We all love our pets. Humans have kept domesticated animals for thousands of years now and they provide us with companionship and protection while fulfilling our desire to nurture.
But having pets comes with great responsibility. To the animal obviously - this creature now relies on you for its quality of life and you need to ensure its physical and emotional needs are met. And to other people too - you should be able to look after your animal and keep it healthy and happy in such a way that doesn't encroach on the lives of others.
Simple really, isn't it? Well, not to everyone. This list, compiled by the good folks here at Bored Panda, is a catalog of shame, showing the times when pet owners were jerks not only to their poor animals but to society at large. From the liberal dumpings of excrement to just flat-out animal neglect, these people don't deserve to be let anywhere near an animal again, and makes you wonder if perhaps it was time people had to get a license to have a pet.

My Neighbour Was Evicted And Left The Family Cat. Looks Like I Have A New Cat
Way too many people leave their pets behind when they move. I will never understand it!
At the very least, they could make alternate arrangements for the pet (foster care, friends), a being who has given them unconditional love and affection.

Having a pet is a commitment, we'll be together through good or bad. If you having a problem and can't take them with you, the least you could do is find them another family that will love them. Not leaving them behind like this! They are a living creature with the most sincere feeling and gullible personality, please don't hurt them. Please don't get a pet if you are not ready to commit to them.
Another situation where I have sympathy for everyone, they were evicted - do they even have a home to take an animal to? Also, when things are chaotic cats have a tendency of disappearing
Yeah but don’t abandon the poor thing, there are plenty of animal shelters
Load More Replies... If someone is being evicted, clearly they have a lot of s**t going on. I'm not excusing leaving a cat behind, but you have no idea about their situation.
But you take on an animal for OST's entire life,.. it can't survive on its own. You need to be responsible to them whatever you have going on!

F**k people. I like my cat more than most humans hand down. I would forget a roommate b4 my little beast.
I say the same thing, we like our cats more than a lot of people we know. But then again the cats are nicer than most people we know! Who could NOT love these little angels? SaphiraVio...a638c0.jpg 
Wtf that poor cat only one good thing came out of that now he don’t have douchebag owners anymore
Thank you for taking in that cat, there should be more people like you in the world it would be a much better place.
Wtf that poor cat only one good reason came out of that now you don’t have a douchebag owner
this happened to a friendly black and white kitty just a few houses down-i named her Marshmallow because the spot on her chest and belly streak looks like she got into that spreadable creme :)
Wait... you named the cat photo'd above Marshmallow? Looks more like a s'more after I'm done 'toasting' the marshmallow. (Oh come on. blowing it out's the best part.)

When I was a kid the neighbors moved and left their orange cat. It came to our house and was very ill and wouldn't eat or drink. My parents took it to the vet but it had to be put down because it had a very bad case of pneumonia. Another orange cat came to our house a few days later and then a man knocked on our door. It turns out the neighbors who abandoned both cats didn't own both of them. They were supposed to be watching the second one for someone else. We gave the cat back and were paid for taking care of it.
I do not understand people who leave their pets behind. It is a myth that cats are self sufficient. Abandoned cats die cruel, horrible deaths slowly starving and succumbing to the elements, neglect, and/or predators.
Yep, this happened to me, too. But you can't have just one, they get lonely so had to adopt a companion for it and now there's two..... and I don't even like cats
When I was a teenager, we moved from Georgia to Tennessee and I wasn't allowed to take my cat because my mom was worried she'd try to eat her pet squirrel, even though the squirrel was in a cage and I was planning to put my cat in a carrier. And I had the cat a lot longer than she had that squirrel.
Should have hid the cat in your shirt. F**k the squirrel.

There is a special subbasement in the bowels of Hell for those who abandon their companion animals. I don't use the term "pets", it does not describe our relationship with our felines. Who could abandon these little angels? SaphiraVio...8e559e.jpg 
If only there were a way to hunt this person down and levy a hefty fine on him for abandonment. Bless you for taking this cat into your home.
Had a neighbor who left two cats behind in winter! We now have had Bellatrix (Bella) and Narcissa (Cissy) for a few years!! My Daughters are Huge Harry Potter fans!!
Oh f**k them. That cat relied on them those dirty assfaced m***********s
Aw you took the kitty I. I hope the family who left him/her have very large rodents in their new place and hissing cockroaches 🤬
The house I live in now actually had a cat that used to come by all the time and we found out it’s because the family there before abandoned it and it was coming back because it thought that was still it’s home. I have 3 dogs and couldn’t take it but he lives my my neighbour now :(
Thank you for your kindness. Hope karma catches up with those deadbeats.
