It's actually quite disturbing, hence the category, but I imagine that this kind of thing goes on all the time, not every puppy can be loved. The girl is perdy cute (she has some kind of Euro accent too) Still... to see it happening, well... Here you go:
tinypliny - 09/04/10 02:10 @ (e:jenks): I once had a clerkship rotation in a clinic that received quite a number of victims of sexual violence. I think it changed me in many ways - some of them not so great. Some of the patients and their histories still occasionally crawl through my nightmares. :/
jenks - 09/01/10 19:37 Ok I haven't watched the video, but I get the gist.
Two words:
SPAY/NEUTER
no one wants to see puppies killed.
But no one wants packs of wild dogs either.
Shelters are always full, and tons of dogs get put down every day. And cats. We just don't see videos of it.
sad.
But like tiny said- it's 'just' animals. Don't get me wrong- it's awful.
But I just started reading the book 'Half the Sky' about "women's issues" around the world...
It's been sitting on my nightstand for months because I figured it was some feminist agenda thing and I thought it would be all feminazi and/or boring...
But wow. It's not. It's eye-opening and horrifying.
routine abortion of girl babies, systematic rape and torture, human trafficking and forced prostitution... entire hospitals dedicated to care of fistulas (where urine and feces just dribble uncontrollably out of the vagina)- due either to violent rape (often with guns or sticks) or from a baby getting stuck when a raped 12 year old's pelvis isn't big enough to deliver...
Anyway. Sorry for the hijack.
I agree that killing puppies is awful.
But wow I'm a little horrified to know how much other bad stuff is out there.
tinypliny - 09/01/10 03:25 I am not sure I should be saying this but I will go ahead and say it anyway. I am not so much disturbed by the video as I am by all the reaction this is provoking and the direction of that reaction. We calmly watch humans treated worse in war torn zones and prisoner camps, people dying just because they don't have health care or food or both, cold calculated mass homicides, violence against women and children all over the world and yet do little to denounce the perpetrators. But this unfortunate girl, whose life we are completely ignorant about, whose motivations to drown those puppies we obviously don't know, whose actions are clearly being taken out of context, suddenly invites the wrath of a lynch mob.
To answer my own question, an informative and revealing article about how they euthanise puppies at shelters: :::link:::
paul - 09/01/10 01:45 Her name and address are all over the internet now. Looks like she is from Germany. I love how all the people were saying its understandable because she is probably from a "third world" country. Who still thinks there are "third world" countries in Europe?
I kind of wonder what kind of crazy global vigilante justice will come out of it. If I was her, or her parents, I would go into hiding.
paul - 09/01/10 00:33 Really its not too different from what happens when they don't get adopted at the SPCA.
samathon86 - 08/31/10 22:17 coz you guys had to see the puppy throwing video, here's something that might cheer you guys up : :::link::: :)
tinypliny - 08/31/10 20:03 I am just wondering, how does one euthanise puppies?
leetee - 08/31/10 19:36 i couldn't watch the whole thing. this fucking asshole of a human being is evil and someone should do this to her. if the puppies needed to be killed, there were kinder more humane ways to achieve that task. my faith in humanity is shredded....
tinypliny - 08/31/10 17:38 Maybe they were diseased or rabid? I know. Not a very good justification for chucking them into the river, but animal health-care can get pretty expensive for 7+ puppies, not to mention the health hazard to the humans around them.
At the risk of sounding extremely nasty and devoid of humanity, I wish they did something like this for the massively out-of-control stray dog problem in Delhi. We were sick of seeing little kids in the ER mauled or bitten by the random dog packs that should have been culled in the first place.

I can't afford you missing this Category: fucking awesome
Hung out with Fernie at the pool at Benderson. Janine came too, she really loves that baby and I think Fern really likes her too. Shy people only like to talk to each other; it's weird… The baby pool was perfect Fern could get in and out by her self and I got some chillax time in the sun. To boot the prices and quality of the concessions at the pool were amazing ($5 for snacks for all, and the chips had flaxseed in em). The hot dog was made out of something I wouldn't be ashamed to say I fed my kid too.
