Killer Dogs

Philippines
September 8, 2011 5:48pm CST
I read this in Yahoo news yesterday. A 50-year old man in Indonesia was eaten by his seven dogs after going to a vacation and leaving the dogs to starve in 2 weeks. Can that be really possible? Can dogs really be that brutal? can they really eat their own owner?

I believe that leaving several dogs alone for several weeks that they can become aggressive and will eat anything they can get their teeth into. If they are left longer, they can even turn on themselves and cannibalize. It's gruesome, yes. But not impossible.

Yup, the story and the comment of others made me realize that.

He left them without food, and probably water, for 2 weeks. He turned them into desperate, hungry animals. If he hadn't shown up the dogs would have probably started attacking each other for food. What the man did to the dogs was cruel, it was abuse. The animals behavior is his fault, but yes it is possible. Dogs attack people all the time.

SO can we blame the man here? Can we say to him "Shame on you! You learned your lesson the hard way" :D

Hi, BannedHelsing. I believe so! I guess that is why I don't want a dog. Without the dogs not eating for days, can make them very angry. If this man had someone that could have fed and tended to his dog while he was vacationing, then maybe this wouldn't have happened. If his dogs killed him like this, they were more than likely vicious to began with. This is one of the main reasons why I turn my cheek whenever my family members say they want a dog. My cousin was bitten in the face by her own dog at home about twelve years ago. She was bitten about, six times in different areas on her face.

How sad. I love dogs. They are loyal and guard my house very well. Maybe, i treat them right because even if I accidentally stepped on their tail they don't bite. They just go grrrr for a moment to make me realize they are in pain. After that they sit still again or go back to playing.

Er - excuse me? "Can dogs really be that brutal?" No. But the human animal can. This one was so far removed from the human race those hounds probably had chronic stomach ache for a month. Did he enjoy his vacation?

Maybe. But I'm sure he is enjoying hell right now. Or maybe he is in nirvana.

I think it is possible. Imagine 2 weeks without any food or even water. Dogs can survive days without foods, as long as there is water. To think that, it is 2 weeks and how mean the owner to leave those poor animals for 2 weeks. Poor dogs, and poor owner

I can't answer that question actually. I really don't know what will I do if I am starved for weeks. All i know is that I have to eat every 2 hours or I will go insane.:D

If you didn't feed me for 2 weeks, I'd eat you.

Hungry dogs can be desperate dogs. Dogs won't eat their owner in normal circumstances, but not seeing their owner for two whole weeks and no food? They are bound to pounce on anybody they see upon their sight. Dogs are like humans or any other pets, when we are hungry, we tend to misjudge and only care about filling ourself up before anything else. To think that the dogs are starved for 2 weeks, they will think the owner has abandon them.
