Boronia Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Maybe this should go in the protected Forum above. how come the Xoloitzcuintle looks like that? Why is that man holding Sweepea Rambo like that?

Kirislin Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 geeze I wish I hadn't looked at these photos. The dog with the short back looks alot like the Akita named Pig posted recently. Might be the same condition, and the creep holding the poor little (blind?) crested by the skin on its back!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leah82 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 the winner appears to have some serious health issues as well for a supposed shitzu x chi. How is this even legal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Some of those were the worlds unhealthiest dogs. I could let my dog's skin allergies flare up and have a go - if it wasn't cruel. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavNrott Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Am I missing something? Why would anyone want to enter their dog in this appalling competition? Is there money at the end of it or something? Surely there must be some incentive. As for Jason Wurtz holding his dog by the skin of its back, animal cruelty anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosetta Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 There is a cash prize, which the winner said would be spent on vet fees. Some of the owners are genuine, care for their dogs, and want to raise awareness of animal welfare issues etc. But I find those that treat the animals as objects of ridicule just despicable really.

flame ryder Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 The dog in the 3rd pic looks like a pretty normal Chihuahua to me (unless I'm not seeing something?) The 4th pic really upset me. He is holding that dog like I would hold something distasteful, and looking at the poor dog in the same way. What a horrible man, what a horrible way to treat an animal Wish I hadn't looked either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelpiecuddles Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) I saw a thing about the winner, apparently it's a rescue dog and is a cruelty case that was burned by it's previous owner as a pup. The dog is apparently well now and recovered but is missing a lot of hair as a result. As for that man holding the crested like that Edited June 23, 2014 by kelpiecuddles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavNrott Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Oh that poor little dog. How on earth could they encourage this cruel piece of shyte and his appalling treatment of his dog by declaring him the winner. If those running this stupid contest were even half way responsible they would have called the RSPCA or whatever their equivalent is, on this cruel b@stard. The proof of his cruelty is on record for all to see. This idiotic contest should be banned and the idiots entering their dogs should be ordered to receive some psychiatric assistance.
