This Tragic Fucking Dog, My Piece Of Shit Neighbors

So I'm living in Montreal right now, at this spot with a backyard that looks like Slim Thug's...duct taped punching bags and shit...the unit whose balcony is directly across from me (we're connected at the base of two fire escapes, wtf). These are small balconies and the other one has this big poor shaggy black dog OUT IN THE POURING RAIN 24/7, BARKING AND CRYING CONSTANTLY, CRAMMED AT ALL TIMES INTO A TINY 3x5ft area on the metal-surfaced balcony, crowded by pieces of wood and garbage. The poor fucking dog is about to die and they just leave it out there rotting in a week-long rainstorm. I scream at the owners all hours of the night to take care of it...i microwave cheese in hotdog buns to give the dog (which goes totally silent when it sees me). To be honest, I don't even know why I made this thread, since i'm pretty much set on going next door and MAIMING motherfuckers with the TWO hammers the subletters left in my apt....holy shit i'm so mad right now...."ideas please"

This makes me so sa and so angry. Take the dog in (if you can) and then phone your animal society asap. These cunts need the law set on them. Pricks.

Rumpsy Pumpsy (Rumpie), Saturday, 20 May 2006 09:16 (nineteen years ago)

LeCoq, you call call the police at any hour! Call their non-emergency communications number. They'll track down the dog officer. I call them all the time about lost dogs. I seem to be a lost dog magnet.

steal the dog now
My brother did this. He took a dog that his neighbor across the alley left tied on a short lead day and night. He did it right in front of the guy, telling him to go ahead and call the police. The guy didn't—somewhere in his pea-brain he knew he'd been doing wrong by the dog. She (a beautiful rottie-dobie mix) remained my brother's pampered companion for the rest of her life.

LeCoq (LeCoq), Saturday, 20 May 2006 20:50 (nineteen years ago)

ASPCA are first obliged to only notify the owners that they've received an (anonymous) complaint. The owners probably won't care. Animal Liberation (or your equivalent) will actually go rescue the dog (semi-illegally) and give it a new home. Talk strategy with them. My wife once did this for a dog in Melbourne, and it made me as proud of her as anything ever has...

lf (lfam), Monday, 22 May 2006 17:13 (nineteen years ago)

The good news about this thread: you guys really love dogs and the vigilantes who save them. The bad news: you appear to hate human beings, even human beings whose identity and motives you know nothing about.

Do we still go round with a hammer if these are elderly people, gay people, Chinese people, the urban poor? Do we confer with them first, get their side of the story, or just lash out with lethal force? And how does it then feel living next door to them?

Two anecdotes: last week I came home to hear a scratching sound. It was the cat. Someone had trapped him in a dark room. When I let him out, I discovered another atrocity: a bell-shaped collar restrainer around his neck. "Whoever did this is a fucking sadist," I thought, and tried to pry it off, but my efforts only made the collar tighter. Later the cat's owner came home and explained to me that the cat had had its bollocks chopped off ("they live longer") and that the restrainer was to stop it licking the area. Suddenly everything looked very different.

Second anecdote: today I saw a student degree show at the Parsons communication department. One film was a series of vox pops taken on Union Square, New York, on the subject of eating dogs. Would you eat a dog? What do you think of people who eat dogs? Most people responded "While I wouldn't personally eat a dog, I realise that that's a cultural thing. Many people think it's gross to eat cows, for instance. So I wouldn't condemn people who eat dogs."

So, while I fully expect to be flamed for suggesting it, I really think Le Coq can only be called any sort of "saviour and lord" (and the contrast with the dehumanizing language used to describe the neighbours is somewhat unsettling) if he actually asked a few questions before brandishing a hammer in the direction of the human beings who live next door. They're animals too, you know.

I don't care if they're gay or poor - mistreatment of an animal is mistreatment. (and yeah, ESOJ OTM, if you couldn't figure that out without asking, please never lecture anyone on animals and humans again)

well i was a bit of a dick upthread i s'pose when i was calling le coq out. i always feel uncomfortable with excessive shows of bravado but maybe he really is a dog-saving hero.

danny invincible (michael w.), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 18:48 (nineteen years ago)

Momus would have had a far more salient argument, had he said "what if the neighbour was an elderly lady who has fallen ill, which is why the dog is left outside in the rain because the neighbour herself is lying half-unconcious in her bed/on the floor with a broken hip, and this is also why she is never answering the door. You should have just called the police out of concern, LC"

Thats all he had to say. And on that, I'dve agreed heartily now I think it over - hammers and shouting and bashing would not be right, were that to be the situation.