They didn't care to pay the rent, and they didn't care to take their cat. Both you and cat are better off without them. Thank you for caring.
I had a beautiful long haired white cat with orange ears and tail show up last winter, just a sack of bones. She is gorgeous now. The low life dirt bags behind me were evicted after 6 months not paying rent, but having plenty of money for all kinds of drugs the parents did with their kids. So now I have a new cat, and she is ever so grateful.
A friend who cleaned houses for landlords at end-of-tenancies found two guinea pigs running around the house with no food or water :(
This happens all the time. Having worked for an animal charity picking up unwanted cats was just routine and of course being very territorial getting back to their original home seems normal to them, even if the owners take them with them.At least, if they can get outside they can and do look after themselves to a point but this causes real problems especially if un-neutered, like so many are, and feral colonies appear, a different ball game!
What a beautiful cat! It's just as well they did leave him, he's obviously better off with you.
Eviction can be absolutely heartless and leave families with few options. Read the book "Evicted" by Matthew Desmond; it will open your eyes. Of course we don't know what exactly happened here but the family could have had everything dumped out on the curb. Eviction can be terrifying.
We inherited a cat from the previous owners of a house. How can someone just leave their pet? smh
Back in the 90s but it was the neighbors next door that left the cat. We got to keep her and named her monycat. Lived 20 but she could have been older
the same way I got my first cat. sorry to say she is dead. but she was an amazing cat while she lived
People like that suck s**t bigtime. I had young 20 something neighbours who inherited their home from an Uncle that died. No mortgage yet they couldn't keep up with the bills. Just bills ONLY. They took off and left 3 cats and 2 dogs behind. Just up and left. Thankfully all of them got new homes. Pretty sad when a young couple can't even be financially responsible.....and and they had 2 toddlers too. I'm surprised they didn't leave them behind as well. I hate millenials.
I had a neighbor who did this. They had the cat for about 4 years. They did take the kids and dog.
Cat are notorious for running away on moving day. So much so that you are recommended to confine them to the house for several days before, just so you know where they are. If the family was evicted, they might not have had that option.
Bored Panda spoke to Tinsley Dahl from the Alliance for Responsible Pet Ownership, who kindly gave us some important points to remember before taking the big decision of getting a pet. It's not a responsibility to take lightly!
"Before you start meeting adorable puppy eyes or pretty kitten paws that you just cannot refuse, take some time to sit down with your family and consider your overall schedule and energy level," she said. "How long will you be gone during an average day? What’s your activity level? Do you spend weekends away from home? Do you take daily walks or do outdoor activities currently?"
"Sometimes life can be unpredictable, and if you’re planning any big lifestyle changes, these can be an important consideration. Planning on getting married or starting a family soon? Socialization will be key for your pet to ensure that your best buddy is welcoming of new family members. For dogs, obedience training and proper activity can be important to curb undesirable behaviors. Big changes can be very stressful for humans, and pets under duress can experience behavior and health changes due to stressful environmental changes."
More Evil Than Trashy, But Still Applies...
I hate people most of the time, specially when an animal gives them unconditional love and they still treat them bad.
This Is Honestly Sad
This is too much for me, how anyone could do that is beyond me, bastards!
"Are you prepared to make a long-term commitment? It’s important when adopting a new pet to consider not only what having a pet entails during the fun puppy or kitten stage, but also if you’re prepared to grow with your pet. Cats and some small breed dogs can live up to 20 years! It’s imperative to consider how the needs of your new pet may change over time, and what may be required in the way of health care or other needs."
"Has your family researched what vetting costs over the lifetime of a dog or cat? In addition to basics like pet food, toys, treats, and other fun accessories for your pooch or kitty, your playful pooch or kitty will need regular checkups and dental cleanings in order to look and feel his very best for a lifetime of fun. In addition to an annual exam, your furry friend will require vaccines and potentially tests and medications from time to time. Active doggies may encounter everyday injuries just like humans. Many online resources exist that estimate the cost of veterinary care over a pet’s lifetime. Some owners choose to provide pet insurance to assist when the unexpected does occur. Pet insurance provides a range of coverage and prices from emergency only to full annual exam and wellness benefits. Friends, family, and neighbors can be a great resource to find a veterinarian. If adopting from a rescue organization, ask the rescue for a list of great vets in the area!"

