"WE BEAT IT 2 Death lol! HAHAHA!" (note found on family's dead pomeranian)

*Warning*

This news item is monstrous.

I am of a stoic nature, but this brought me to near tears. Having debated whether to post this information for the past 20 minutes, I ultimately decided to, because I need your help. I need to learn your thoughts on how we, as neighbors in this nation, can identify and hopeful get help to the seemingly ever-growing number of sick, morally bankrupt fu*** people we live amongst.

'We beat it 2 death lol!' says note found on dog's body

On Friday night while Verline Barthelemy was cooking dinner in her family's Pembroke Pines condo, she opened the patio door, the 13-year-old dog scampered down some stairs and went to the lush lawn behind their building to take care of business.

But Foxx didn't return home.

On Saturday morning, Barthelemy said a neighbor found Foxx's 7-pound, red-coated body on a stair leading to the patio and alerted Boisvert, who called Pembroke Pines police.

Reading from a report by the Saint Francis Emergency Animal Hospital, Barthelemy said Foxx's jaw, spine and ribs were fractured. His stomach was displaced, too, she said.

Pure evil.

The "we" in the note indicates this killing was perpetrating by 2 or more people. It also seems to be written by someone young.
This family has a young son that they will no longer allow to play in the backyard common area. I think that is a smart move; they have budding murderers for neighbors.

What is going on? Two (or more) kids hit it off as friends and decide to kick a dog to death? I don't know, but it is sickening.

It seems like I am reading all too frequently about senseless violence, murderous violence, bored violence.
How do we reverse this trend?

People have to start learning how to value and respect life again.

Eugenics would put a stop to this.

Sterilising the ones already born who have been caught is another step in the right direction.
Or the death penalty.

I'm good in either to be honest.


Scum.

These kids should be easy to find. If it were my dog they better hope the cops get them before me. sad

That is messed up and who the hell would leave a note? I do not know what gets into people who just up and decide to violently torture an animal.

That upsets me, too. I can't believe some people but really I shouldn't be surprised. I don't know how to fix the problem. There's something missing in some people I don't know if there's any way of putting it back.

if it was my dog, not only they better hope the cops get them before me, they would be wishing for death long before it came, and i would be the one going to jail.
i have no tolerance for torture of helpless defenseless animals, for those that get their jollies doing such things, they deserve a special kind of retribution.

Op thanks for depressing the crap out of me. I could have gone without seeing this and been just fine.

If someone killed my dog, I know I would go insane and seek revenge.

I'm for capital punishment. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

^^This.

I don't know if there is anyway of "fixing" them either.

My guess is that someone knows who did this. The families of the killers must certainly suspect. This horrific act didn't just happen without prior warning signs/wrong behaviors, in my opinion.

How do we make it easier (with less stigma attached) for families to get help for their loved ones whom they suspect may be violent?

People don't respect life anymore.

I'm saddened by this, but am far from shocked.

There are some seriously disturbed people out there, both young and old. I remember the girl that threw a litter of kittens, one by one into the river on video, totally unfazed.
It must be too much for some bastard to know that a dog is a faithful friend for someone, much more than many humans.

(the next course is obviously for them to move on to school shootings... or churches. ) hope not

at this point we don't know if they were kids.

I'm thinking they were not kids, and the note was written in this manner to indicate how little they thought of the repercussion their actions. as if they knew the value of life, even for our extended family members; our pets, and still showed no disregard, when kids do things like that its out of sheer stupidity most of the time, here I think they were trying to make a statement imo. I could be wrong.

but man, whatever is in our water is slowly and systematically turning people crazy... maybe its just the summer heat.

People have been torturing and killing animals for as long as man has been around.

I wonder, what's the difference between beating a dog for amusement and killing an animal for food. They are both self-serving acts and one can not make a claim one is more moral than the other. In both instances an animal is dead.

Isn't that hypocrisy?

By the way, I do not advocate the beating and murder of dogs and I enjoy a good cheeseburger. Perhaps if the dog ended up in my cheeseburger, it would be ok to kill it then?

a reply to: Olivine

I wouldn't be too fast to assume it's kids. I can't tell how many fights between petty bourgeoisie psychos over toy dogs and oleander bushes. The bitter and pointless cruelty I've ever seen came from middle aged realtors who didn't have any real problems but saw horrifying affronts to their whole lifestyle everywhere.

In one case a neighbor trimmed bushes on the realtors property over the fence, the realtor poisoned the neighbors dog, and the neighbor came back screaming that she had a .357 and wasn't leaving until she got to see who killed her dog. That got the neighbor 5150d, followed by months of HOA warfare that ended with an eviction. One dead, one arrested, one homeless, over dirty green hedges that will give you a mild rash but occasionally put off just a couple of unremarkable flowers.

No disrespect I don't get you...
While they both may be self serving, I'm not sure humor is absolutely necessary to sustain life.
Eating is.

If one kills for food themselves I hope the majority don't find humor in torturing the animal although I'm sure some do.

I personally think they are apples and oranges. Not trying to argue, truly, just found the connection odd...

a reply to: Olivine



Where were the conscience-lacking police when we need them??? OMG... My heart breaks for this poor dog..

a reply to: TNMockingbird

We don't need to eat animals to sustain life. Our teeth are not meant to facilitate the eating of meat and we only do so because the animals are plentiful and we have become accustomed to the diet.

I'm trying to point out our hypocrisy in that "life" only matters when it fits what we find acceptable. It's not actually life that matters, it's the psychological connection we have with that life.

It's ok to kill anything for food, and for pleasure. Unless it's an animal we like to have around, like a dog or cat.

So you were out there kicking the dog?
