JoeyRamone 0 #1 October 3, 2005 THIS MAKES ME SICK AND THAT TAKES A LOT TO MAKE ME FEEL LIKE THIS Hit the link so you can see the picture of the dog with a huge hook in his noise: http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2005450117,00.html Dogs used as shark bait Cruel ... dog with hook through snout FULL NEWS INDEX By IAN HEPBURN STRAY dogs are being skewered on hooks and dragged behind boats as live shark bait, The Sun can shockingly reveal. The cruel practice takes place on French-controlled Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean, where Prince William spent two holidays. A six-month-old labrador pup was recently found ALIVE with a huge double hook through its snout - like the dog above - and another through a leg. The pup was found in a coastal creek and is thought to have somehow freed itself from a fishing line. But other dogs and kittens have been chomped up and swallowed by sharks. The RSPCA plans to petition the French government, demanding an end to the hideous torture. TELL us what you think of the hideous torture by emailing us at talkback@the-sun.co.uk. You can sign the RSPCA petition Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr2mk1g 10 #4 October 3, 2005 The French authorities have a responsability to stop it now they know of it and to punish those responsible... but I'm not sure if it's exactly all their fault: http://www.reunionmagic.net/images/RM%20Locator.jpg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

popsjumper 2 #8 October 3, 2005 Seems like a good way to reduce the stray dog/cat population at the same time as bagging a big-ass shark although chum and a couple of ladyfish works well too.My reality and yours are quite different.

tbrown 26 #10 October 3, 2005 Maybe we should hate the French for helping to bail out our American Revolution. Without French arms, French gunpowder, some French troops, and a pile of French francs, the Founding Fathers would have ended their lives on the end of a British rope. Maybe they were being cynical to use us against the Brits, and maybe we would've freed the slaves in 1828 along with the rest of the British empire, but there would be no America as we know it without the help France gave us.

That would be appropriate as the trend in the world IS to hate those that help you. Both on a national and local scale. ...

Yes, I thank them for that assistance, even if their true motive was really just to weaken their arch-rival, the British. Then there were a few french resistance fighters in WWII. Other than that, they've been crap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kallend 2,027 #18 October 4, 2005 France has lower infant mortality rate than the US. So, for that matter, does Cuba! In fact, almost every other developed nation (including the evil ones with awful socialized medicine), has lower infant mortality than the US. www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/rankorder/2091rank.html...