Thing is we don't know do we? I got the impression LC knew his neighbs were sketchy druggy types who needed an arse-booting. He gave that impression with photos and descriptons. Thats probably why people agreed and encouraged him. No one's been bashed up or played vigilante out of this anyway though, so really who cares.

The poor fucking dog is about to die and they just leave it out there rotting in a week-long rainstorm. I scream at the owners all hours of the night to take care of it...i microwave cheese in hotdog buns to give the dog (which goes totally silent when it sees me).

Interpretation--LeCoq has been feeding the dog for a while, he has been attempting to talk to the owners for a while, and they have left the dog outside for approximately a week.

Based upon this interpretation of his original post, seems perfectly reasonable to me for him to go off.

Honestly, this board has degenerated into Beavis and Butthead, except that they're not watching videos, they're commenting on real life situations in the real world unfolding in real time. And they can influence them, to the detriment of the people involved, then back off with statements like "Don't believe everything you read" and "That was just a figure of speech".

like murderinging (modestmickey), Thursday, 25 May 2006 05:51 (nineteen years ago)

Actually, I like dogs better than people.

I'd marry my dog if I could. But I already had her fixed.

Also she's approximately 60 in people years, and I'm not down with silver foxes who are actually closely related to foxes.

Punishment for crimes enacted against dogs should be meted as strictly Hammurabian x 7. An animal bred and raised to trust people; to be dependent on people; kept and abused (or neglected) in any willful or criminally negligent manner should force a Biblical wrath laid upon their owner's brow for the length in animal years of their punishment. Given that dog-life / people life ratio is appprox 7:1, each blow unto a dog should be repeated seven times or on seven of the owner's children.

Also: suggesting some illicit 'cognitive-dissonance' between the concept of animal-for-pet and animal-for-food (as upthread) is a bizarre and specious argument. It ignores the significance of socialization and the construction and conception of family.

My gran is the same. Pity she abused my father in the process. Her priorities were not really that great: first the bottle, then the dog and way down on the list my dad. Bitch. As a result I immediately am weary of people who put their dogs first. I know it's wrong, but given the past... Still, I'm extremely happy LeCoq defended that doggie. Man, that picture is just.... so extremely sad.

I expect he's locked on an iron balcony in the rain, fed a hotdog bun with cheese once a day. I wonder when the threat of force will become justified to fix his situation? Never, probably.

I woke up feelin' brand new, I jumped up feeling my highs and my lows... (papa n, Thursday, 8 June 2006 07:56 (nineteen years ago)

A little bird told me what happened to the dog:

"Here's what happened to the dog - the cops came and inspected the situation, threatened to fine the owners and call animal control, and promised to check up weekly that the dog was being taken care of. Immediately thereafter the neighbors - grudgingly or not, I don't really know - started treating the dog like a prince, walking it constantly (sometimes making a big show of it), and it's never been left out or heard howling since. The neighbors treat me as if nothing happened, as they probably think I'm totally insane. They likely resent me a little, maybe a lot, but their home smells a lot cleaner these days. I'm only subletting here for two more months so I don't really care. It's not a perfect resolution by any means, and not that entertaining, but yo I'll take it."

Nothing like a happy ending, eh?

Momus (Momus), Thursday, 8 June 2006 09:25 (nineteen years ago)

More likely the dog is in an animal shelter now, if the cops got involved. Have you bothered to use one (1) google to find out any of the stats yet, Momus?

But yes, I'd be interested to find out what the ultimate outcome was of the situation.

I am so tired of these people who get all caught up in being PC and never do anything abotu solving actual problems. you know that's why they call it PC anyway... because like in politics, nothing ever gets solved, it is rather lost in a sea of technicalities.

oh and lecoq is probably just gone because after he got all his shit moved into his new place, he probably forgot about this board as he probably has much more important super hero things to be doing.
