OT - Dog Shot in HEAD with crossbow will survive
Totally OT here, but because it happend in Michigan, I wanted to share it. Fortunately the dog will make a full recovery.
I'd really love to meet this asshole in a secluded alley somewhere. It's your dog, yes. You have the right to put it down if you feel that's best. But you take it to a god damned vet and do it humanely, asshole! You couldn't even find a damned shotgun to do it properly? An arrow?
Sooooo angry.

Collecting a fee and agreeing to the procedure without performing euthanasia is without question highly unethical. You can suggest that the owner sign paperwork and surrender the pet.
Euthanizing healthy pets is a matter up for debate when one considers the countless number of animals in shelters and overpopulation of pets in general. The quality of life for pets living in many shelters is questionable. It certainly is not ethical to send a pet back home into an environment where it will not receive adequate care. Even worse, an owner who is forced to take their (likely intact) pet back may just release it, potentially worsening the overpopulation situation. On the other hand, providing convenience euthanasia simply reinforces the behavior of irresponsible pet owners.

If he had any.
There is a special place in hell for assholes like this. This kind of stuff makes so sad and angry.
The guy who did that...
OMG I would beat him so badly and show no mercy. Anyone who does cruel things to innocent animals, especially dogs, deserves to spend a long time in jail and get his or ass handed to them.
Wow. Insane that the dog survived, but very glad that it did. Haven't been that worked up by an article in awhile. People suck.
Staple his nutsack to the floor, using one of those industrial T-50 staplers

is Dafuq is wrong with people? Some days I really feel guilty for bringing a child into this steaming pile of "humanity"
cruelty to animals.
"Crucifixion is too good for 'em, sir"
Seriously, who does this jerk think he is? Darryl from the Walking Dead?
If I ever meet this asshole.
First thing I do is shoot him in the balls so he cannot reproduce anymore. Then I shoot a kneecap or two so every time he tries to take a step for the rest of his life, he's reminded of what he did. Just before he passes out from a loss of blood, I'd make an anonymous 911 call -- killing him would be too good for him. I'd make him suffer instead.

There's always that guy, isn't there?
And BTW, yes, he is a disgusting human for being THAT stupid and thoughtless to do something so cruel to an innocent animal. I guess I might understand a little if he had diagnosed serious mental problems. Otherwise, I have ZERO compassion for people like this.
Yes, he is a terrible human being for doing such a thing, at least in my own opinion. I've always believed that the road between doing something this violent and inhumane to your pet and the propensity for doing similar things to people is probably a lot shorter than some folks would care to admit. Honestly, people who feel at ease to do things like this frighten me more than most others.
This dog wasn't old and dying. This dog was having problems with another dog.
The owner could just have brought the dog to a shelter.
unacceptable, the idiot drove the dog out to a secluded woods to committ the deed.

I took my beagle to the vet to be euthanized last May, and to be honest, that 30 minute wait in the office with your lifelong pal, when you know what's coming, is the most agonizing time you will ever spend.
I understand not all people have the means or heart to do it this way. But to me, waiting in that vets office was just terrible.
PS - I've never put a dog down personally, always my dad, I guess bc he's from the old school he can handle it better than most.
And to the idiot with the crossbow, yeah he is an idiot who deserves to be punished.
I had to put my golden down in Sept of 2013. That was the worst... he's suffocating to death from cancer and he's wagging his tail and licking me and the vet. I lost it. Didn't stop crying for days.

My dachshund mix Loki(adopted from the humane society) would use every point available to down vote the guy if he ever showed up here.
Yes, he should be shot in the small head with an arrow.
I have a neighbor with Flat coated retriever and they are very nice dogs.
Nobody is suggesting this is worse than human on human crime - but kicking this guy's ass wouldn't really be a crime, I don't think.
I say we combine the outrage and turn the crossbow guy lose on those who covered up the little boys getting raped at PSU.
Coolest dog song ever...
What the guy did to his dog was stupid. But there are a lot of animals being treated poorly in this society that everyone ignores because stories aren't made of them. If we are this up in arms about one dog, how up in arms should we be about systematic mistreatment?
We as humans are unique animals in that we are the ultimate predator, and also have the capacity for reason and empathy. Unfortunately we will always find ourselves in these situations.
You don't eat your friends. That's why people are okay with consuming livestock versus a dog...
...and yes, factory farming is a scourge on society. Slowly but surely, people are coming around to treating their food with respect.
