Why I don't like people....

This story made me sick. This is from local Boston news.
http://www.boston.com/news/local/bre..._staff_18.html

I've never been much of a "people" person either. Whoever did this should have done to them what they did to the poor snake. Eye for an eye. Sick bastard! :mad:

this is why i dont like the person starting this thread.just because one or a few people nailed a snake to a poll you dislike people?there are people getting there heads chopped off and this offends you enough to dislike people?i agree that this is horrible treatment and whoever did it should be jailed but im not gonna start judging everyone.the persons responsible are bad people so dislike them,please dont target the whole human race over a snake.if you want to be a human racist do it over the envirnment that 90% of people are ripping to shreads.

sickening...

I wonder what would cause a person to do such a sick thing?

I don't understand why people are so cruel.

I should clarify that I already did not like people well before this happened. I know that there are people dying all over the world. That has nothing to do with someone doing this to a defenseless animal. Would not matter to me if it was a dog, cat or whatever. Not sure how posting this ends up with a statement about the environment. Maybe I should just be upset because the nails were not recycled? I don't understand your post I guess. Sorry if I stepped on your very sensitive feelings.

I saw that in today's Globe. Couldn't believe it. It's absolutely awful. I'm happy though to see the snake's survival and recovery from such an act - Angell is the best. Hopefully they can track down whoever did it.

Butters420, we are seeing more and more stories like this these days. I'm starting to not like people as well. If people can be so horrible to injure an animal in such a way, it speaks volumes about where our society is headed. I don't think the OP really does dislike the human race, but it does seem like people are getting more cruel by the day.

I think whoever is responsible should have nails driven through their body as well, and then they should rot in a jail cell. Anyone who can do these things to an animal is more than capable (and probably willing) to do these things to a person. I think a person's personality can somewhat be judged on how they treat animals.

I believe that evil in the world is always going to be more ostentatious than good. There are plenty of good people in the world, and there is a lot of good will out there. But that's not what makes news. Think about the schoolchildren who had the misfortune of seeing this poor animal - they told someone about it because they were probably worried, and someone was caring enough to make the right calls and contact the MSPCA. Then you have the people at Angell who dedicate their lives to saving animals like these. So really, if most people didn't care, the snake would probably be dead and still nailed to the pole.

You said it better than I could have. In most serial killer backgrounds, they find major animal cruelty as kids. It really is only a small step in the mind of someone able to do this to graduate to people. I hope the snake pulls through, cause I bet he ends up with a great keeper and has a nice life ahead of him.

wow, how incredibly sad. I hope the snake pulls through, brave little guy (or gal)! I hope they catch the person who did it! I just dont know what would provoke someone to do such a thing

Yes there are good people in the world, but we are seeing more and more bad people come out of the shadows. When I was little, I was always trying to save the baby bird that fell out of the nest, or the chipmunk attacked by a cat, but now you see kids killing snakes, lizards, household pets, ect. Its horrible.

well sure we are seeing more stories like this,the internet is a great way to find information.id be willing to bet my life this was a kids doing.as a child i trapped a snake with a rock and burned it alive.this was when i was deathly afraid of snakes and dumb.now that i have matured a little bit i love snakes and would never hurt one.my point is when some are young and ill advised they do stupid stuff,like i did.in my opinion every person deserves to be treated well and respected,now if they screw up or do something stupid then sure dislike them for doing something wrong.i just cant see how 1 person can dislike a whole species when only a percentage is bad.and i guess this 1 person is perfect to be able to judge everyone

Butters420, I don't think the OP is serious about hating the entire human race. I say that I hate people all the time, but I don't mean it. The OP is not perfect and I really don't think they think they are allowed to judge everyone. I know I am in no place to judge. I think the OP is just frustrated with all the animal abuse on t.v/online these days and was feeling a bit tired of all the cruelty.

WTF are you talking about? I'm certainly not perfect. I'm not judging anyone, btw. When I say I don't like people I think most people understand what I mean. You just don't get it, and that's fine. I might be judgemental about someone trapping a snake with rocks and burning it alive though!! Kids will be kids, but that's insane. I'm not the one to write a book about how to make friends and influence people, but come on.

i work in the ems (emergency medical service) field in philadelphia and after seein wat people can do to other people i am not at all suprised wen i see a story such as this one. terrible just terrible.......

your post should have been why i dont like most people or something along those lines.and yea burning a kritter is a little extreme,i know this.and just so you know im not a serial killer either.i like people,we are such a interesting race.now i get real upset wen i see mistreated animals that are sick but at least wen people post those kinda threads here there are people in here that can help.i just dont see the point in posting this at all.wat are you gonna do about it?anything?or just show it to people?and if its just to show people,why?

burning a snake alive? kid or no kid, thats pretty messed up.

Duhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Well I thought since the Boston Globe found it newsworthy, and not everyone would see it on their local news I thought it was postworthy. This is a reptile forum, right? Reading your posts in this thread, it's yet another reminder as to why I don't like people...oh, sorry...I meant to say MOST people. I have a hard time believing that you don't comprehend what I meant in posting this. I'm trying really hard to not offend you.

I was just reporting an f'n news story here. Do you call your local anchorman and ask him what he will be doing about the terrible things he just reported about. As for what I am going to do about it....as I said I don't think I can do anything at this point seeing as how what's done is done. I'm not going to put on the spandex and break out the cape if that's what you are asking. I'm sure the authorities will do everything they can. Simply reporting a story does not mean that I can do anything to change it, nor should I be expected to. I certainly don't have to defend myself here.

Man, I smell a stern talking to on the way.....

Please don't close this thread. I don't intend to argue back and forth...and I won't stoop to name calling. Others may want to read the story. I would hate to see it get hijacked by one person.

tough talk from someone who calls themself Butters...

i really thought it was sarcastic but if tough is how you take it,cool.and butters happens to be my fav southpark character besides cartman but thats off the subject.

Wow. Sorry your thread got hijacked waltah!. You are not in the wrong here. I hope they keep the thread alive. And you did well holding your temper. I don't think I could have responded in such a calm manner.

Butters420, I think you have taken this too far. Your remarks are uncalled for and your attitude needs some adjusting.

Thanks, Jay. I had no intention of argueing with anyone here. I'm sure I will get in trouble with Mom and Dad here, but oh well.

Was that directed at me, Butters420?

Okay enough! Nate's had to do two edits already in this thread and you are all acting like you have the god given right to muddy up this forum with your insults! Take it private, take it out of this thread or it will be shut down. Nate doesn't need to play referree to your tempers gentleman and I don't intend to either.

You've all stated your opinions, now either leave it at that or the thread is done with. You've been given enough notice that your posts were going over the line and you've decided to continue. I'd suggest it stops now.

I apologize if I offended anyone here. And Nate, I won't give you a hard time.
Jay, you da man. It's a good thing Jas didnt read this thread! LOL

I believe that evil in the world is always going to be more ostentatious than good. There are plenty of good people in the world, and there is a lot of good will out there.

i must have skipped over this post.i agree 1000% with this.there is definatly not enough good in the news.if there was(which there will never be) then alot of people could see wat they dont get a chance to.

....... have nothing nice to say ....

Well i hope they catch the idiots who did that :mad: :mad: :mad:

that is so wrong, & cruel... ugh makes me sick!!! I am an ALL animal/reptile lover!! I like ppl, but not the kind who do things like that!!!

In many cultures, snakes are bad things to be killed on sight. While in some cases, this makes sense (rural areas where there are poisonous snakes all over the place) in most cases it makes none at all. Like this case.

Some people are just mean. Nothing gets me upset like deliberate animal cruelty.

The American culture does not teach to kill snakes on site.
Rural areas with HOT snakes do not deal with them by nailing them alive to a post.
In this case, it is animal cruelty done by a twisted person. Animal cruelty totally pisses me off. I don't relate to children being cruel to animals (where's the parental education) and I don't relate to teens and/or adults being cruel.
The level of disrespect for animals, save our own animal species, is rampant. So many going extinct because of the decimation of their habitats to make room for the overpopulation of human animals. That outright cruelty, in your face cruelty, flagrant and intentionally cruelty happens is beyond what I can even begin to comprehend...... :mad:

Why do you get to decide what his post should be about? What is the relevance that you as an individual don't get the point ? When did the memo come out with the requirement of taking action of some kind in order to pass along a news story? :confused: I found the story newsworthy and I hope that the perpetrator is caught.

whoever did this should seriously get counseling, and do some time! sick, sadistic, mental loonies. what has the world come to. You know I saw some videos on youtube of some stupid ass kids doing stuff like that. With some sort of king snake, I couldn't tell what kind it was because they were throwing it against a rock for fun. Having a great time too. Sickening! I might be able to pull the video up. But I don't think you want to see it.