For Years, Vegan Blogger Sonia Sae Has Been Allegedly Raising Her Pet Fox Jumanji On A Vegan Diet Because She Thinks That All Species Are Equals
Sae has already admitted that Jumanji is half blind, suffers from spontaneous convulsions and a severe skin condition. However, she refuses to believe that this is because of what do foxes eat. “They use the word ‘abuse’ to describe the act of feeding [it] food that no animal had to die for. Despite the obvious oxymoron, any other non-vegan alternative DOES involve abuse by default,” she said in a Facebook post.
Typical brainless c**t who wants attention, i'm a very strict and hard-line vegan but my dogs and cats ARE NOT.
"Poodle or Maltipoo? Siamese or Domestic Short Hair? Deciding what breed of dog or cat may be the best fit for your family can be a fun learning experience. There is no shortage of kennel clubs or online resources regarding each breed."
"While breed is often a personal preference, it’s important to take into account the general temperament of each breed. Mixed breed dogs often inherit a combination of each breed trait and can vary in both appearance and temperament. Many rescues specialize in Purebred dogs. Similarly, purebred dogs can often be found in local shelters through no fault of their own. One of the benefits of mixed breed dogs is that because they are genetically more diverse, they are less likely to inherit genetic defects that can cause health problems."
These are just a few things to take into account before getting a pet, unfortunately many people rush into the decision and find themselves overwhelmed. For more information about responsible pet ownership as well as the possibility to adopt if you do think you are ready, check out ARPO's Facebook page here.

One of the first lists I didn't enjoy on BP. It just made me feel sad and angry at the human race.
I don't get triggered by much. But, boy did this list get me triggered. Every one of those morons should not be allowed to have a pet. Ever.
I'm not even going to read this because animal cruelty in any form is just so utterly depressing. The punishment for those caught abusing animals is FAR to lenient in most countries.
My misanthropy has grown tenfold from this article, i really do hate most humans.
Me too! I've had taken cats or dogs from the local SPCA and cherished my 4 legged friends to the last breath. My best friends have always been the 4 legged type. Love all animal life, except some of the human verity. The only times I was disappointed with my little friends was when they died. My husband and myself have cried so much each time we lost one of our 4 legged babies. Can't understand such abjecte behavior

I don’t understand these people. YOU DON’T HAVE TO GET A PET! No one is forcing you to adopt an animal! If you can’t take adequate care of yourself then you should not have a pet (or a child for that matter). Pets are not accessories. They also require a proper diet to be healthy—not vegan. Pets are a commitment, if you are too unstable to take care of an animal for the length of their life then DON’T GET ONE. Pets love their owners, they aren’t trash or furniture to discard when you change apartments. These are living, breathing, caring creatures... please treat them that way. **I will get off my soapbox now**
I could not continue. We need another level of appreciation for animals, and we need laws that treat the abuse of animals similar to the abuse of humans.
I don't know why you have so many downvotes, you're totally right!

I fail to understand why such harmful photos are here. It wouldn't be so bad if the contributors had made some effort to help end this cruelty. It's almost like " look at this bad person, bad dog owner," etc. How about telling HOW you fixed the cruel situation?
someone should do something... at least call the ASPCA if you see a situation might be off
Friends I know have two Border Collies. Working breed with high needs. My friends bought them as cute puppies (Littermate Syndrome) trained them for a bit then gave up. Locked the dogs in a “run” (it’s not.. it’s a cage) and they don’t get let out “because they run away and won’t come back for hours” I said probably because you didn’t train them... what about walking them. But they cant walk the dogs “because they jump up” MAYBE BECAUSE THEY HAVE S**T TON ENERGY AND NO TRAINING? Their Dad sometimes would run them in the moring but he was going away for 7 months. So I begged them to let me walk them. Long story short I trained the dogs to walk nicely, not to jump up and to sit and come. I got told not to come back when I finally snapped. The dogs had no water again.. the bowl leaked so I smashed it and got a new one from laying around, s**t all over, didn’t care why Scout was STILL sick (from the s**t everywhere) and Gracie STILL had a tick I told them about 4 days ago. Been 3 months.
This is why I've lost 'friends' and distrust people the way I do. One friend was going to flush her foster kittens down the toilet because they kept mewing; one friend put her guinea pig in a coffee container and threw him in the trash. Same friend took her indoor / outdoor cat to the 'humane society ' and had her put down cuz she had fleas. Adopted a cat cuz my coworker was having him put down. The next day she got 2 kittens. Adopted another cat who was poisoned by her owner. My brother beat his puppy and tethered him an acre away from the house cuz he peed. One of my other relatives kicked her dog so hard his skull caved in. I love animals unconditionally. People... nope.
I am SO sorry you've had to endure these "people" . Me, ALL animals over people. Some humans don't deserve the title.

