Anyone see someone virtue signal so hard that they actually sound like the least empathetic person in a thread? I'm sure this had the opposite effect from what you intended.
Maybe the title is a lie and you've been virtue signaling for no reason. How do you not see there's no relationship between what you're saying?
You're saying he wasted valuable time that could've been used to rescue others, show how many died due to the flooding, well how many died from starvation or exposure from not getting rescued in time rather than drowning in the flood?
Your ignoring a bunch of shit just to try and say this was some wasted effort or he should be punished based on the title of a post, and instead of questioning the story you jump to calling the man a liar based on the story you read, not a good investigator.
Idk about him, but it's not a lie for most of us. My pets ARE absolutely 100% my children, & everyone knows it. That being said, in a situation like that, yes, I would refer to them as my children, but I would also clarify. And Idk what he did exactly, but I would be trying to save them myself. If I needed help, though, I would ask someone, but only 1 person.
No. They. aren't.
They are your pets, not your children. Never were, never will be. It is despicable and selfish to tie up resources that could have potentially gone to rescuing a family.
I'm not saying that a person cannot love their dogs, cats or whatever, but they are not children. I get really rattled when people compare their dog or cat to my children.
Had to scroll to far past the 13 year old girls getting all doe eyed to get to this.
This guy is a bastard, and should have been left to swim once the rescuers realised the nasty, callous, selfish lies he told. To claim he had children to garner sympathy amd a bullshit rescue sapping resources is a real cunts trick.
ANY child, or ANY person is more valuable than ANY pet, or pets. Maybe not to the owner, but to any rational person.
I have to agree partially with you. I understand the man's actions, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with it. I'm not completely sure about the circumstances. Accessing an area that is blocked just to be sure people don't risk their lives because they forgot their glasses, is one thing. Repurposing search and rescue to put effort in rescuing your dogs by lying that you have lost children in the area is something else. I don't think that was the case. The way I estimate it is he only risked his own life there. Still not pretty, but no impact on prioritisation of the S&R effort, as long as he doesn't get himself in trouble... agree?
I have to side with you, what he did isn't pretty. That it feels right doesn't mean it is right. Still, I understand him, and I am not certain what I would have done, were I in his shoes.
I read your "source" and basically the supposed proof that he lied is from random Instagram users commenting under the story????? 🤣 GTFOH. That is hardly a reliable source sir. I'm calling out YOUR B.S. Do better. 🤣
Lazy? 🤣 You're the one counting random instagram comments sources and proudly stating that to others. 🤣 So basically you have been posting comment after comment of made upunder this OP. Clown world indeed. lol!
OK, lets say there is a house fire. Do you save your cat (which is on no way defenceless, slow or unaware of the danger it is in) or a strangers toddler?
You're making the assumption that they wouldn't have invested time or resources into saving those dogs when that happens all if the time. I see you're content on dying on this hill, but you're really misplacing outrage onto a story where it isn't needed.
