Dog Set on Fire and Left to Burn to Death

    Well, Hot Dog! You forgot to paste for the proles;
    A DOG was doused in petrol, set alight, then flung over a wall in a horrific attack at the weekend.
    The dog ran around the garden of a house in Valeview Gardens, Finglas, Dublin, for a few minutes in flames, shrieking in agony, before running onto the road where a local man killed the animal with a blow from a shovel to put it out of its misery.
    Dublin SPCA suspect that petrol was used. DSPCA Ambulance Driver Gillian Duffy, who was called to the scene and removed the body, was shaken and very upset about the incident.
    Cruelty
    "This is one of the worst cases of animal cruelty that we have ever had the misfortune to see," she said.
    "That poor animal suffered the cruellest, most agonising death imaginable. What kind of person could douse a puppy in petrol, set it on fire and fling it over a wall -- listening to its howling and shrieking?"
    Orla Aungier, operations manager at Dublin SPCA, said: "The disturbing reality is that the youths who conducted this violent crime will more than likely progress on to more horrific forms of abuse.
    "It has been extensively proven that cruelty to animals can be a significant indicator that a child or young adult is at high risk of becoming a perpetrator of violence in society," she said.
    Anyone with information about the horrific crime is asked to contact Finglas Garda Station or Dublin SPCA.

    Pure sick. They should be banned from owning or coming near a pet/animal in the future with charges brought against them! Shame on them but shame on us if we let this kind of thing slide.:mad:

    They should be banned from living imo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,164 ✭✭✭hobochris


    They should be handcuffed to a chair in a cell, covered in petrol, set alight and left there to die.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,706 ✭✭✭120_Minutes


    they should be found, doused in petrol, set alight and thrown in the street.

    i hate scum, they're ****ing subhumans and, before people post here, comparing them to animals......no, animals should get better treatment than scum.

    you'd have to be seriously sick and f*cked up to do something like that, just shows you what kind of youths are out there walking the streets these days


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 458 ✭✭I_am_Jebus


    I can't begin to imagine the kind of "person" to do something like that.

    I really just don't get what goes on in people's minds. It's scary to be honest.

    As a supposedly intelligent species, we have a hell of lot to answer for.

    In some ways I hope there isn't a God because when judgement day comes I do not want to be classsified in the same category as people like this.

    I highly doubt it was one of their own pets they set on fire and left to die. Banning scumbags like that from owning an animal is useless. They should be prosecuted. Anybody who could do something so disgusting to a living thing is a danger to everyone around them and shouldnt be left roaming the streets :mad: :mad: :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,652 ✭✭✭Trekker09


    Appaling. Somebody in the area knows who they are and should spill the beans. Some people will say that it was only an animal etc but the pure thug mentality has to be challenged at all levels.

    I would pay good money to see those responsible put in a boxing ring and get the lard bet out of them. But what is the current punishment for a crime like this, and also, what should the punishent be?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    Record the sound of the dog suffering and play it back at high volume to the attackers throughout the morning. Every morning for a week. (I would say night, but I presume they are not tucked away all nice and cosy at that time)

    Your right, we should all just bury our heads and pretend that monsters like this live somewhere else.

    You'll be reading about this person in the new few years in the court report.
    Or at least "cannot be named for legal reasons" if they are underage.

    Harming animals is but one step on their way to a murder/manslaughter charge in a few years.
    It's been well reported in other cases, James Bolger and possibly that Baby P case

    Harming animals is in no way a guarentee that someone will go on to commit crimes in the future.

    No, but it is an indicator. A lot of seriel killers started by killing animals, Son Of Sam etc, although in this instance I would say that it was just a bunch of tosspots acting macho in front of each other and it got out of hand.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,015 ✭✭✭CreepingDeath

    No, but it is a precursor for that sort of behaviour, particularly the low empathy levels for other living things.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,878 ✭✭✭✭arybvtcw0eolkf


    I've lost for words.

    I've two dogs and they're like my babies, it actually hurts me to think too deeply about this.

    Bastards.

    Boardsies donate money into a fund to be given to whoever gives information leading to the arrest of these thugs?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,652 ✭✭✭Trekker09


    My dog got hit by an oil lorry last Wednesday and had her rear right leg amputated. We were absolutely devastated and my 2 kids are still deeply upset. This was the result of an accident, at least I could explain the concept of accidents etc, but how do you go about trying to cure the trauma of somebody killing your pet for fun?

    These people are the absolute sum of the earth, and words cannot describe what i would do to them if i came upon them.

