"Where you recognise evil, speak out against it, and give no truces to your enemies (Havamal - 127)."
When is the last time you saw an act of injustice, harm to another, or evil in a way that made you stand up to it. Have you ever had to be a voice for the innocent?
While I was at the off leash dog park today, a gentleman's dog decided to pin another dog to the ground. Which the owners of the dog doing the pinning didn't like, and the pinned dog was obviously uncomfortable. Instead of removing his dog from the situation. The owners of the pinning dog, decided it was his place to start whipping his dog with the leash while screaming at it. Unacceptable.
I stepped up and told him to stop hitting his ****ing dog if he doesn't like the way it's acting, unless he wants said behavior to get infinitely worse. That his behaviour is only reinforcing the dog, making it more aggressive and fearful of him. This was the second day at this park I have seen him with that same behavior, and could not stand by while it happened.
He tried to explain that "the dogs a rescue", w/e the hell that's supposed to mean, to which I retorted that it looks like it needed to be again. He probably won't learn, but I refuse to standby.