It's so easy: Our pets are family members. Treat them like that. They don't choose to live with you, so treat them with the respect they deserve. That means don't dress them for YOUR fun, don't colour them, but feed them to their needs, give them medical care and love. Just let them be as natural as possible.
Most of these pics will haunt my brain for months. It's no secret this horrible stuff is going on. My imagination is as close as I need to get to it. Choose a no-kill shelter and help support it. Volunteer in whatever capacity you're physically able to do.
picking this was a bad idea. animals r my favourite thing in the world, so this is just making me feel like i have a pit in my stomach
My god I just can't with people. This breaks my heart. I'm the proud momma of two rescues (a dog and a cat) A senior I got when she was a puppy and a rescue senior dog. I don't understand how people can do this to an animal that loves them unconditionally. I definitely want to beat some asses after this post.
So I pay a buttload of money to a cat sitter to come stay at my home and take care of my cats for when I'm on vacation/business trip. I make sure to FaceTime the sitter a few times a day and pray hard to find them as healthy as I left them every time and still feel guilty af because I left them for a business trip or a well deserved holiday. So long story short I feel guilty for leaving my cats at home with a sitter that's a full on cat lady which they love so much and how do these people live with themselves is beyond me.
It breaks my heart that there are so many of these. I couldn't get past the first 3
Sorry BP but this article is a nope from me, too much awfulness in one list
And those degenerates are walking among us unsupervised... Can we gather them up and put them to community service? To get at least some purpose from their useless existence.
That's why I hate the so called "dog lovers" because most of those people are very irresponsible dumb or abuse their pets as soon they become too much work
Well I started my day in a good mood, now I just want to take someone's head off!
I was shocked by how many people decided to get rid of their previous pet when they got a new one. If they do this to animals, I can only imagine how they must treat the people in their lives...
My heart is broken. So much sadness and abuse. No animal deserves these horrible people.
I don't own any animals of any kind because I'm physically and financially incapable of taking good care of them. It makes me so very ANGRY when I see people mistreating their animals, especially those vile, nasty, horrendous jerks who just dump one animal in favor of another! And the woman who duct-taped her dog's mouth shut---when that came out in the news a couple years ago, it was strongly suggested that 'someone' tightly wrap her mouth, and make sure to get a lot of hair into the duct tape, let her live a few days with it on, then yank it all off, hair and all, in one fell swoop. Doubt she'd ever do it to an animal again if she experienced that.
Question is, did the people who took the picture actually rescued the poor things? People nowadays would rather use the knife in front of them rather than the axe beside them
I wanted to see, from the mailer I get from BP and saw that DISGUSTING man using the public drinking fountain to wash his dogs a**s. I would have kicked that man so hard he wouldn't have gotten up if that was my park! Some of these other posts above were just a revolting. SOME humans are the true scourge of the earth!
This list upset me, but it is true to life and necessary. People can be complete and total imbeciles with a thick icing of evil.
Bored Panda: STOP POSTING THIS B******T. DO YOU THINK WE WANT TO SEE IT?!!! JFC
People suck. I came out of Costco one day and the car next to mine had a large mixed breed inside. It was 85 degrees and the windows were barely cracked. The doors were locked and I couldn't get in. The dog is looking at me like "please help me.". I thought maybe the owners would be right back so I loaded up my car. Nope. So I called Animal Control. They said they were at least 30 minutes out. I waited around for like 20 more minutes and no one came out. I really wanted to break the windows out of the car at this point (but did not want to be arrested). I double-checked with animal control and they were almost there. I finally left before all my stuff melted. I still regret not breaking the windows out. The really weird thing is that so many people passed by and saw the dog and just kept walking. SMH.
We rescue Australian Shepherds, and occasionally other breeds, for over 20 years now. None of this is news to me. There are wonderful people who love and responsibly care for their pets. Trust me, they outnumber the jerks. Hold on to that.
I think it sould be mandatory to have a license to have a pet. And to get it you have to take a 6 month course, take the animal (dogs) to obedience training, and have it renewed every 2 years.
This was awful. I go to bored panda for wholesome fun content not animal abuse. Sad panda.