    Animals dont think or reason like human beings.
    Dogs have the reasoning or rational of a 2 year old child.
    Most dogs are harmless,defenseless animals...

    And its sickening to the stomach to think that we as humans who have the ability to think and reason that we can carry out such hideous act.

    I second that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭abouttobebanned


    I'm not afraid to admit that that story made me cry. Dogs unconditionally love humans, they only want to please them. I don't understand this behaviour and I never will. As well as being incredibley cruel to dogs, it also devalues a human life. Because, if a human can do this, then how do they deserve to live? If I saw someone doing this I'd hit them over the head with the hammer, and if they died, so be it - that's what's good enough for them.


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 10,446 Mod ✭✭✭✭xzanti


    Takes a certain breed of scum to do something like that.. I hope they get burnt beyond recognition in a house fire and survive and live the rest of their days in agony.. with no eyelids..

    Dirty bastards

    I caught a mouse in a trap in my house last week. It killed me to do it, i'm a softie really.
    I couldn't bare to look at it when him up to remove him from the house.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,575 ✭✭✭junkyard


    People who do this kind of thing should be hunted down and given a similar death to what ever they killed or tortured, there's not much point in trying to rehabilitate them. It might be animals today but pretty soon it will be another human being. Sick f**kers tbh.:mad:

    This confuses me. Maybe if we don't hear about these things it will never happen. I somehow doubt that though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,477 ✭✭✭Kipperhell


    I remember when in school a guy told me this "hilarious" story of two guys torturing a cat. What shocked the hell out me was not that the guys (I knew them) would do it but the school GAA team were there watching and laughing.

    I mentioned it to a teacher because I had had a run in with one of the guys which was partially to do with it. He was very angry about what had happened when I told him and went off to the principle. The principle did nothing to them in public as he would have lost his team but swore them to silence.

    Lots of people knew and the team all stood up for them. They were getting the sh*te kicked out of them on a regular basis before the team backed them up. Then a complete psycho in school broke one guys arms and apparently pulled a knife on two other guys who tried to get involved. It eventually quieted down but nobody ever got in trouble for what happened to the guys. They are still seen as scum bags to many people but one of them is lawyer which he would never have been if he didn't spend his time hiding in house.

    It wouldn't have been as bad if the guys were actually from particularly hard back grounds but they were quite well off middle class backgrounds. It completely turned me off the schools honour and taught me a lot about people.

    You're a funny fooker, aren't you? Either that, or you're just trolling. I could guess, but I'm sure you have the intelligence to figure it out.

    It you are equating the removal of vermin from your house, to the total savagery of a dog being doused in petrol and thrown over a wall to yelp in pure agony, well then, you have some issues.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,190 ✭✭✭✭IvySlayer


    I feel sick reading that story.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,619 ✭✭✭Bob_Harris

    Dogs are so much better than humans it's not even funny.

    The above case highlights the mind numbing idiocy of the culprits. If I remember rightly, all of those invloved had to move away from the area such was the level of disgust at their actions.

    I can understand where Whycliff is coming from, I hate to kill anything regardless what it is.

    And I know there are humane traps for catching mice, but I've never found them of any use. So sometimes you just have to kill the poor little beggars, but I cringe and I've done it too.

    I even step over spiders and snails in the garden, actually I usually pick up the snails and put them safely into one of the shrubs.

    Dogs don't love humans. What are you on about!?
    Dogs are loyal stupid animals incapable of human emotions - quite projecting yourself on them and instead if you seek love and attention do the healthy thing and try interacting with society, you know friends, family children etc.!

    People talking about animals like family members is just as sick as this crime. Don't get me wrong this crime is horrific, but to consider murdering someone over it makes you far FAR worse than the perpetrators.

    My dog was one of mine. She died last January, probably the worst day of my life so far. It's like losing a brother or sister.

    I disagree, my two dogs are like my babies.

    I've a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and a Pitbull Terrier and I swear to good God, if someone harmed them in any way shape or form - I wouldn't kill them, however I'd kick the crap out of them before letting the dogs have their revenge too.

    Why not focus on this story? This sort of sick ****e should be highlighted very forcibly. The unrelenting attention and fear of reprisals might make the sick fuc's who did this think twice before they harm another animal.

    I wouodnt condone gratutious cruelty but there's some bloke not far from me with a poxy dog thats howling and yelping morning noon and night and i'd dearly love to shoot it and its owner.
    Its obvious its never let out or taken for a walk so everybody else has to listen to it barking all night instead.
