     I just don't understand this nonsense, the cruelty of it. They were just puppies probably wanting to accompany him on a run, and he just throws them over the wall, not walks up to the wall reach over to drop them but literally backs away from the wall and throws them. I hope he gets time in jail and has to pay a fine or something, those puppies are lucky the older dogs didn't decide to tear into them. Angry

        The property owner says the pups will live but they did sustain some injuries.... the asshole needs a swift kick in the balls.

          I see these types of news every day and it's really sad to think there are so many bad people around the world.  I also read awesome stories of people that save animals like these or get an asshole like this.

           

          I have a special place in my heart for people that abuse animals, kids, or the elderly.  A place full of burning anger!

            "Tossing" is one way of putting it.  "PUPPY HEAVE-HO!" is another.  WTF is wrong with this guy?  Dude went out of his way to throw them against the side of the trailer.

              Like I said, a swift kick in the gonads... or somebody throw him over that wall and against the trailer. It's one thing if you dislike or even hate dogs, or fear them but a puppy!!!???? And to do something like this.... even if you do hate or fear them, it is unacceptable. I hope those puppies find a good home and get better.

                Thank you for the description of the video.  I'm not going to watch it.  When we found our dog, he was a puppy.  There was a couple in the middle of the street.  The woman was swinging a purse at him, and the man snatched him up by the collar and held him at arm's length.  First, we told the woman to get off of my wife's car, and then told the guy to drop the puppy.

                 

                We never found the owners.  I have to assume that they weren't that great either.  We reported this dog everywhere imaginable.  We walked him for hours on end looking for the owners.  In the end, I'm glad that nobody claimed him.  He's the best dog ever.  I can't for the life of me figure out why those people were treating him like that.
