what the heck is wrong with people?
this guy should never ever be allowed to have an animal again in his life.
I ask that question too often these days, Roughseas. I shouldn't have to.
Perhaps the owners should be locked up for 8 days without food or water, and left with injuries...
We domesticated these animals, and now it's our responsibility to ensure they are cared for properly, from breeding to old age. Some folks here don't care for my views on the subjects of canines, but we spent 30 some odd years working with a breed that we left in better condition than we found. We maintain our reputation as having the finest quality within that breed.
If we're going to interfere with nature, we have a moral obligation, a responsibility, a duty, to follow nature's edicts, and do it right.
I will never understand how anyone can allow the suffering of any injured living thing. There are options... either help it, or put it out of its misery.
Fire away... I'm beyond caring what the group of "breeding attackers" say... and to that end, I express my displeasure at how this poor dog was initially treated, and am glad someone cared enough to help it.
And, no, it should not go back to its original owners... they failed to get help in a timely manner. In fact, they should be fined, made to pay all the bills incurred, pay for the rescue... and be investigated to see how they're treating any other animals they may have.
This kind of thing angers me no end. Would they have also left a lost child abandoned in the mountains, and just forgot he or she existed? Domesticated animals, much like children, are completely dependent upon our care!
What is wrong with people, indeed!
..... "I don't want to give her up - I love her - but those people risked life and limb to get her out of there, and that has got to be worth something," he said.
Ortolani was climbing with the 19-year-old son of a friend.
Bad weather was moving in, and the canine, whose feet were blistered, was unable to walk.
When his climbing companion's water supply broke, Ortolani decided it was time to come down. The two men tried to carry the 112-pound dog over the rocks for two hours.
He decided to leave her there and help his partner down, he added. Ortolani called a friend who contacted the Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office but was told the region was too dangerous and that the rescue doesn't rescue animals.
end quote
So after trying to carry the 112 lb dog, all this at 13,000+ feet altitude, for two hours, in nasty weather, he left the dog to help the son of his friend down the mountain.
Now stupid to climb a mountain with your dog? Yes. Deciding between the dog and a human in lousy weather, well, I dunno. But he got lots of death threats anyway
Here is a link that might be useful: link
david, firstthe guy he was "helping" down was 19,not a child.
But the main point is not that he left the dog up there,but that he did nothing to help it afterwards.
He didn't even put up a notice on the mountain hiking board.
NOTHING, he left it to die
But he's not getting the dog back, right? This man is despicable. He has to help a 19 year old down the mountain? A guy of 19 is at the prime of his life. Together they should have been able to carry the dog. But if this was not possible, the next day he should have gone back with equipment to carry the dog along with a friend to help. But he did NOTHING. What a creep. I'm glad he's in fear for his life.maybe he knows how his dog felt for all those days alone. Is the couple who rescued him keeping him?
I don't think he should get the dog back either.
You have to be prepared for the worst to some extent, especially when you have live beings depending on you.
He should have never taken the dog ... should have considered, hey what if I need to carry it ... will I be able to? When you know someone is depending on you for thier life, thier everything, you can't get yourself into "unfixable" situations like that.
He made a really really bad judgement call, and then compounded it by not going back for the dog, which is where his culpability level just starts to soar imo. Not sure why he didn't go back, sometimes people have a hard time fixing a mistake because they are having a hard time dealing with the fact that they made it in the first place.
Long story short, I'm trying not to judge him too harshly since I am not that outdoorsy and may not fully grasp the challenges involved. But total agreement that he doesn't deserve another dog, or particularly to have that one back.
Getting a 110 lb dog that can't walk off a 14,000 foot mountain in bad weather. You couldn't just carry it in your arms. Carrying a 110 lb anything on your back over rough terrain is pretty risky as well, so you'd need some kind of stretcher set up and at least two people.
unfortunately for him, abc news is now reporting that the professional rescue team didnt' tell him the weather was too bad, it told him they could only rescue humans.
So,the rescue team is confirming his story that he tried to get help for the dog?
I can sort of understand someone taking a pet with them when they later realize they shouldn't have.
That's not the issue for me. If some perfect strangers had the where with all to get the dog rescued, why couldn't the owner have also. Sorry, calling up a couple of government agencies and getting a 'no' answer doesn't qualify.
