Horrifying moment construction workers build a ROAD over a ‘sleeping dog that died in agony as burning tarmac is poured over him’
The tragic hound was buried alive by a building crew who were laying a road near the Taj Mahal in Agra, India this week

HAS ANYONE ON HERE GOT THE WORDS?

What evil bastards. :shrug:

[AnnieK]

Omg, not read the article as that's too upsetting. Karma better come for them and quick :sad: Heartless, evil bastards

[Kazanne]

Jesus Kirk,that has upset me so much,just WHY ? could they not just wake it and see it off,I guess this is a street dog,how bloody bad can we as a species get.

[Cal.]

I don’t have words for this.

[Nicky91]

:yuk: :yuk:


death penalty for those disgusting vile nasty lowlife scum :oh:

[arista]

Yes it typical of India.
Sadly.

[Kazanne]

I always though they were quite kind to dogs in India as I have seen people feeding the street dogs and some sanctuaries take them in .Shame on these bastards though that did this.

Yes kind to dogs
But the road workers would not stop for it,
off to the next job, etc.

[Cherie]

I can't open this because it is too awful

[Vicky.]

Thats actually vile, even just the title of this thread turned my stomach

[Vicky.]

Kirk I have spoilered the photo as, its a bit shocking. I know its clear what the thread is about by the title but people won't really be expecting that photo when they open the thread

[Glenn.]

I’m not reading that. I already know enough and I feel sick.

[T*]

That’s beyond horrific.
I hope what they did to that dog gets done to them

[Amy Jade]

My friend told me about this. I can't watch it but that is barbaric and I hope all involved suffer just as much as that poor animal.

I may be looked down upon for saying that but people who show such disregard for an innocent animal do not deserve life.

me neither, my stomach just turns around seeing horrible things like this

[Livia]

It's stuff like this that makes me hope that when we come to the end of our lives we have to account for ourselves. I can't look at the link... even without looking I'm going to be thinking about this for ages.

[Ashley.]

How many more animals have to be murdered without justification by humans before we can all unanimously agree that we aren't better than them?

+1 :clap1: well said


animals can't talk themselves, let us speak for them, and defend them from these vile nasty lowlife people

[Denver]

The problem here is there are no laws preventing animal cruelty in places like that.

The world as a whole need to put Animal Cruelty on the same scale they do to global warming

[The Slim Reaper]

Doesn't make it any better, but that dog was probably dead before they poured tarmac over it. No way any living thing doesn't wake up instantly.

The dog was asleep and also do you realise how hot Tarmac is? they poured it over his legs there was no way he was getting up from that

[Beso]

Gawd....i was just about to have a hot dog for lunch as well....NOT NOW THOUGH.

[Twosugars]

Can't look or read it. Just the thought of it makes me sick.

[Twosugars]

Very well said Adam!

[The Slim Reaper]

Yeah, I know how hot tarmac is, but I also know bodies have inbuilt defense mechanisms to prevent them just taking pain. Receptors instantly jolt the body away. He wouldn't have made it after they did it, and I'm not defending their actions, but it's just my opinion.

Yeah, you're probably right, I hope that the dog was dead already :(

[Tom4784]

Yeah, I thought that tbh.

No way a stray dog would sleep through construction work happening right next to it if it wasn't already dead. I doubt it would have slept out in the open either since that's more of a trait of domesticated animals rather than strays. Stray cats and dogs tend to find a place they deem safe before sleeping.

It's grotesque that the construction workers didn't think to move the carcass and just worked over it but I doubt very much that the dog was alive to begin with.

[Twosugars]

Read it, people claimed dog was still alive in the morning,
Btw the work was done at night in case you couldn't read the report

[Tom4784]

I read it, still doubt it went down as the people said. If the dog was still alive when the roadworks began then he'd have gotten out of there, if for some reason he didn't, he would have died long before the morning commuters spotted him.

My dogs are domesticated as hell but they'll still jump up if they hear the slightest bit of movement near them, I just can't believe that a stray dog would sleep through roadworks. It makes no sense to me.

[Twosugars]

I hope you're right.

Not necessarily, on the Indian version of Pog Dogs the street dogs just flop down more or less anywhere, they are used to traffic and noise

[Tom4784]

Still doubt they'd be in such a deep sleep that this could happen tbh. Stray dogs in India still have survival instincts even if they are used to the noise and if they are used to traffic, they'd know better than to sleep on a road.

