However, since this coward and cruel man did that to an innocent Golden Retriever puppy and still did lied about it and not showing any sense of remorse, I think the Swedish Justice System has committed a crime. This man should deserve the following punishments:
1. His legs should be broken so that he will never be able to kick again.
2. His mouth should be smashed with a sledgehammer so that he will never be able to lie about his cruel acts again.
3. His balls should be crushed by a nut cracker so that he will never be able to produce another cruel person like him.
From now to the end of this cruel man's life, anyone who sees him, please do those three things to him. That will also teach other cruel people in the world think seven times before they try to follow his footstep.
The man's origin is absolutely irrelevant. Are any of you boneheads seriously suggesting that white people are never cruel to animals?
I have also seen many people just get freaked out by any dog. Especially children. Parents need to introduce dogs to children at a younger age so they don't freak out. Because when they freak out, the dog freaks out as well and may bark, sniff them, or jump on them (even though with no intention to hurt them). My dog is smart enough to be offer her leash and leave people alone, but when people get the dog's attention or kids do weird things, the dog takes notice.
A lot of people are just uneducated about dogs and assume the worst. Not all dogs are super aggressive and not all dogs are super tame. I have a hunting type dog and she is extremely aware and alert of weird/new things (but she doesn't hunt). She is very nice and I wouldn't say she wouldn't hurt a fly (because she does "hunt" the bugs in our apartment). :P
Anyways, a sad tale. I would be super pissed if someone kicked my dog and probably kick them back.
here´s a you tube link ( warning some of you might end up in tears after reading what this sick farker! did ) He should have been given 100 days in prison & the other inmates should be notified in advanced of what he´s in for . 100 days in prison should be plenty of time for him to receive a GOOD KICKING ! .
When media outlets embark on this type of censorship of the TRUTH they loose all credibility and become a gossip rag that has no serious respect. Again this is just a statement of TRUTH. Once your caught lying on one thing the citizens MUST assume the "news" media source will and does premeditatedly lie about other occurances.
This is exactly the reason the North Korean, previous Soviet Union, Syria, and other Big Brother state's "news media" s have no credibility of serious merit. Because they manipulate the facts.......of course the elite know whats best.....they do it for "the people".....bla,bla,bla
Proper news media report the facts and the truth. They are not so arrogant as to presume to know what is best for the people or what the people need to know. They simply report the facts and the truth. This social engineering by self-styled elites and self-ordained intellectuals is the height of arrogance and the province of fools.
