Puppy Stolen from Homeless Man by Animals Rights Group
Anyone seen the video?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pKb29VHwb8
The group, Cause Animale Nord, are defending themselves saying the puppy was drugged and abused in order to be used to beg money.
They put the dog up for adoption for about 200 Euros, available for pickup the day after.

You can tell that's a lie in the video.
Drugged dogs are passive and do not react, but this dog was normal and well-maintained.
The man who would treat his dog like commodity would be angry in that situation, not acting in sorrow.
I think the man and the dog love each other. Now he's lost the only friend he had.

replace "Animal Rights" with "thieves"
Yeah, 200 dollars for the only friend that gives his miserable existence value. You're right, he doesn't happiness. He should just kill himself already.
Well I'm satisfied with my curiosity.
I may be sad but they did what they had to do to at least give the dog a better life. The dog is a living thing, not some property.
Although they should have at least compensated the man (even if it won't fix the damage), maybe with the 200 Euros they'll be making.
I feel bad, but I feel worse for the dog that has to live on the street. I love my dog more than anyone and I wouldn't want her to have to suffer like I would be if I was homeless, but I'm not/won't be in that situation so I don't know
It just reminds me of this homeless man by Commericial Boardway station who has been with his dog for a few years now.
They're usually sitting by the Skytrain pillar in peace.
In the Winter, he keeps his dog inside his shirt.
I wouldn't think it's fair for his friend to be taken away. Regardless if the dog would be in better condition.
For the human children analogy. Those are usually for abused and neglected kids, or drugged addled parents.
Homeless people who give birth don't get the child taken away. There are a few stories about that, mostly dead infants or placed into social care by free well.
I never even heard of poor people losing their kids. People who become homeless, become homeless with their kids as well; from stories I've heard.
Even the elementary schools in the poor community understand if you can't afford the 30 dollar per month lunch menu, and often make exemptions for the students.
[quote=consecrate]Do they have the right to seize another's property?
They can go to jail for theft or kidnap.
@enickma: No, this would be the equivalent of someone kidnapping a child. The people in this video have no authority to do what they did.[/quote]
it dont matter, if im at the grocery store and i see a parent abusing their child and they look drugged, violent and unpredicable out what am i suppose to do? wait for the cops to get there and just continue watching or take the child away to safety and wait for the cops to get their. if taking the kid away is still considered kidnapping then yall messed up
also from what ive read their some shelter team people idk gtg to class
okay here it goes, im satan's advocate, also my sentences are gonna be all over the place cus i got to get to class in 15 minutes
The dog looks weeks old, id bet on around 8 weeks, the guy at most had the dog for 8 weeks, that is not that long, even if he got attached to the puppy within a few hours that doesn't stray from the fact that the guy can probably barely take care of himself let alone another animal. Not to mention that dogs need their Vaccinations and this should be a huge point considering people go ape$#!t for the vaccinating humans debate. IMO they were in the right to take the dog, its not as simple as hey this guy had a puppy and they took it away from him because he's homeless. This is practically a child thing too, if a parent cant support their child then Social services swoops in, i dont see how this action is any different.
I need more information before I give my opinion.
From just the looks of things, many other things could have happened.
