[b][i]What the fuck is wrong with Facepunch?![/i][/b]
i've been confronted with the need to kill something for it's own good, it is a VERY confronting situation and don't exactly tend to think ahead.
Throwing the stump was one of those things you don't think about, if he had thought about it, he wouldn't have done it, and don't act like you've never done these spontaneous things that go wrong.
had he called the vet, i doubt that it would have been faster than running down the road to walmart, and he would have been put in the situation where he wouldn't have enough money to pay the vet.
And while you are pointing fingers calling him a monster, fucking put yourself in his shoes! a dumb mistake ended up him killing his dog! before you fucking post again with your dorito fingers having not experienced anything like this. consider the emotional stress the OP is undergoing, i'm sure he realises what he's done, and you're making it worse.
shame on you FP.
EDIT: And i'm sure he had a greater scope of the dog's injuries than you, if he hadn't put it down, the vet would have, and if he payed up the thousands, the dog would have probably lived in paralysed agony.
[QUOTE=zzzZZZZ;30931961]That "reflex thought" was probably better than most. In terms of humanity, actually lifting it up and carrying/driving it to a vet actually could have exacerbated the injury, as well as caused the dog even more pain, for the sake of most likely not even fixing the problem.[/QUOTE]
killing the dog as a reflex thought and actually carrying out with it is extremely disturbing to me, i think you're missing the point that he ignored all other possible options and went with the last resort instead.
[QUOTE=zzzZZZZ;30932018]Then you're a fool.[/QUOTE]
Fukc off
Animal abuse!
stoP rating me dumb sobotdick
SOTP IT!
[QUOTE=SeverePapercut;30931940]honestly I would think you should get charged with some sort of crime for hurting an animal and then killing it so nobody could find out. Im saddened that an innocent animal is now dead because you didnt want to be responsible and do the right thing. I hope you never own a pet again.[/QUOTE]
oh no he accidentally hurt that stupid animal let's charge him!
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;30931949][b]purchase another dog if such another one is required.[/b][/QUOTE]
Im not sure If you should own a pet if you injure it and then say "oh shit hope my parents dont get wind of this, lets shoot it"

I'm missing no such point. The last resort was also the only resort. Killing the dog was overwhelmingly likely regardless, and OP did it in the most humane way possible at the time. It was obviously not a reflex, since he first called a vet. It wasn't just like "uhoh, hit him with a stump, time for target practice hurr". He considered other options, and then realized that they were either impractical, futile, or cruel.

What the fuck?
good thing you bought fifty bullets op, you'll need them for your parents when they find out.
ahaha.
aha.
ha.
no seriously they're going to be fucking pissed. threaten the kid who saw you with the gun and make up a story. now.
There are dozens of things you could have done differently, but I don't think any of that matters now.
From your description, it doesn't sound to me like anything could be done. For serious spinal cord injuries, there's not much point in paying thousands and thousands of dollars just to extend the animal's misery. Your methods were clumsy, sure, but I think you did the right thing in putting it down.
You definitely need to tell your parents the truth about it instead of wasting their time (and yours) searching and sending out fliers, and then they might find out anyway. Besides, you had a witness- no point in trying to hide anything unless you're willing to kill him, too. :v:
The fact that you put it out of its misery isn't nearly as terrible as the fact that you left it outside in the sun while you went to get ammunition, then put it into a bag and carried it like an idiot into the woods before you shot it.

Congrats you're an asshole for kicking the OP while he's down
Hey everyone, I haven't read every single reply to the thread yet, browsed the front page a little to see what was going on, but I am the friend who was there with him. When it happened it was a pretty shocking event, I was standing back watching him put the dogs in the pin and saw him pick up the stump, the next thing I knew it had hit the dog.
It was a freak accident, yes it was a dumb move but we all make mistakes, some are worse than others. As soon as it happened I had him bring me water to splash on the dog to keep it cool, it was burning hot outside. I tried all I could but the dog was [i]dying[/i]. If we had taken it to a vet they would have put it down, and it would have cost Dah-thla and his family a lot of money.
It was the only thing we could do, either put the dog out of its misery now or take it to a vet and have them do it. The dog had already voided its bowels and was going to die a slow, horrible death. I did not want it to go through with that, nor did Dah, so we decided to put it down and bury it. This all happened very fast and he made the best decision possible for the situation.
As far as telling his parents, he needs to. But I'm not going to get involved there, it was his mistake and I am going to step aside and let him do that on his own.
Anyways, it's been a very long day, and we're both pretty iffy from the events, be nice to him. He just had to shoot a dying animal that he pretty much took care of for a big part of its life. Of course he feels a little bit for it, it's not like he's a heartless monster.
It seems the more reasonable ones are telling me to tell the truth. If that is the case then I will have to tell them tomorrow.
I tried for help I tried the vet care place. After they told me the sum of money it would cost just to look at him. I thought of people I could call. No one was available. When I took the trip to Wal-Mart and "let it lay there in the hot sun" It was actually in the shade. Besides, even if I didn't go to Wal-Mart what was I supposed to do? Watch it lay there in pain in the shade? instead of doing something about it?
Dig it back up and give it to your family
SURPRISE!
[QUOTE=mbutler2;30931444]How else will you guys believe me? You are already trying to find faults in my story.
I do not have any neighbors or family friends [b]that I could call for help.[/b][/QUOTE]
Why do you give a fuck if we believe you? We aren't some grand jury that can absolve you of any wrongdoing.
[QUOTE=waxrock;30932058]oh no he accidentally hurt that stupid animal let's charge him![/QUOTE]
The fact that he didnt tell anybody and is now sitting on a dead dog he plans to say ran away is cause for a charge. Rate me dumb ill build a house of boxes
You did the right thing by putting it out of it's misery.
You fucked up big time by not telling your parents.
Snipped, too far, he can deal with the consequences himself.
Can you guys quit bashing the OP. He was put in a situation that none of us have been in it. He did make some bad decisions, but that's about it. He's not an asshole or dumb. He just messed up.

Don't beat yourself up about it. Again, maybe your methods were clumsy, but all in all you did the right thing.
You need to tell your parents as soon as possible. Don't bother waiting.
You guys overreact like nothing I have ever seen.
Someone name one alternative that would have actually saved the dog pain.
Im gonna hug my dog when I wake up tomorrow

right, i can understand this. i just feel that he didn't exhaust all of his other options, but i guess in the end i'm not him and i can't change what he did.
Now Amos Moses was a Cajun
He lived by himself in the swamp
He hunted cocker spaniel for a living
He just knock them in the head with a stump
Who the hell has the bright idea of drowning or smashing a dog's head in? Dear god, between you debating on drowning/smashing a dog's head and completely leaving it outside for most likely half an hour while you went to get ammunition, it seems like you didn't even care for the animal.
Especially not since you picked the dog up WITH A TRASH BAG. Like, seriously, most people would've held the dog in their hands for the last time and cherished the moment where they could be with their companion one last time or some other movie-inspired crap.

If it was in the shade then that's okay, but what's up with the stupid plastic bag, man?
