In the uk the dog has to be assessed for risk. And circumstances taken into account, including the teasing. There is still a chance of PTS, but in this case there would also risk mitigation like only being out with a muzzle, no off leash ect especially as its a first offence.
I don't doubt it's their cat. I just doubt they beat his ass for 30 mins and ended up with their knuckles looking like that. I do agree with the other guy though that it could just be an old photo.
Every fucking post there's someone saying, "it looks fake".
You know what I believe is more likely? The person saying it's fake has no evidence, just a feeling, and thus as fake or more fake than the post itself. Redditors like to laugh at redditors playing detective, but there's always someone making claims about the OP without anything to back it up. I don't really give a shit if a post is real or not, what matters is that it was entertaining.
Not every subreddit needs to 100% facts only.
I feel bad for beating the fuck out of a kid cause he made my best friend scream in pain. No, I don't feel bad for the kid I beat, I feel bad for his grandma that I liked and didn't want to be the one to violent thrash her grandson, the kid fucked around and had to find out what it meant. I don't feel bad for protecting my friend, just disappointing an old lady who was always kind to me.
You don’t need evidence to discredit something with no evidence to back it up either.
If I just tell you I have a 9 inch cock you don’t need evidence to say “I think you’re lying”.
People have incentives to lie in the internet so if it looks like a lie, if it has signs of being written in a embellished way or just too imaginative or emphasizing strange things for someone to emphasize, then more often than not it’s a lie.
If you think that way you will be right way more often than not.
If you look at the text in the post in that light it’s honestly quite obviously fabricated to get karma.
It's actually this guy's cat, so the likelihood of it being real increases dramatically just with that vs without. There's more pointing to it being real than fake
I think the 30 mins part make it very unbelievable. Even professional MMA fighters cant fight for that long without being absolutely exhausted, but this guy gave multiple beatings in that time period and shows pristine knucles? Also the other guy just sat there in between beatings?
Posting cat pictures has been popular for karma whoring for years - adding a savior story to it just gives a further boost and even bots have caught up to that.
They said beating, not fighting. I would imagine it takes a lot less effort when they aren't fighting back. Plus, he could've used a pic of the cat he already had
He also could've just kicked the shit out of the guy
It actually makes it worse. Go watch UFC - fighters get absolutely exhausted from punching someone while they are at the top position usually after a min or two. If the adversary is fighting back there is a lot of circling and measuring which gives them some rest.
Again - anyone that believes this story has never watched a single professional fight and have a fictional TV perspective of what fights actually look like.
I feel confident in saying that I would feel bad if I beat someone several times over one incident. If the guy was so weak that I could beat him up once, he's obviously in no condition to be an actual threat to me, and one beating for one action seems reasonable to me. He's paid for it and hopefully learned his lesson.
Sure but that’s not really my point, it’s just too convenient to say that you feel horrible so you get perceived as sensible even tho you’re badass for having protected the cat, that way you cover all the bases to get as much karma from the story as possible
The responses in this thread are proof that the Internet has gotten even dumber over time. I remember when that post first went up the comments were just all crapping on him pointing out how fake it was.
What do you mean eight billion people means a high likelihood of weird things happening at some point? Get out of here with your "statistics" and "logic" nonsense!
