shocking sight on beach today

rightio about a year ago at the beach carpark i saw a man punch one of his 2 german shepards in the face because they were taking too long jumping in the car. he then dragged it up by a choker into the car. i cant remember if i made a post about this or not.

today i saw the same man once again being abusive. his dog was not doing anything wrong apart from going 2 metres away from him. he called the dog over, grabbed its cheeks and lifted the dog up off the ground by its cheeks. he started yelling at his dog then dropped it. he put the choker and and dragged it away. everyone saw it and just couldnt believe it but no one wanted to say anything. the man is obviously VERY aggressive and controlling so we all stayed away. as we walked away i remembered that he was the same man who punched his dog in the face and realised that he used to have 2 german shepards, now he only has one. i wonder what happened to the other one.....

i said to my partner 'why doesnt his wife say something shes sitting right there!'. he just said 'he probably does the same thing to her'.

i wish there was something else i could do if i ever saw something like that again.

Thats terrible. I would hate to witness anything like this especially if there is not much you can do about it.

That would just absolutely kill me to have to witness that. I'm afraid that my Husband would want to confront the man. He has no tolerance to people that mistreat animals at all. Hopefully those poor dogs will get their just rewards with that monster someday.

That is terrible, I hate it when people hit their dogs to get them to behave better or for any reason! Someone should beat him!

Poor dogs well as they say what goes around comes around so i guess this owner will get whats coming to him..

Wonder how he would react if one day this dog got sick of him being abusive and turned and attacked him don't think he would be so cocky then..

I think what it is with animal abusers well anyone that abuses either animals or children its a power thing they love the thought of being in control and they have power over them when really they are nothing but cowards and the only way to make themselves feel big is by abusing someone or something....

I would make the evening news if I witnessed something like that - and I'd hope he did punch me for speaking to him then he'd be in jail for assault

you can do soemthing. if you see him again. Get his licence plate # and call the police. Animal abuse is illegal.

i plan to next time sams. if i see him again i will wait until he leaves so i know which number plate to get. i have a rough idea of what his car looks like from when he punched his dog.

mike, i suspect thats what the other dog did to him seeing as the other one wasnt there. he probably put him down Sad