It is quite common people in UK keep dogs in houses and let them go out only on concrete backyard. My neighbour used to have two dogs. Kept them in cage while he was working for more then half day. They were barking and howling all the time. When ever we warned him, he just declined everything. It escalated during the Christmas when he left two caged dogs in empty house and left for more then two days. We called police, but they didnt care and we reported him to council. Then one day after 3/4 of year barking stopped. Then one day we heard sad howling again. He came to say, that he "got rid of the dogs" and bought a new puppy wich will not be laud. He also said that he got rid of the barking dogs in November an we are insane. He told all neighbours around street, that we hate dogs. I have never seen him taking any dog for a walk. His backyard is full of ... Where he keeps another bunnies, guineapigs and I do not know what else in cages
I have heard him to saying that he is buying them for his kids and stright awai he asked what will be the next one. He is on benefits now, so doesnt need to go out often, but when ever he goes. Dog barks and howl. It is not my only experience. Many people have dogs and treat them as piece of furniture. Do not play and go out with it and it gets frustrated. Another my colleague shared how happy she is because she got pregnant and that is mean no cleaning poos from backyard for atl least year. Those are really normal UK people :-\

I learned yesterday that the grandson of my mother's caregiver had abandoned their cat. After seeing these horrible images, I could only think of the torment and the confusion the young cat is going through and I let it be known that I would gladly accept the cat into our family. The grandmother was gleeful, giggling with joy that the cat had a home with a loving family waiting.
This is too depressing. I couldn't read it any more after about the first six or so.
Some of these are stupid. Vegetable based dyes exist and are not inhumane or abusive, and some dogs get excited when they get dyed - most don't give a c**p. It isn't something I would do to my pet on a normal or regular basis and I have not done it before. I would possibly consider it as part of a Halloween costume though.
Just sharing... My neighbourhood always been a placed for person to dump their cats...and usually these cats will come to my house for shelter and food...my father is a cat lover but my mom doesn't...however she doesn't hate them... My siblings really love cats... Ok..the real problem is..we are not afford to take care of them... But in the same time they don't have any place to go... So, yeah we try our best to feed them, treat them when they sick...I remember there's once we don't eat for dinner since the rice left is just enough for the cats... Somehow..I have been thinking..our family adopt the cats by no choice..my neighbours seen us that we really love cats but they don't know...this is the only choice we have.. (my neighbour hates animal).. So.. What I want to say is..for the person who think that they can't afford/take care of their pets..please don't dump them...or please 'dump' them properly..(by putting them at the shelter).. Please use that damn brain..seriously..
If you love an animal enough that you want them as a pet, you should also love them enough to learn how to properly care for them. If you can't be bothered to learn or don't care about how to properly care for them, you should never consider getting a pet of any kind. Your happiness might be important. But they are a living being who has every bit the right to happiness you do. If you can't be bothered then just don't.
I totally cannot deal with these kind of lists, it's just so heartbreakingly sad! My man's freaking out because I read some of them out to him! He gets so angry with things like this as well! Yeah, I really don't like these sad ones, makes me too angry and sad 😡😢

Nothing about this post is enjoyable, after reading the first three I stopped. We see/hear about/witness tragedy everyday, I don't need to see it on an entertainment site.
This was triggering. Animal abusers deserve immediate execution once proven. No questions
I feel bad up voting such horrible things. Some of these are so sad.
I had to stop after the first few. Too disgusting and horrifying. The people who do these kinds of things won't care, and the rest of us know better.
I already knew that humans treat other humans like trash. but now humans treat animals like trash. are we going to treat everything like trash??!?!?!!?!!!!!!
This whole list made me sad and angry and now I hate people. Waaaaaaaa!!!!
So I follow my local shelters facebook. and half their stuff is about abanded animals. and I really wanna go down and adopt them. but can't because roommate dont want animals
Why posting a list like this? We all know animal abuse and cruelty happen, this list makes me feel nothing but nauseous, angry and sad... I can't even read this, knowing that these crimes are not punished (severely) enough.
I almost didn't look at this posting. Now I wish I didn't. People suck!!
Worse is done to kids every day behind closed doors. Parenting is not a right, it is a privilege.
I made it through 5 and I couldn't anymore.... people are such.....terrible beings. I can't imagine not having my four babies with me and I could NEVER just leave them... it breaks my heart that people are allowed to just dispose of animals like they are nothing more than a piece of trash!!!! If you dont consider an animal a part of the family (even a working animal) you shouldn't have one...just spare its feelings and dont be a selfish k**b.

Why did you get down voted so much? Same applies for the others furthest down on the list of comments. Unfortunately, featured "people" are the norm and I don't get it why others feel so offended for your truthful comments. I think heavier sanctions for all kinds of obvious things(not just animal treatment related) should become a thing, because apparently people are too dumb and therefore selfish and cruel to come up with what proper behaviour should look like themselves.
Load More Replies... we(my girl and i) would treat and love an animal more than we would a human. most people are s**t when it comes to pets.
