Prediction: The "ranch hands" are illegal immigrants. I wonder how they'd like the same "game"?

[Big Horn]

I bet you are right.

Probably true, but regardless, eye for an eye justice would be poetic justice here.

[liberalh8ter]

I bet you're right. In any case, they're subhuman excrement.

I’d sure like to know what ranch this was and which ranch hands, so I can take up overwatch and have a little entertainment of my own.

[McGavin999]

We need to find out who owns that ranch and ask them what they think of their employees choice of entertainment.

[Altariel]

If I were the ranch owner, they would have been fired the first time. How could I trust them around my animals, knowing what they did for “fun”?

[ScottinVA]

Stake those “ranch hands” down to the ground and take a John Deere over them... repeatedly.

People who abandon their dogs make me sick. Living in a rural area I see it all the time. The poor animals wander and either get hit by cars, starve, or shot. Rarely is there a happy ending for them.

Back in 1987, we found a very young pup abandoned at a rest stop near Goliad, Texas. He was cowering under a bench at the time... we took him back with us to San Antonio, and fairly quickly found a home for him (a co-worker). He appeared to be a Doberman/Great Dane mix... he grew to a huge size and turned out to be a wonderful pet for my co-worker's kids. Sweetest temperament and never heard him bark once.

The ranch owner should simply make these workers disappear. They are in charge of the animals that the ranch depends on. Killing of a dog for no good reason should not pass. What is wrong with people these days?

[Vendome]

Wouldn’t bother me to see them drop over a a deep ravine into a pile of barbed wire large enough to fill the deck of a barge....on a hot summer day.

[Salamander]

I’d like to suggest a “game”, if you don’t mind.

“Human pinata”

It's because people are 1. Cruel and don't care or 2. Incredibly stupid.

People think that they can release an animal into the wild (domesticated dog or a house cat) and it'll be just fine, because it's an animal, right?

I was talking to a lady a few months ago and she told me that when her family moved, they couldn't take their beloved cat, so they dropped the cat off at the shelter.

She was shocked when I informed her that shelters can hold an animal for only a very short time before they are put down.

[Altariel]

Well, yeah, but Odhinn would likely feel left out (no opposable thumbs) if we implemented that plan.

I prefer observing canine sensitivity to cultural sensitivity.

:-)

[Salamander]

How so?

The battered pieces are gonna hit the ground eventually and he’s not fussy about a little dirt on his meat.

[you’re forgetting he could jump up and tear his own chunks off, too...that dog sure likes playing “grab and shred”]

;D

[Altariel]

I guess I’m just a softie; I’m reluctant to do anything which could offend the canine community.

;-)

[Salamander]

He’s got his *own* whip, ya know.

;D

[Altariel]

Exactly why one should always be polite and deferential to the Doberman community.

:-)

[Salamander]

Yup 'cuz some of 'em's even got guns....LOL