He was lazy and just left the dog there to die...he and his 19-year old friend.
He'll go out and get another puppy and do the same thing. In some places I read where the guy was 29 and other places they said 31. And he looks like a big dude judging from the photos I've seen. And from what I read, he just expected them to hand the dog over to him.
As far as I'm concerned he should be registered as an animal abuser...just like sexual molesters. Oh that's right..."it's only a dog."
You have to appreciate the volunteer mountain rescue people-they go up and risk their lives all the time for people who are facing a Darwin Moment-but in this case the poor dog-who but a total idiot takes a dog into that sort of terrain? Then there was the the fact that they turned back because the 19 yr old 'broke' his water supply-say what? What on earth was he carrying his water in? I am guessing it was a good thing it was in something breakable since the weather was turing-brainless boobs-too dumb to have a dog.
'broke' his water supply-say what
Ah, this touches on a rather sensitive subject chez the '52er backpacking horde and their Dad. No longer do you need just a plastic or metal water bottle to carry water around in, you need a whole system which includes a bladder you stick in your pack, a tube that runs through the spiffy holes and loops, then a mouth piece. All of which will cost you about $40. And of course you need a special pack to carry it in.
DS finally threw in the towel this past trip, he was doing a technical climb up the fools 'alternative' route of a 14er, and the thing broke, filling his pants with water, and then he was out of luck, water wise, having to get some from his climbing buddy. He has now decided that the effort to take a bottle out of the pack and drink it isn't too much to ask.
They break all the time. They are almost impossible to sterilize. They are the equivalent of replacing good old yellow wooden #2 pencils that cost a dime with mechanical pencils that require special leads and cost $5 and break constantly.
It was a mistake to initially take the dog up there. And if you needed to get the 19 year old down, fine. But the very next day, YOU go up with friends and bring the dog down in a stretcher. You don't leave him there to die. Did he ONCE think about the bleeding starving dog?
He only wants the dog back now because the dog is a star and he's not. He thinks he'll be a star now, the idiot. I wish there was a "like" prompt on this forum because I could have just checked it off on most of these posts and not said a word. LOL
That would be my thought, Lily. Any place that holds possible dangers for human beings obviously holds dangers for pets, too. I'd never entertain the idea of taking a dog I couldn't lift and carry, myself, up a mountain with me. It defies common sense.
But then, the world is filled with all kinds... and I find that common sense is not always in decent supply.

"Starved For Help" is the second episode of the episodic graphic adventure The Walking Dead, based on Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead comic book series. It was originally released by its developer Telltale Games on June 27, 2012 for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3, and on August 29, 2012 for iOS.
Lee Everett, Kenny, and Mark, an Air Force employee who recently joined the group that was introduced during the previous episode, are out hunting when they encounter two high school students, Ben and Travis, and their teacher David, who ran into a bear trap. Their screams attract walkers nearby. Lee tries to pry open the trap, but realizes he is not able to do so in time. Lee is forced to decide whether to chop off David's leg or leave him to die. Regardless of the choices, David will pass out from blood loss or Travis will accidentally get shot by Mark. While David/Travis succumb to the walkers Lee, Kenny, and Mark bring Ben and the wounded David/Travis back to the motel where the rest of Lee's entourage is staying.
Back at the motel, Lilly becomes enraged that they have more mouths to feed. Blaming Lee, Lilly, who has been rationing the group's food, transfers the responsibility to him. Depending on who he distributes the food to, his relationships with other characters change due to this task. After the food is distributed, David/Travis dies from his wound and reanimates as a walker that is quickly killed by the group. Ben reveals that everyone is infected with the walker virus and if they die without head trauma, they will become walkers.
The group soon encounters two brothers, Andrew and Danny St. John, who offer to trade food for fuel. Lee, Mark, Carley/Doug, and Ben head to the St. Johns' dairy farm, which is protected by an electric fence, to examine the location. The four then meet the farm's matron, Brenda, who offers to invite the entire group over for dinner. Afterwards, Carley/Doug and Ben return to the motel to tell the group of the invitation, while Andrew asks Lee and Mark to help them clear their electric fence of dead walkers. While doing so, Mark gets hit by an arrow shot by bandits. Mark and Lee hide behind a tractor and run back to the farmhouse. Just as Lee's group (minus Carley/Doug and Ben) approach the farm, Andrew reveals his family made a deal with the bandits to give them food in exchange for extra protection from them. Mark is taken inside by Brenda to receive care, while Lee and Danny attempt to search and eliminate the bandits' camp.
