Sue Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Link here qith picture Four teenagers have been arrested for punching and kicking a two-month-old puppy and then throwing it through a basketball hoop. Police said the Labrador has bad bruising and is barely able to stand after the attack at a park near Wilson Place in Papakura yesterday at 6.15pm. The dog was taken to the SPCA for treatment. "Witnesses reported the dog being repeatedly kicked before it was thrown up a tree. The dog was motionless when it fell back down," a police spokesman said. "One of the boys then held it by its front legs whilst another boy kicked it in the stomach. They continued punching and kicking the puppy and threw it through a basketball hoop." Police arrested the teenagers at the scene and have referred them to Youth Aid. ____________________________________________________________ _______________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staranais Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 That's very sad. I hope someone can intervene & change the lives of these kids, since I doubt they're heading anywhere good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darien Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Poor little thing I don't understand why the witness didn't stop them My first instinct would have been to run to the aid of the puppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minxy Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Sigh. I hope they receive proper consequences for their actions. What possesses teenagers to act in such horrible, violent ways is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately if you lived in Papakura and saw a group of youths doing something like this you would be wise NOT to interfer unless armed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbi Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 All the acts of cruelty being reported in the media makes me ashamed to be the same species as these monsters, I realise due to the internet we are probably hearing about them more than we used to but words fail me Poor puppy, I hope the rest of its life is filled with love and kindness.

sas Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 People who do these kind of things go onto much worse things so I hope they deal with them very seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spottychick Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Sigh. I hope they receive proper consequences for their actions. What possesses teenagers to act in such horrible, violent ways is beyond me. Unfortunately it seems nothing much will happen as the article refers to them not facing punishment "due to their age". Personally I don't care how old they are. They have to face consequences or they wont learn a thing, it will just be a "badge of honour" in their sick little circles. Such a sweet little puppy - and so tiny. It just blows my mind that anyone could do that, especially kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

labsrule Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 The b*stards need stringing up :laugh: Potential psychopaths in the making!! What was wrong with that bloody witness, how could they do nothing when this poor defenceless pup was being attacked by these mongrels :rofl: Poor poor baby hope it finds a loving forever home and gets to trust humans again. Makes me sick to the stomach and embarrassed being a Kiwi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkabull Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 The more I hear about the things some people are capable of doing the more embarassed I am at being a part of the human race. The legal system we have seems to protect the guilty and punish the innocent. no doubt the parents of thses kids would defend their behaviour, you know the 'they are just being kids' and 'it's only a dog'. Honestly the s*#t that comes out of the mouths of the parents is amazing. My sister is a teacher and the stories she tells me are unbelievable.

poodlefan Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Most members of the judiciary are aware that those who perpetuate acts of cruelty on animals in their youth may escalate to making children or other adults victims in their adulthood. Sick b@stards. I hope they get time for it. Jails are full of dog lovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellbell Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 poor little pup, thats so awful it makes me really mad.... that kids that age have such violent tendancies....why ???? We don't live in a war torn country or have minority groups suffering extreme presecution to the point of subjugation, so why the violence, and its not a one off case, its endemic in some poorer socio economic groups? You know what...they need the same punishment as adults, the crime is pre-meditated, an 'adult' crime so throw them in goal with the animal overs....he, he, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
