PetFinder Wank
Sadly, the really spectacular wanks on the PetFinder forums tend to get locked and/or humanely euthanized by the moderators before they can be seen and loved by us wankers. But here's a sample to give you an idea of the kinds of things that go on.

Simple question from the OP about dogs in wheelchairs.

Most everybody chimes in with some story about the dog they knew in a wheelchair who got along great and how, if the dog's not in pain and the owner is up for it, a wheelchair can make for a relatively happy doggy life for a paralyzed pooch.

Then RESCUEWENCH chimes in with
i guess its a toss up - on how you would perfer to live..personally i have a GSD - if he developed any spinal problems ( breed has genetic problems with them also) i would take him to the vet - hold him in my arms kiss him good bye and euth him.

.

i would not want to live in a wheel chair - and would not want my dog to either.'


now a million people will freak out because a million people live in wheel chairs and have fulfilling lives..kudos for them..

but again we are talking about a dog here .

not a human that has the CHOICE.

i wouldnt do it for any of my dogs.


i dated an X jockey--who was in a wheel chair - paralyzed for the rest of his life..he was ok with it..he was a cool guy.

but frankly - IMO-- i will not suffer my dog to scuff around with a wheeled backend.

.

i am a FIRM beliver DEATH is NOT the end but a beginning. and - life is the real --heck--.

and ..that is JMHO.


Someone asks her to clarify her stance - which seems to be rather unusual, and gets more of the same, with

i would have never put that fine schhIII, PPD KKL1- dog in a friggen wheel chair! he would not have like that at all.


Some people say she is entitled to her opinion, but are baffled by it. Some people think that she is projecting her own stigma about wheelchairs onto her dogs. Rescuewench decides that people telling inspirational stories about wheelchair-bound dogs are insulting her, pisses off a diabetic, makes unwise remarks about crackheads (schhIII, PPD KKL1 are apparently references to guard-dog training), and eventually pulls the 'I have cancer' card.

Everyone else still thinks that doggy wheelchairs are fine if the dog's not in pain and the owner is up for it.
