Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / May 2006I need to have a Rant!!!
I cannot believe how most men can be so bloody cruel! I work in a distribution centre we employ 72 men in there. I have quite a few of the lads that bring me baby Pigeons or Doves that have fell out of the nest on the floor in the Warehouse, but on Friday one of the men brought me a baby Dove that was absolutely petrified and he then informed me that he had just taken it off of two braindeads that had decided that it would be a good football (BASTARDS). The poor little sod couldn't fly so could not get away, he nearly got into a fight. He whisked it up off the floor and stuck it in his jacket and gave it to me. I Cried!! It had pooed itself because it was so frightened and it kept putting its wings up, he said it was doing that when they were kicking it, I suppose to shield its face. I was so f******g angry I flipped. I had the Site manager and the Human Resources Manager in the office and told them in no uncertain terms I would not tolerate this brainless behaviour. And I then put in a Official Complaint that will have to be investigated. I have named the two involved and they are now on a written warnings. Why oh Why do people have to be so cruel? What was the reasoning behind it? How could someone do that to defenceless baby? The baby is doing well at a rescue centre in Northampton and he is feeding well and is on medication for all the bruising on it's chest from the kicking. If only I could win the Lottery and set up an animal rescue centre. I'm sorry it is nothing to do with our little Ratties but it is just not right and I wanted to let off steam and you guys I know will listen.

I think that the best thing that you could have done, except for getting the bird to the rescue centre of course, was to bring the incident to the attention of the people you did. Many times people don't want to 'rock the boat' with their coworkers, and so they decide not to escalate these instances to the correct management. I personally, would go one step further, however. I would contact the rescue centre or the SPCA and make them aware that your management has been made aware of this situation and that you have filed a formal complaint. It would be nice if the bastards got fined for animal cruelty on top of everything else. I mean really, we have to put up with an expected amount of stress and unpleasantness in our work environments sometimes, but how dare those idiots feel that they can get away with pulling that sort of thing. >I cannot believe how most men can be so bloody cruel! > I work in a distribution centre we employ 72 men in there.

That is bloody disgusting, animal cruelty really makes my blood boil. There was a similar thing on the news recently where a few Bernard Mathew's employees were playing football with live turkeys - it was secretly filmed and it made me sick to the stomach to see. I would do exactly the same to them and a bit more. However people can be so cruel is beyond me. I understand how upsetting it must have been and good for you for putting in a complaint - those heartless b*st**ds deserve everything they get, which unfortunately probably won't be much - hopefully law of karma will sort em out.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > informed me that he had just taken it off of two braindeads that had decided > that it would be a good football The actions of some people do make you wonder how a human being can be so devoid of any compassion, and sepair of humanity. And then the actions of people like you make you thankful there are people who are brave anough to stand up against the first kind. Bloody good on you. I hope the dove makes it boglin <snipped but read> I agree that what these people did was disgusting. However I'm not sure that "most men" would commit an act like this. Most men, in my experience, wouldn't be so cruel. And there are cruel women too. Aside from this point, I would like to say that I applaud you for taking this incident up with your employers - not only the right thing to do but also a brave one, seeing as these particular guys seem not to care about suffering inflicted upon others, bird or human. I hope the dove does well at the shelter. Rosemary No not all men are like that my husband for one. If you saw him with the boys, they run all over him they clean his mostash and pull all the hairs on his chest it is a sight to see. He was speachless that it could happen. Thank you the little dove is doing well and feeding so it makes me feel like I have done some good. And let me tell you the fight will go on at work! One of the men gave me a really I Hate YOU look. But I can look after myself and people like him don't worry me in the slightest. The fight for animal rights is strong in our house and it will keep getting stronger as my children have been taught the proper treatment of animals and that whether they are what most people call flying rats or any other critter needs a helping hand I will be there. Thanks for all your comments.

Sadly we are sometimes put in these horrid situations because we may be the only ones able to help. As to why God even puts breath into arseholes who do this I will never know. I often think maybe they have something fundamentally missing in their psyches? Imagine being married to someone who has that perpensity for cruelty, I would question their ability to love etc. . . . Now you have me going.... Good for you Jackie, all going well there will be a happy ending for the wee bird. God Bless Kate Just an update on the Baby Dove! He is now strong and fighting fit and will be ready to fly the nest at any pint this week. He is being released with about 6 others all in the park near by to the Rescue Centre. Thank you for all your kinds words, but if people like us didn't do what we do what would the world be like? As for Marrying one! no thanks. I always said to my mum that I would not marry a Football Fanatic, a Butcher or anything to do with Abbotiores or Any Hunty Type and luckily I got one that doesn't like Football and hates anything to do with Hunting of any kind and has never been in the business of slaughtering, So I am happy with that. As you may of guessed I am a Vegetarian and proud of it!!!!

I'm the same could never be involved with a man into anything to do with the meat trade, and I deplore hunting. I keep getting onto my dad for going fishing. My fiance does, however, love football, and rugby (ack!), but you can't have everything! Tracey _______________ When a man wants to murder an animal, it's called sport, when the animal wants to murder him, it is called ferocity. ~ George Bernard Shaw > I cannot believe how most men can be so bloody cruel! I hope the 'most' isn't correct. As to being cruel, it has its advantages. A cruel person might have 'spoken' to those two guys after work with a baseball bat, which to be honest they'd probably understand more than a warning. Not that I'd recommend doing this, obviously. SignatureMichael m r o z a t u k g a t e w a y d o t n e t I did ask them whether they would like to see if they could kick me about the same, but for some unknown reason they declined the offer. I have been working at my present job for 6 years and all of them do know me very well and my views on animal cruelty and that I am not the sort of person to upset. Chris the man who brought the Dove to me, did enlighten the Braindead few that they do not want to make me angry. I go green bit like the Hulk!!!!
