There was an asshat in Nanaimo abusing a dog that was removed from him 6-8 weeks back. Same asshat was spotted in Chilliwack I believe, with a new dog maybe 2 weeks later. It was described as a small brown dog, wonder if this is the poor animal? Thanks to the kind folks who saved this little guy, I hope he gets to have a happy, pain free life now.

I'm so happy to read that couple who found the pup, and others, are stepping up to ensure this pup's vet care and ongoing care will be covered.
People are awful.

Absolutely disgusting human behavior. He or she should have Donated the dog to the local shelter and find it a loving home .

A year ago when my mom died I tried to find a shelter to take her dog. I couldn’t find anywhere with capacity and ended up getting very lucky finding someone on Kijiji

Sorry for your loss .
A small effort goes along way . I’m sure the dog misses your mom but loves her new home. Thank you for taking the time to make sure the dog was taken care of.

I'd also like to know who the owner was. Name and shame them and ban them from being near animals for ever.

That's rather reactive. For all we know the owner is going out of their mind looking for this dog. It could have been lost, hit by a car and that person thought it was dead and put it in the trash can.

I agree with the sentiment, but to be fair, we don’t actually know the owner did this. The dog could have been hit by a car for example and the driver did that instead of finding the owner or driving it to a vet.
Let’s not jump on the owner when we don’t know the owner had anything to do with it. But whoever DID do it… I agree they need their punishment.

I mean it’s nice to think so but I doubt it. If they were just willing to throw their poor dog in a garbage can

Firm believer in punishment should fit the crime for animal cruelty. Savage. Poor pup

Or, you know, people can be upset about more than one thing at a time.

But we rarely hear shit about it, comparatively... and let's not fool ourselves here. You know the type that will lose sleep thinking about this puppy don't give a flying fuck about the atrocities outside their personal scope.
So many on here are calling to lynch the owner without even knowing the facts. This could be a lost dog that was hit by a car. But nope... people want to crucify the unknown owner.
Meanwhile...

I hope the SPCA and rcmp investigate this.

They have to investigate! Someone who does this could continue and even escalate. I hope resources are put towards it.

Owner should be in prison for life.
This person should not be in society.
I'm not joking.

In the article it suggests that the injuries could have been caused by being hit by a car. I wonder if the pup escaped and was hit, then the driver put the dog in the trash thinking they killed it? Not that it is much better of an explanation than outright abuse

u/3catsNcountin 1d ago
That makes no sense to me. Who would put a dog in the trash? They would just drive away… also picking an injured dog like that up that’s in pain… you’re gonna know it’s alive.

So sick! What is wrong with people these days? My heart hurts for any animal abused by anyone. They trust us to be kind & loving & this is how they end up? In a dumpster with broken bones. I hate (I rarely say hate) but I do hate the miserable excuses for humans that would throw a dog in a dumpster.
I hope they’re keeping a spot open for you in hell!

As the world becomes bleaker day by day and it looks like humanity really won't make it for very much longer, articles like this make me think ya know what? I'm ok with us being gone forever.

This is horrific and you have to put a detective on this case to find out who. Someone capable of this can escalate even more. This is not a safe person wandering around. I hope cops are seriously are investigating the culprit and will catch them.

For some reason I read this at first as "Doug Ford" found with broken bones...
I should probably take a break from the news.

Humans suck. Consider charity to animals instead:
Help Animals in Need https://spca.bc.ca/donate
The BC SPCA Lottery for Animals in Need https://lottery.spca.bc.ca
