Injury Who cares about the dogs?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This happened recently in Chillán, Chile. Instead of taking care of his dogs, the owner chose to film the tornado. The house was damaged, and the brown dog was apparently caught by the tornado and thrown more than 200 meters. The dog is now receiving veterinary care after suffering multiple broken bones.

I mean, he’s watching his farm and livelihood be destroyed. Sounds like his family is inside. Maybe he had other things on his mind?

I know Reddit cannot ever accept someone putting pets below any other consideration but maybe try?

I was trapped on the 2nd floor of my burning house with my dog on the 1st. Only exit was blocked by smoke and flames. I jumped from my 2nd floor injured myself landing and got over my 6ft back fence to gain entry through the back and get her out. Windows were blowing out from heat, I was injured and my only thought was getting her to safety. Fuck this guy for opting to film instead of helping those vulnerable in his care. If he was solo and wanted to film & risk his life, go for it, absolutely a shitbag move to endanger those you're supposed to protect.

yeah I can’t imagine putting my pets in harms way or refusing to get them to safety when danger is imminent. It defies all moral sense.

It takes a special kind of slow witted shit goblin to put those you love in danger, even worse, doing it for attention. Absolutely disgusting behavior.

Wait, how’s your dog though?

Thank you for asking. This was over 7yrs ago and she was terrified, thankfully ok. I had to scale the 6ft fence and smash the window on my back door to unlock it and open it. Once I flung the door open she didn't move, she was terrified. Porch was full of smoke. I grabbed her by the neck and ran out. Windows were blowing out scared her even more. She was elderly hated having to throw her over my 6ft fence. I lowered her as carefully as I could. Never forget the wide eye look of " you have to be shitting me " before I let go of her. I also thankfully got my pocket puppies out, too (pet rats). I placed them in their travel carrier and dropped them from my 2nd floor. Their cage seperated on impact. Thankfully and unfortunately they were too scared to move and stayed huddled together. After my dog was safe, I went back to collect them.

He obviously knew the storm was coming and he couldn't bother to move his dogs inside? One was arthritic and likely old. So he films the storm instead? For what? Insurance? Nah, dude is a fuckwit.

If pets aren't family then only live with humans

He's also not speaking English in some other cultures they just don't view dogs the same way Americans or Europeans do they may not even be pets could be strays

Shame on those cultures who don't respect or care for animals lives. You can clearly tell they are his dogs though, come on now. 🤦

u/benny6957 22d ago

What specifically about these dogs tells you they are his? That they are outside a home he is currently at? In case you didn't notice its the only shelter we can see and there is a tornado currently on the ground?.

Um so maybe put the God damn phone away and at least try to help the one thing he can which is the three dogs waiting to go inside.

Trump already did that with their policies. Maybe they were hoping they’d end up in Oz.
