If I was the cops I&#8217;d be questioning her, because it&#8217;d make more sense that the dumb broad set it on fire accidentally or it fell into the fireplace or knocked the gill on itself and she made up the whole story.\u00a0 BUT&#8230;fine&#8230;I am a callous person and her little fairly tale may be true that someone who was just dying to burn up a dog saw a crime of opportunity.\u00a0 Whatever&#8230;her dog got hurt (because she wasn&#8217;t keeping an eye on it) and that is pretty damn sad, and I&#8217;m glad it&#8217;s doing better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">And all of you giving me the finger because I don&#8217;t luuuuuuve little doggies and must hate them because I think this flyer idea is stupid, I gave a dog CPR once and saved it&#8217;s life so F*CK YOU.\u00a0 Unless you have swapped spit with someone else&#8217;s dog you are\u00a0 BELOW ME on loving little doggies.\u00a0 Pure and simple\u00a0 There is ME&#8230;up here&#8230;saving a dogs life with CPR &#8230;and you &#8230;down here&#8230;buying\u00a0 your dog a sweater.\u00a0 ( on a side note, I don&#8217;t think you are supposed to breath into the victims mouth anymore in between pushing against the chest&#8230;you&#8217;re just supposed to push against the chest&#8230;but whatever the thing lived and I am better than you)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Now then&#8230;Who the F*ck are those flyers for?!\u00a0 Who&#8217;s supposed to call the number?\u00a0\u00a0 The dog?\u00a0 The guy beating the dog?\u00a0 Shall I check the neighbors dog for bruises or ask my dog to keep an ear open when he and the other dogs are talking and alert me if any of the other dogs mention being abused at home?\u00a0 Or does she think people beat their dogs on the front lawn in broad daylight?\u00a0 Shall I put my dog to human translator on so I can ask any dogs that appear skittish?\u00a0 How the f*ck would anyone know that someone else is abusing their own dog?\u00a0 Do pet abusers just beat their dogs while walking them through the neighborhood like a doggie Baton death march? Maybe this is for the people who didn&#8217;t realize setting a dog on fire was bad&#8230;and now after reading the flyer the next time they see someone setting a dog on fire they&#8217;ll call the police.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">By the way&#8230;it takes the police half an hour to arrive if you call 911 and tell them you are being murdered, and that&#8217;s not because they are lazy&#8230;that&#8217;s because you are the 30th person in line being murdered&#8230;It is summertime in Milwaukee.\u00a0 It&#8217;s very cold here most of the year and we stay indoors then do all our murdering between July and October ( I&#8217;m also not making that up) .\u00a0 So by all means call the police and see if they get there before the dog dies of old age.\u00a0 Actually&#8230;no&#8230;do not do that.\u00a0 Do NOT call 911 because someone is abusing their dog.\u00a0 Call 911 when it is a life or death emergency.\u00a0 Do not tie up the GD EMERGENCY PHONE LINE ABOUT A DOG BEING ABUSED.\u00a0 When you somehow see that you call the human society&#8230;they are the people who handle NON HUMAN VIOLENCE.\u00a0 911 IS FOR HUMANS.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">30,000 flyers is what this idiot wants to post across the MKE area, I know because I have heard the interview 30,000 times.\u00a0 AND she is going to make them look like &#8220;lost dog&#8221; flyers&#8230;well I sure hope nobody ACTUALLY loses their pet while this dumb asshole is littering the city.\u00a0\u00a0 I noticed on the website that they only actually put up 700 flyers&#8230;which makes me curious about the remaining 23,000 flyers.\u00a0 Are they sitting in boxes in her garage?\u00a0 Because that&#8217;s a fire hazard. I will also need video tape that they posted 700 flyers in the area they mention because, for those of you not living in Milwaukee,\u00a0 that is about 70 flyers per square block.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">I&#8217;ve heard this broads interview enough times to know it by heart, yet have not heard ONCE that half of their playlist is going to be live at a music fest a short drive from here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">I can&#8217;t\u00a0 find the link to the &#8220;black professionals meet up&#8221;\u00a0 event but I&#8217;ve heard that about a zillion times too.