WTF wrong with these people, if you know you are that lazy af, shouldn't have any pets at all. They should forever banned them for life. Disgusting human being!!! Kinda sad for these animals but also glad that these pet are no longer have these stupid owner and find someone who's truly love them and not dump them like a trash. smfh!!
Hi Kesyra, life isn't just funny stuff unfortunately. These articles are here for a reason. Bad things happen and we all have to do something about it rather than close our eyes and pretend it's all fluffy and wonderful
Load More Replies... One of the first lists I didn't enjoy on BP. It just made me feel sad and angry at the human race.
I don't get triggered by much. But, boy did this list get me triggered. Every one of those morons should not be allowed to have a pet. Ever.
I'm not even going to read this because animal cruelty in any form is just so utterly depressing. The punishment for those caught abusing animals is FAR to lenient in most countries.
My misanthropy has grown tenfold from this article, i really do hate most humans.
Me too! I've had taken cats or dogs from the local SPCA and cherished my 4 legged friends to the last breath. My best friends have always been the 4 legged type. Love all animal life, except some of the human verity. The only times I was disappointed with my little friends was when they died. My husband and myself have cried so much each time we lost one of our 4 legged babies. Can't understand such abjecte behavior
Load More Replies... I don’t understand these people. YOU DON’T HAVE TO GET A PET! No one is forcing you to adopt an animal! If you can’t take adequate care of yourself then you should not have a pet (or a child for that matter). Pets are not accessories. They also require a proper diet to be healthy—not vegan. Pets are a commitment, if you are too unstable to take care of an animal for the length of their life then DON’T GET ONE. Pets love their owners, they aren’t trash or furniture to discard when you change apartments. These are living, breathing, caring creatures... please treat them that way. **I will get off my soapbox now**
I could not continue. We need another level of appreciation for animals, and we need laws that treat the abuse of animals similar to the abuse of humans.
I don't know why you have so many downvotes, you're totally right!
Load More Replies... I fail to understand why such harmful photos are here. It wouldn't be so bad if the contributors had made some effort to help end this cruelty. It's almost like " look at this bad person, bad dog owner," etc. How about telling HOW you fixed the cruel situation?
someone should do something... at least call the ASPCA if you see a situation might be off
Friends I know have two Border Collies. Working breed with high needs. My friends bought them as cute puppies (Littermate Syndrome) trained them for a bit then gave up. Locked the dogs in a “run” (it’s not.. it’s a cage) and they don’t get let out “because they run away and won’t come back for hours” I said probably because you didn’t train them... what about walking them. But they cant walk the dogs “because they jump up” MAYBE BECAUSE THEY HAVE S**T TON ENERGY AND NO TRAINING? Their Dad sometimes would run them in the moring but he was going away for 7 months. So I begged them to let me walk them. Long story short I trained the dogs to walk nicely, not to jump up and to sit and come. I got told not to come back when I finally snapped. The dogs had no water again.. the bowl leaked so I smashed it and got a new one from laying around, s**t all over, didn’t care why Scout was STILL sick (from the s**t everywhere) and Gracie STILL had a tick I told them about 4 days ago. Been 3 months.
This is why I've lost 'friends' and distrust people the way I do. One friend was going to flush her foster kittens down the toilet because they kept mewing; one friend put her guinea pig in a coffee container and threw him in the trash. Same friend took her indoor / outdoor cat to the 'humane society ' and had her put down cuz she had fleas. Adopted a cat cuz my coworker was having him put down. The next day she got 2 kittens. Adopted another cat who was poisoned by her owner. My brother beat his puppy and tethered him an acre away from the house cuz he peed. One of my other relatives kicked her dog so hard his skull caved in. I love animals unconditionally. People... nope.
I am SO sorry you've had to endure these "people" . Me, ALL animals over people. Some humans don't deserve the title.
Load More Replies... It's so easy: Our pets are family members. Treat them like that. They don't choose to live with you, so treat them with the respect they deserve. That means don't dress them for YOUR fun, don't colour them, but feed them to their needs, give them medical care and love. Just let them be as natural as possible.
Most of these pics will haunt my brain for months. It's no secret this horrible stuff is going on. My imagination is as close as I need to get to it. Choose a no-kill shelter and help support it. Volunteer in whatever capacity you're physically able to do.
picking this was a bad idea. animals r my favourite thing in the world, so this is just making me feel like i have a pit in my stomach
My god I just can't with people. This breaks my heart. I'm the proud momma of two rescues (a dog and a cat) A senior I got when she was a puppy and a rescue senior dog. I don't understand how people can do this to an animal that loves them unconditionally. I definitely want to beat some asses after this post.
