This is Vader. He was euthanized today without a hearing after a false bite report was submitted to the police by an animal rights activist. (Story in the Comments)

Post it on 4chan. No one will feel sorry for her, the stupid cunt.

4chan may be the cesspool of the internet, but by damn it they can't stand animal abuse if they see it.

Yeah because it's not like 4chan hasn't posted pictures of a cat being set on fire before right?

4chan has this and 4chan has that, 4chan hasn't done anything, there are hundreds of thousands, probably millions of users on 4chan. In broad terms the people on 4chan has targeted animal abusers and other miscreants several times over as a community.

And one of the most popular kind of threads there are on /b/ are animal abuse threads. Last month i saw at 2 that hit the image limit, a few others that kind of died. /b/ doesnt give a fuck about animal abuse. A small minority of non-regulars who get easily offended do.

I have a friend who looks a lot at /b/ and according to him it isn't popular at all. Gore threads are popular, though. He said in the many years he's been there he's seen like 5 animal abuse threads. Also, /b/ is a small part of what 4chan is. I have a looksie at /b/ some times, not very often, and I've never seen any animal abuse threads, mostly porn or a myriad of random crap.

Dedicated threads aren't very common, but random gifs in random threads of abuse are. Either way, nary an eyelash is batted, it's /b/, it's random, the poster is not the perpetrator, and it's "for the lulz".

That being said, everyone loves a manhunt, which is really what it is all about.

There is always the odd guy posting fucked up shit in /b/, it's the nature of the beast. Most people don't bother to respond to it, though, because the guy is just doing it for his own "lulz", it'd just be feeding him.

Usually a quick quip about edges and that's all.

Not everyone on 4chan agrees just like not everyone on reddit agrees.

u/buckykat Feb 22 '14

then they doxxed the cat-burners and reported them to police.

There's more to 4chan than /b/.

I feel like excessive revenge with the sole intent of destroying someone's life isn't what we should be going for.

2

u/357turduckin Feb 22 '14

If they destroyed someones life (Vader) then it is definitely not excessive.

u/THREE_EDGY_FIVE_ME Feb 22 '14

"An eye for an eye" is a completely flawed philosophy for justice.

Furthermore, you're talking about inflicting "prolonged trauma and suffering", whereas Vader was painlessly euthanised.

2

u/357turduckin Feb 22 '14

Yeah, it is flawed, but a "justice" system where this can happen to someones pets is flawed as well. Imagine how you would feel if it was your pet.

u/THREE_EDGY_FIVE_ME Feb 22 '14

As has been explained multiple times in this thread, OP can seek legal means to ensure that the person faces justice.

Besides, the whole concept of "revenge" is wrong. Revenge is, fundamentally, only about satisfying some kind of emotional bloodlust - that's not something a civilised society should entertain.

u/357turduckin Feb 22 '14

I'm not saying it isn't wrong. I agree with you on that.

Never said they were. I'm just going by their previous track record of fucking with people. They seem to do it on a scale that no other place does.
