    Default Warning! Graphic cruelty to dogs in this video!

    I've checked this at snopes already, and it doesn't seem to be a hoax, so here is a link. When I've had a pet, it usually has been a dog, so this had me royally POed! Someone posted this link at another MB, and as stated there, it gets bad midway through. So if you'd rather not see this, i.e., dogs being used as shark bait, on a large hook, either skip it or fast forward through it. I don't know if the petition will help much, but it's better than nothing at all.

    Yeah.. I can't even attempt to click on that link. Could you give us a direct-link to the petition, Phaedrus? I'd appreciate it, just for us who just can't even click on the link.

    Yes please, link to the petition would be great....with that warning I won't click on the link. I'll sign and so will my two dogs (a.k.a. my children in fur coats).

    The link provided isn't directly to the video, but to the page containing the video. You have to click directly on the video in order to see it, and the page is in French. I had no luck trying to find a direct link, but just click on the "sign the petition" link to bring up the petition form in English and do not click on the video itself.

    Worst case analysis-go into your browser options or preferences and disable image loading, click on the petition link after you've gone to the page, then back out and enable image loading once again after filling out the form. There isn't anything offensive as to images on this page as long as you avoid the video. And thank you to all of you who sign!

    It's in french so I have no idea what the commenter os saying, but it's not graphic at all. Actually, It looks to me like a video of an animal clinic trying to help dogs.

    If I would guess, The video is about how in france there might be a problem with too many street dogs on the loose? I dunno, but this was NOT graphic or animal cruelty in any way. It's people helping dogs get better.

    Oh and with the hook thing, its just some very nice vets trying to southe the dog and then putting him to sleep (not for good!!) to take the hook out.

    To me, the "hook thing" is the violence. As to what is being said on the page, I've been to babelfish.org, now, and while it's not the greatest at translating, it's enough to get the gist of things...

    "The Island of the Meeting counts nearly 150,000 wandering dogs delivered to themselves, victims of regular and particularly cruel acts of ill-treatment. Moreover, an odious local tradition consists in using them like alive soft foods for fishing with the shark, in their inserting an enormous hook in the chops before throwing them to the sea!"

    Basically, it says stray dogs on the Isle of Meeting are being used as live bait to catch sharks. And you've already seen the "hook in the chops." So it was something I did not find easy to watch, considering the pets in my own past.

    Yea, but it wasn't graphic cruelty... I could show you some graphic videos.

    During my freshman year of college, I took a class called Environmental Ethics. We had a guest speaker from Peta named Gary Tofu (Crazy guy)
    Showed us some videos to try and sway us and become vegens (Don't eat anything that has a face on it, including honey cause he says bees are forced to produce honey heh)

    But I agree, animal cruelty is sad.
