Homeless mans rabbit thrown in Liffey

The rabbit man should have been dumped back into the liffey considering the show of "gratefulness" he gave to the rescue services. Rabbit should be found a home.

The homeless guy is clearly as much of a d1ck as the guy who threw the rabbit in in the 1st place

Disgusting, cowardly, act. I wish we had a system were we could do the same to the scumbag that did this.

I am curious though, why does the homeless guy start fighting with the lads on the boat toward the end?

Maybe he was afraid they'd take his pets too? Or he'd get into trouble himself for what happened?

His dog is still on the bridge and the dinghy is taking him somewhere else. He was trying to get them to turn around.

The rabbit looked like he was on burrowed time for a while there.....

Didnt want to be taken too far from his dog I would imagine, as it was still on the bridge. Can't say I've seen him there before, but then again I dont walk over that bridge alot. Good to see they are all ok.

Heartless cnutbags whoever threw the rabbit in the river.

The cops have just released a sketch of the suspect.

Hopping mad at that scumbag.

^ that's my favourite of the puns!

Whoever did that is a horribly bad person. Glad to see they both came out ok.

I deffo think we should set aside an island for these scum like these and let them live/rot on the island in any way they want .

Whoever did this is a complete b*****d. Something similar happened in Limerick last year. An elderly man who plays the tin whistle on the street (not actually homeless AFAIK but anyway) had a Jack Russell who he was devoted to. He was there one day when a couple of scumbags just grabbed the dog and ran off with him. Poor old man was heartbroken. He was on local radio and newspapers appealing for the return of the dog as he said he was his best friend. I'm open to correction, but I don't think he ever got him back

He was sold in a curry!

If it's the animal's welfare which concerns people, there really isn't a huge world of difference when you think about it. Meat eating isn't necessary any more so it's a selfish luxury. If someone like me can be vegan for many years and in great health it just proves this. Before you reply - THINK for a moment about what you are saying.

Would you have a bit cop on?

I'm pretty much vegan, but just stop hijacking this thread. If you can't see that meat eating and the intentional causing of pain and suffering towards an animal and its owner for amusment are different, then I really do worry about you.

This is After Hours, not a place for you to house your agenda.

What a cruel, heartless thing to do.

This guys pets are probably the only stable, loving friendship in his life, and for him to witness this must have broke his heart. Fair dues to him for rescuing it.

Story made me think of this pic

Fúcking disgrace that someone would do that to a poor defenceless animal and hope he's charged with animal cruelty...

I hope he's not. A charge of animal cruelty, unfortunately, tends to carry a minimum sentence. If he gets caught, they should charge him with anything that will stick at all that will get him the largest sentence possible. Fucker!!!!

So long as what is being sympathized is the companionship between the homeless man and his rabbit - rather than the welfare of the animal itself then I'm fine with that.

Sympathize with what the man went through having his pet being taken from him by some sadistic bastard. Sympathize with what that poor creature went through being ripped away from what it was comfortable with and fucked off a height and into what must have been pretty cold water. Then try to acknowledge the depth of cruelty that was needed for somebody to take a person's innocent pet away from them and throw them into a river. This isn't something to be compared with animals being killed for their meat (which I'm not necessarily condoning). This is a completely different issue, and drawing parallels between the two is pointless, other than to push your own agenda.

If you became a vegan because you love animals and you don't want them killed to feed you, you show an amazing lack of sympathy for this rabbit and what was done to it.
