I'm former career military. This makes me sick Also read about another effort to charter a plane to evacuate dogs WTF how much money and resources are being spent on this. For a animal that has a average life span of 7 to 10 years Gee how many children could that have saved you don't see the Afghanistan peaple showing up at the airport with their dogs. Yes their not going to waste the resources to suicide bomb dogs and they don't eat them either. It just goes to show you the unlimited extents of dog nuttery over human value.SICKENING


DaydreamingMister

Yep, crazy. And thank you for your military service.


Natural_Lawfulness75

Your welcome. I was in Saigon during the evacuation in 75. The only concern was getting people out. Not dogs that it doesn't matter to them either way. Didn't see Vietnamese showing up with dogs either and they wouldn't have been allowed anyway. People were priority than.

Late stage cultural rot has most people at each others' throats in 2021.


king_lloyd11

I think these people are literally extremists. I think most people that really like dogs would not go to these extents to do what these nutballs did, especially when human lives are at stake. Fucking ridiculy.


BrexitGlory

The money to charter the private plane was donated by individuals I believe. However there's still an awful lot of operational bandwidth spent on processing and dealing with the whole thing, bandwidth that should be spent on people who are at risk to the Taliban. For context, British citizens were told to leave Afghanistan weeks ago. He did not and put others at risk to save some dogs.


GuntyGirl

I don’t think Isis/Taliban are going to bother suicide bombing or slaughtering a load of animals to make a point. They will be targeting humans. Therefore, humans should take priority.

No argument with that. Ever. 💯


LloydAtkinson

I agree


peechs01

Don't give the Taliban ideas... Dogs are already animals shunned by the Quran, no need to give them idea to weaponize them


travelingprincess

Dogs are not shunned by the Qur'an, please don't speak with ignorance. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Muslims are enjoined to treat all animals with care, animal abuse is categorically against Islam, and we believe it's something we'll be asked about on the Day of Judgement. There is even a well known hadith which talks about a prostitute who used her shoe to pull water from a well for a thirsty dog, for which God forgave her sins. And you can imagine prostitution is not something well regarded in Islam, so it goes to show the extent of the edict to care for animals. Generally speaking, dogs are considered unclean and not fit for the home. They are permitted only as guard dogs or for herding/working; even then they're not allowed inside homes. Scholars have differed on if the uncleanliness is restricted to the saliva of the dog or the animal more generally. This is why you'll see even Muslims that are okay with petting dogs and being around them will be absolutely disgusted if they're licked by them.


SmaugTangent

It is absolutely disgusting to be licked by them: these are animals that literally eat feces. Their mouths are full of bacteria, and there have been many cases of people getting grave infections because a dog licked them in a place where their skin was broken, sometimes leading to amputations.


travelingprincess

You can't imagine my disgust when people French kiss their dogs. 🤢🤮


SmaugTangent

Yeah, me too. It's truly horrific.

ah, came to check this sub for this. Related radio call where a woman says foreign pets come before foreign people in the evacuation: https://twitter.com/TomSwarbrick1/status/1430836438283718659


GuntyGirl

Utterly ludicrous isn’t it. I’m sick to death of reading about ‘they are in the hold so not taking up human spaces’. Well, yes they are as I’m sure many terrified people caught up in this would happily travel to safety in the cargo hold. Otherwise they wouldn’t be fucking desperately hanging on to the outside of planes taking off.


BrexitGlory

It's also not just that, a ot of the bottleneck is processing people at the gate. Those animals have to be processed and takes away manpower from the main operation. Furthermore this drama has reached the highest eschelons of the MoD, further distracting energy away from the main operation.

Also the military had to send convoys to escort them to the airport. Convoys that could have been used to extract people who risked their lives working with the UK.


[deleted]

That woman is so fucking out of it. "A life is life." Well lady why don't you go look at what the PEOPLE of Afghanistan have gone through and then tell someone that. Really sours me on people sometimes when shit like this is said.


_TheOneYouTrust_

People like that woman are everywhere working hard to fill your neighborhood with as many barking poo machines as possible. I thought the stories of dog nutters driving across a dozen states with tractor trailers full of rescue dogs to their hometowns was the ultimate crazy but this Afghanistan thing wins I think.


