for women she calms down enough for u to say things to her but men not so much. i told my dad to say hi to her and she was better with him then other men she usually growls or barks but for my dad she just ran behind me and stared at him. mayb she sensed my previous dogs influence on him or that hes a dog person or the similar scent idk but shes different around him which is a start. ups, fedex, mail man none of those people stand a chance. wen she starts barking i just go and hold her which can b difficult cuz im 150lbs and shes a wiggly 65lbs dog but shes getting better. she learned barking in my ear hurts me so she does those under her breath woofs or growls. i dont always make it in time but shes getting better wen i hold her at least. i dont think she will ever get over her anxeity but we love her with or without it. my husband and mother in law r less tolerant about it bc they work from home and she can b very distracting with her craziness. my mother in law will put her in her kennel if she doesnt listen my husband will put her outside. im the only one who does the holding thing. my husband thinks me coming into her life has helped. ive worked with dogs like her so i kno saying "go in ur kennel" doesnt help. i dont want to tell my mother in law wat to do but at the same time she does live podcasts and having a dog going nuts in the background can make it difficult and its hard but not impossible. its y i try to get to the dog first sometimes ill even say "wanna go outside" before the truck arrives that way shes outside and just runs back and forth woofing trying to see the truck. shelter dogs come in all forms and shes not the worst ive seen. i may not have been there wen my husband adopted her but he told me the story of wen he first got her and it was bad she spent her time in the office instead of with other dogs cuz she was scared. she wasnt ready to b adopted but they let him adopt her anyways bc the shelter had a good gut feeling about my husband and his family. wen they came to check on her a week later brandy got very protective and thats wen they realized their gut feeling was right brandy was where she belonged. a few months later i met my now husband a week after that he brought me to his house and the rest is history. im just happy brandy wasnt like the worst ive seen. wen i worked at a shelter they had me rehab a dog that was so scared that the only way shed eat is if it was from my hand, only way shed drink water is if i was holding the bowl. i tried everything even brought in a professional but she bit them and snarled at them then hid behind me. i was 16 at the time and both me, the shelter and the professional agreed she would never get adopted so i did. she never ate from my hands again or drank while i held the bowl it was the enviornment that scared her however she was only ok at home anywhere else she went back to the horrified dog i knew from the shelter. unfortunately she only lasted 4 years and died at the age of 5 bc we had no idea she had cancer since going to the vet was a chore on its own the vet never could do a full check up on her and bc of that we were unsure if we should sedate her or not so we had no idea until she started letting strangers pet her which was weird so i brought her to the vet and there was no struggle which is wen we knew something was wrong she had stomach and lung cancer along with severe arthritis at the age of 5. naturally i was destroyed wen i found out my other dog had nasal cancer wen he was 14 lived 3 years with it died in his sleep at 17 4 years ago. having 2 dogs dying from cancer is hard its like having a flashback. spiffy died 10 years ago but still dogs getting cancer is rough i hope brandy never goes thru it