PUBLIC NOTE TO SELF: Always buy the Jewish version of "bad for you" food, it's just better. There's real meat in the hotdogs, real sugar in the Pepsi.... I don't know why they don't do this for other kinds of people, but I'll fake being jewish at bbq's if it'll rid me of some diet guilt.
Got an armband at the carnival for Fern so she could ride everything non stop…and she stopped pretty early. There was a lil baby boy in our entourage and Fern would pet his face like a puppy every once and a while, it was tender. In the middle of everything Fern and I were stranded with all the stuff and she had go to the potty so I had to teach her how to pee "on the side of the road" style between some carnival vehicles. Which must not be easy if you're the girl peeing, and down right scary for a guy trying to teach a girl how to do it for the first time, but we go it done.
Before we got to the carnival in Riverside, Fern and I bought flags and stuff to see the fireworks. We found out that there's no tax on flags, and we kept screaming that at the top of our lungs it while we waved ours. I made sure she really knew what the holiday was for (this time, ask me about Memorial day some time) and i think she really got into it. Man I love that baby and now she loves being an American, I like it that that's what this holiday can be for someone...
And since it was the 4th we stayed up until "are you serious" o'clock until Fern got all "why so serious" on me, but she passed out in the short car ride home so everything was alright.
Went to the beach on Monday with some homies and it was almost a catastrophe but I have sweet assed friends. I did this thing where I get all anxious about something happening without other people there and messaged a ton of humans, then everyone called back at the same time and I didn't want to uninvited anyone. : \ Still I thought the two groups that did want to go might mix well, and i was wrongish. everyone was cool, but clearly some friends didn't have as good a time because the others were there. I gotta be more patient. I'm coming to find this to be a montra that would help me a lot in life.
On the completely up side, being that bereft of clothes for that long was fuuuuuun. Ok, I look a lot better now. I have to say it feels good to be naked in public finally, and being around people who are just as comfortable was key. My friend Josh wore a skin tight american flag man-kini and is blessed by the gods of Wang so I got to see a lot of fun reactions from strange girls. I've decided that flirting is what guys who can't hang their penis' out have to do to convince women sex might be fun. Jokes take a lot to get a girl to giggle the way they do when they spy a fat lazy hamster in his hammock. Just saying.
Later I went to a bbq and grilled what was left of the beach clams and drank really good beer. So even though I missed a few things I was invited to I still had some serious fun.
I guess the thing that stuck with me the most over this weekend is that if you don't take the time to celebrate what is good in things that you have or are all get to have or be is the worst of what's wrong with everything. I felt really American this weekend and I felt good about it coming from a guy like me it's a big step I guess. I think that if everyone would allow them selves to feel good about anything every once in a while, it'd make life a lot brighter...
Ok peeps. Hope you had a fun 4th. We'll chat again soon.
heidi - 07/09/10 12:07 Check out this old article from the _Atlantic Monthly_, "Caring for Your Introvert" :::link:::
This Cary Tennis column is also amusing, "The Two-Introvert Problem" :::link::: (I couldn't get to it directly on salon.com for some unknown reason.)
metalpeter - 07/07/10 18:24 1. Glad you had a great time
2. The Fully Naked in public thing sounds fun, but I don't think I could really do it
3. (e:heidi) comment about introvert is pretty interesting and makes me think at least
There is this battle that goes on often of being introverted and extroverted , I would say writing a blog is being extroverted but that doesn't mean you are an extorveted person.
A. I have never liked the term Shy. Because some people are very talkative around people they know and even fight with them, but stay silent around others.
4. The flirting thing I don't know, I all ways thought that was a girl thing, but if only girls did it, it wouldn't work so......
lilho - 07/06/10 19:51 why you text then not text back????? i hate that shit.
heidi - 07/06/10 17:34 We're introverts, not shy. And you're lucky we talk to your overly social ass at all. :-)