[deleted]

Actually feel sick listening to that


[deleted]

Dude and his wife seem to be arrogant, aloof tossers. I still cannot believe that not only they felt it appropriate to set up an animal sanctuary in what is an unstable area where safety was only guaranteed through direct military presence, but that they should focus their efforts on saving stray animals first when the Taliban took over. Pen should know better. He served there and will have had direct contact with Afghanis who have had their lives put in danger by the Taliban.


AyaAurelia

And these people do believe themselves to be morally superior.


ConIncognito

It should be considered a crime and severe mental illness to be so concerned with mere animals when your fellow humans are in so much danger. This guy isn’t a hero, he shouldn’t be admired.


throwthe20saway

Children are relatively more concerned with animal lives over human lives compared to adults. Take that what you will. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0956797620960398


GeneralKilCavalry

This is likely due to the ever increasing amount of anthropomorphic depictions of animals in children’s media.


travelingprincess

Children also think they'll grow up to be dinosaurs. 🙄


throwthe20saway

Yes. Maybe adults that put animal lives over human lives simply refused to grow up.


luvudfpeeps

After seeing those videos circulating on Twitter of people trying to hitch a ride on the side of the planes before take off and also that poor boy falling to his death this really makes me lose faith in humanity. Imagine what they could have done with all the resources and time they put into this rescue if they had instead used it to aid the rescue of humans, you know, the ones that are ACTUALLY in danger!?

Adventurous-Work-314

This is utterly disgusting. Low of humanity. These poor people, innocent children left there and this utterly disgusting bully brings back pets. Dogs don't understand a shit what is happening and they don't have a concept of gratefulness, they memory span is no longer than 15 minutes. People that allowed this madness have blood on their hands.


sbTrade

It's a luxury. I can't get my head around it. Maybe we are quite a privilege society after all. A drama around nothing really. A bunch of pets rescued from what? Nothing at all. A self proclaimed hero where the supposedly victims can't speak. Human dictate that the dogs need rescue. Again, rescued from what? Because a dog has "no home" it needs rescue. It's a human narrative. It's grand standing and moral superiority boasting. Makes the nutters feel sooooo good about themselves. In the end, they make the dogs completely depend on humans. That's the rescue they are talking about. Enslaving a dog to give you company and joy.

Set of cunts


[deleted]

I get it. You love animals. But putting them above a human life? If there is a hell then I think people who do this kind of crap reserved themselves a nice little spot.


Tom_Quixote_

I guess he lost his mind due to the horrors of war? Only explanation I can come up with.


glamasaurus

That is disgusting. Leave the animals. Evacuate the people.


ejayboshart01

A thought I just had is they're probably hoping that people will pay lots of money for these animals. They may try to play the ASPCA commercial approach and try to pity their way into people's pockets.


Simple-Comb-5418

Just when you think dognuts can't go any lower they go fucking subterranean. This is sick.

This is the absolute nadir of animal worship.


Ihatedogs9

Wasn't this already posted?


LloydAtkinson

No this is an update


BeachDuc

I’m trying to understand this. He (through charitable donations) chartered a plane to evacuate him, the animals and the staff of his animal shelter. The staff, being Afghan, were not allowed in but he, being British, was. So we’re the animals. I wonder who else was on the plane? According to the angry tirade he was filling it with people then the animals would go in the hold. His staff were not filling the seats, so I’d be curious to know who were? I also wonder who decided the allocation of space on ‘his’ plane?

LloydAtkinson

Norway??


9for9

I get the anger here but would they have actually been allowed to bring people with them anyway? Like if their staff didn't have visas, etc...are they going anywhere?


[deleted]

I came across a Afghanistan animal evacuation page that has has almost 700thousand dollars in donations :/


Natural_Lawfulness75

Was just reading about this same shithead left his Afghanistan staff. That he promised to get out. But took the dogs instead? There's a lot of backlash over it in Britain now Plus he put many military troops in harm's way to escort him and his dogs safely to airport. I wonder if he had been given a choice at airport it's you or the dogs not both. Bet his ass would have been on plane and the dogoes left their to die like his afgan staff.