Agreed, story is BS, there are no indications that the dog struggled at all. Tarmac was poured over a dog that was already dead at the side of the road - which is pretty grim to be fair, but even there I think the most likely explanation is that they didn't see it - and the rest of the story is pure sensationalism.

Tarmac doesn't go down solid and there's absolutely no way that any animal doesn't jump a mile into the air when it's been burned (and hence, at least partially out of the tarmac, which would leave debris).

[Cal.]

I hope he was dead before this happened because it would have been agony :(

[Cherie]

I hope he was dead before this happened because it would have been agony :(

Me too :sad:

[The Slim Reaper]

Time to let sleeping dogs lie.

[Niamh.]

Time to let sleeping dogs lie.

too soon

[Nancy.]

Bloody hell, that's horrific.

I don't understand how anyone can hurt an animal. It's barbaric.

[MTVN]

That's a kinda strange comparison

[bots]

One has to ask what the agenda was of the person taking the photo, because the photo in itself doesn't indicate how the dog died. Animals die all the time, accidents happen all the time. People are being fed a narrative without any proof of context.

[Denver]

That's a kinda strange comparison

Animals are just important to the planets as global warming problems

[Kazanne]

I did wonder why ,as soon as that tarmac hit its legs that the dog would not automatically jump up and try and flee, it's a strange one,my dog sleeps soundly but as soon as he hears the tiniest noise he is awake, we will never know but I truly hope it was dead before the tarmac was laid.

[Marsh.]

Of all the comparisons to make though - global warming?

[Denver]

Yes Humans have destroyed animals just like they have the planet

Maybe it was shock :( like too much pain for the brain to handle when it was asleep, it sounds horrendous and I feel sick

[T*]

accidental clicked the spoiler tag :( ****s sake

[Kazanne]

Yes,could have been or the dog was hurt before the tarmac was laid,poor,poor animal.

[Tom4784]

I think it's safe to say the dog was dead beforehand, thankfully.

[Marsh.]

Looks like maybe it was hit by a car and laid dead at the side of the road?

[JerseyWins]

Omg the pic is heartbreaking :( I'd think & hope the dog was already dead but poor dog if it wasn't (poor dog either way, RIP </3)

[jaxie]

Not necessarily, on the Indian version of Pog Dogs the street dogs just flop down more or less anywhere, they are used to traffic and noise

Also it could have been sick or injured.

It's a horrible story, even if dead why would they integrate it I to the road? Must be mentally challenged.

[Barry.]

Hate this. How nasty and so low.

[Jake.]

Heartbreaking

Wanting to go viral or something, no doubt.

Selfies with dead things are all the rage these days, fast track to being a z-leb.

Really doubt they actually cared about the dog. But again, this is pretty usual, look at that guy not long ago who was taking selfies with some woman who had been hit by a train :umm2:

[Maru]

No, they don't.

[Ashley.]

Whether they killed the dog or not, they showed complete disregard for the animal by not even bothering to move them, or give them a decent resting place. Again, I'm not at all surprised.

[Maru]

I hope you're right.

Same... but it's not like these cases don't happen. Sadly. I was following a rescue on social medi where a dog that was shot up with a BB gun was tossed into a storm drain... they got it to the ER and put up a fund for them, but it died unfortunately.

There's a lot of stories like this that do not make the news at all. Just too many of them... like never put up a dog for free on social media, it can be picked up and put into a dog fighting ring. There are some that pick them up and then brag to the person who gave them the free dog what they were actually intending the whole time...

There was something going around that I saw, I'm not sure if it made 'TiBB news' or not... But there's an ever-growing group of people who buy pitbulls from animal shelters and murder them. And according to them, they are "doing a good deed". It's absurd.

That is horrible, but not surprising. We have a high stray pop, year-round mating season, and we put down about 70K a year (officially)... as horrible as that is, at least they are being taken off the street and not abused in such a manner. They are given a humane death. Recently, though, they opened a transport shelter so they could start to send them up north... where there is a shortage there.

My uncle helped supervise at the SPCA and he said there were times he put down 60/day. It made him leave that field altogether.

I only have my two, and I wish I could fit more, but there are so many that need loving homes... I do what I can by donating items/$$, but it will never feel like enough. On the up side, we have a large rescue community.

[Blue cat]

It's unbearable to think about it. Are the construction workers going to be punished?