So I pay a buttload of money to a cat sitter to come stay at my home and take care of my cats for when I'm on vacation/business trip. I make sure to FaceTime the sitter a few times a day and pray hard to find them as healthy as I left them every time and still feel guilty af because I left them for a business trip or a well deserved holiday. So long story short I feel guilty for leaving my cats at home with a sitter that's a full on cat lady which they love so much and how do these people live with themselves is beyond me.
It breaks my heart that there are so many of these. I couldn't get past the first 3
Sorry BP but this article is a nope from me, too much awfulness in one list
And those degenerates are walking among us unsupervised... Can we gather them up and put them to community service? To get at least some purpose from their useless existence.
That's why I hate the so called "dog lovers" because most of those people are very irresponsible dumb or abuse their pets as soon they become too much work
Well I started my day in a good mood, now I just want to take someone's head off!
I was shocked by how many people decided to get rid of their previous pet when they got a new one. If they do this to animals, I can only imagine how they must treat the people in their lives...
My heart is broken. So much sadness and abuse. No animal deserves these horrible people.
I don't own any animals of any kind because I'm physically and financially incapable of taking good care of them. It makes me so very ANGRY when I see people mistreating their animals, especially those vile, nasty, horrendous jerks who just dump one animal in favor of another! And the woman who duct-taped her dog's mouth shut---when that came out in the news a couple years ago, it was strongly suggested that 'someone' tightly wrap her mouth, and make sure to get a lot of hair into the duct tape, let her live a few days with it on, then yank it all off, hair and all, in one fell swoop. Doubt she'd ever do it to an animal again if she experienced that.
Question is, did the people who took the picture actually rescued the poor things? People nowadays would rather use the knife in front of them rather than the axe beside them
I wanted to see, from the mailer I get from BP and saw that DISGUSTING man using the public drinking fountain to wash his dogs a**s. I would have kicked that man so hard he wouldn't have gotten up if that was my park! Some of these other posts above were just a revolting. SOME humans are the true scourge of the earth!
This list upset me, but it is true to life and necessary. People can be complete and total imbeciles with a thick icing of evil.
Bored Panda: STOP POSTING THIS B******T. DO YOU THINK WE WANT TO SEE IT?!!! JFC
People suck. I came out of Costco one day and the car next to mine had a large mixed breed inside. It was 85 degrees and the windows were barely cracked. The doors were locked and I couldn't get in. The dog is looking at me like "please help me.". I thought maybe the owners would be right back so I loaded up my car. Nope. So I called Animal Control. They said they were at least 30 minutes out. I waited around for like 20 more minutes and no one came out. I really wanted to break the windows out of the car at this point (but did not want to be arrested). I double-checked with animal control and they were almost there. I finally left before all my stuff melted. I still regret not breaking the windows out. The really weird thing is that so many people passed by and saw the dog and just kept walking. SMH.
We rescue Australian Shepherds, and occasionally other breeds, for over 20 years now. None of this is news to me. There are wonderful people who love and responsibly care for their pets. Trust me, they outnumber the jerks. Hold on to that.
I think it sould be mandatory to have a license to have a pet. And to get it you have to take a 6 month course, take the animal (dogs) to obedience training, and have it renewed every 2 years.
This was awful. I go to bored panda for wholesome fun content not animal abuse. Sad panda.
It is quite common people in UK keep dogs in houses and let them go out only on concrete backyard. My neighbour used to have two dogs. Kept them in cage while he was working for more then half day. They were barking and howling all the time. When ever we warned him, he just declined everything. It escalated during the Christmas when he left two caged dogs in empty house and left for more then two days. We called police, but they didnt care and we reported him to council. Then one day after 3/4 of year barking stopped. Then one day we heard sad howling again. He came to say, that he "got rid of the dogs" and bought a new puppy wich will not be laud. He also said that he got rid of the barking dogs in November an we are insane. He told all neighbours around street, that we hate dogs. I have never seen him taking any dog for a walk. His backyard is full of ... Where he keeps another bunnies, guineapigs and I do not know what else in cages
I have heard him to saying that he is buying them for his kids and stright awai he asked what will be the next one. He is on benefits now, so doesnt need to go out often, but when ever he goes. Dog barks and howl. It is not my only experience. Many people have dogs and treat them as piece of furniture. Do not play and go out with it and it gets frustrated. Another my colleague shared how happy she is because she got pregnant and that is mean no cleaning poos from backyard for atl least year. Those are really normal UK people :-\
Load More Replies... What kind of an entrtainment thread is that? I came to BP to bite time and relax not watch things like this. Stopped watching after 5th case. Can you please put trigger warnings before you post things like that? And how can you think anyone enjoys watching animals suffer?