At the abandoned camp, Lee finds a video recorder. Lee and Danny then encounter a woman named Jolene, who had recently lost her daughter. After threatening the two, Jolene is shot, either by Lee or Danny, before she was about to reveal something about the farm. After returning to the farm, Kenny relays his suspicions about a room in the back of a barn. Lee breaks open the lock to the room, which is revealed to be a bloody abattoir. Andrew reassures them, saying that the room is used for skinning animals.
Lee heads back to the farmhouse. Suspicious of what's going on, especially as Mark hasn't been seen in a while, he asks to go wash his hands. He heads upstairs and finds piles of medical equipment on a bookshelf and a hidden room. Lee quickly finds a way into the room and finds Mark lying on the floor with his legs cut off. Mark then implores Lee and his group not to eat the St. Johns' food, which consist of human meat. Lee runs downstairs and attempts to prevent Clementine from eating, and then reveals the truth to the whole group. The St. John's do not deny this, and they lock the group (save for Katjaa and Duck) up in a meat locker behind the abattoir (now clearly a slaughterhouse) in the barn.
While in the locker, Larry has a heart attack. Lee is asked by Lilly to save Larry, while Kenny, thinking that Larry has died, wants to kill Larry before he reanimates as a walker. In the end, Kenny smashes Larry's head with a salt lick, leaving Lilly to mourn. Lee unlocks a nearby air conditioning unit using coins and sends Clementine through the vent to open the door to the room. Lee and Kenny find weapons in the slaughterhouse and hide in a barn stall. They are found by Danny and a fight ensues. Danny ends up trapped in his own bear trap and asks the group to keep him alive so they could eat him. Lee then must make the choice as to whether to kill Danny or not.
As Carley/Doug and Ben return to the farm, Lee heads to the farmhouse, where Brenda threatens to kill Katjaa. However, Brenda is killed by a reanimated Mark and Katjaa escapes. Lee then encounters Andrew outside, who has held Duck hostage. Lee attempts to grab Andrew's rifle, but is unsuccessful. Andrew then drags Lee toward the farm's electric fence. Lee is able to free himself of Andrew's grip and proceeds to punch him in the face several times before walking away. He is then given the choice to either kill Andrew or leave him be. The farm's electric generator then shuts off, powering the farm's defenses off, and the farm is overrun by walkers as Lee and the group leave.
Later, the group finds a stash of supplies in an abandoned car. Lee is given the choice to take the supplies or not, but regardless of his personal decision, the group rushes in and rummages through the car looking for what they can get. Carley/Doug gives some batteries to Lee, who uses it to play the video on the video recorder he found earlier. It reveals that a well-meaning Jolene had been spying on the group, especially Clementine. She speaks aloud that the group would be safe from the bandits as long as they kept getting food from the St. Johns. But with the farm overrun, the bandits will now be an imminent threat.

This scent smells quite similar to Brit for men.

Iceberg is often unfairly compared to higher end fragrances, if you approach it for what it is, decent smelling scents at a low cost, than you are less likely to be disappointed by what is offered. My opinion of course.

This one is interesting...I love juxtaposition of the floral notes (rose and vanilla) against the spice (cardamom and sage) and finally the cedar and patchouli combo. Its kinda what I would imagine if Gucci PH I and Dior Homme had a love child. Its starts dry and spicy, but quickly warms up to something slightly sweet and soft. I love the smell but I find myself wondering what's up with the volume; they could have boosted the projection more and it still would not be offensive. Anyways, I thought something might be wrong with my juice (purchased a boxless tester from Fragrancenet), so I order another, non-tester bottle from FragranceX.com and was much more pleased with what I received. All in all, I give this scent a thumbs up for smell, but I leave this caveat: the performance is inconsistent and will probably vary greatly from person to person.
