This was not right in any way. |
Okay, you're assuming cruelty to prove cruelty. "If he's cruel enough to do this to an animal"... tying it up is no worse than what most well-off dog lovers do, and people put their dogs in kennels when they go out of town and the dog gets even less room to move around (for days straight!) than this dog did for the time it was chained up.
"Done something to redeem himself"... I don't know, like make a statement about how people are completely indifferent about the world around them until they can get some sense of outrage from a faraway place they can blame without consequences? If he kept the dog you'd be slamming him for continuing to be cruel to it.
So he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. Great. And because of a bunch of misleading propaganda and sensationalist bullshit. So rather than campaigning to help feed strays (if nothing else then so he won't have any more work down that line), we're just going to attack the guy who's showing our problems rather than fixing them.
And again, I'll be the bad guy for taking a step back and looking at all the sources in addition to the ones by the groups that would bomb an orphanage to save a kitten. Oops, I'm sorry, I should have said 'carrying on with my bullshit politically charged crusading', like he 'let the dog escape' instead of 'releasing' it and 'fed a stray in a week more than it would have gotten in a month on the streets' instead of 'starving it brutally to satisfy his own sick, twisted desires for attention and masochism'... because I'm an asshole if I don't use the kind of double-speak that the White House creams over to make everyone but the holier-than-thou liars look like Satan.
If it wasn't for shit like this, I'd be spending time with the animal-rights groups and shelters, but thanks to people who would rather sign petitions than face their own condemnation I can't trust a bloody one of them.