#8 was the farthest I could go. I curse everyone who we got to know about here and a number other a**holes living around us for their inconsiderate and inhumane lifestyle! Sending immeasurable love to all the innocent angels around the world suffering for no reason XOXO.. May Allah be with them.
I feel so sad and so hopeless for humanity rn. We don't deserve the love of animals. We are cruel, vile people. So, so sad... :( My soul broke a million times
I think James caunt needs to changed his second name lol as I read it as jame cu...
Where is a global virus that causes 90% sterility in humans when you need one?
Kids starving, orphans begging for love in third world countries and western countries as well, human sex trafficking, modern day slavery and THIS is the list that triggers all of you. Get your priorities straight people. Animal cruelty is awful, but let’s try to fix human cruelty first.
I learned yesterday that the grandson of my mother's caregiver had abandoned their cat. After seeing these horrible images, I could only think of the torment and the confusion the young cat is going through and I let it be known that I would gladly accept the cat into our family. The grandmother was gleeful, giggling with joy that the cat had a home with a loving family waiting.
This is too depressing. I couldn't read it any more after about the first six or so.
Some of these are stupid. Vegetable based dyes exist and are not inhumane or abusive, and some dogs get excited when they get dyed - most don't give a c**p. It isn't something I would do to my pet on a normal or regular basis and I have not done it before. I would possibly consider it as part of a Halloween costume though.
Just sharing... My neighbourhood always been a placed for person to dump their cats...and usually these cats will come to my house for shelter and food...my father is a cat lover but my mom doesn't...however she doesn't hate them... My siblings really love cats... Ok..the real problem is..we are not afford to take care of them... But in the same time they don't have any place to go... So, yeah we try our best to feed them, treat them when they sick...I remember there's once we don't eat for dinner since the rice left is just enough for the cats... Somehow..I have been thinking..our family adopt the cats by no choice..my neighbours seen us that we really love cats but they don't know...this is the only choice we have.. (my neighbour hates animal).. So.. What I want to say is..for the person who think that they can't afford/take care of their pets..please don't dump them...or please 'dump' them properly..(by putting them at the shelter).. Please use that damn brain..seriously..
If you love an animal enough that you want them as a pet, you should also love them enough to learn how to properly care for them. If you can't be bothered to learn or don't care about how to properly care for them, you should never consider getting a pet of any kind. Your happiness might be important. But they are a living being who has every bit the right to happiness you do. If you can't be bothered then just don't.
I totally cannot deal with these kind of lists, it's just so heartbreakingly sad! My man's freaking out because I read some of them out to him! He gets so angry with things like this as well! Yeah, I really don't like these sad ones, makes me too angry and sad 😡😢
My inner child hopes such people will be reborn as cat litter and rawhide chew toys.
I could t even finish this post, I stopped after the kittens that hadn't had food or water for a week.
I just can't imagine how someone would be so cruel to animals... Karma will get them!!
Nothing about this post is enjoyable, after reading the first three I stopped. We see/hear about/witness tragedy everyday, I don't need to see it on an entertainment site.
This was triggering. Animal abusers deserve immediate execution once proven. No questions
I feel bad up voting such horrible things. Some of these are so sad.
I had to stop after the first few. Too disgusting and horrifying. The people who do these kinds of things won't care, and the rest of us know better.
I already knew that humans treat other humans like trash. but now humans treat animals like trash. are we going to treat everything like trash??!?!?!!?!!!!!!
This whole list made me sad and angry and now I hate people. Waaaaaaaa!!!!
So I follow my local shelters facebook. and half their stuff is about abanded animals. and I really wanna go down and adopt them. but can't because roommate dont want animals
Why posting a list like this? We all know animal abuse and cruelty happen, this list makes me feel nothing but nauseous, angry and sad... I can't even read this, knowing that these crimes are not punished (severely) enough.
I almost didn't look at this posting. Now I wish I didn't. People suck!!
Worse is done to kids every day behind closed doors. Parenting is not a right, it is a privilege.
I made it through 5 and I couldn't anymore.... people are such.....terrible beings. I can't imagine not having my four babies with me and I could NEVER just leave them... it breaks my heart that people are allowed to just dispose of animals like they are nothing more than a piece of trash!!!! If you dont consider an animal a part of the family (even a working animal) you shouldn't have one...just spare its feelings and dont be a selfish k**b.
whyyyyy are all of these comments downvoted??!?!!!!
