newlogin86 - I totally understand what you mean. I'm just saying that the guy could have been doing a brave and heroic act.... Like burning dogs alive, that constantly bark and are in need of being put out of their misery. In that case, he should have had a 50 gallon tank. Hah! Hah! Hah! That would be great... Dogs SUCK!

Hey! You! Out of the gene pool! OK, all silliness aside, I hope this guy learned a lesson and recovers completely. And stays in the gene pool.

Sorry this individual had to learn a hard lesson, nobody should have to suffer the pain of burns. *** Having said that, I believe Common Sense is none to common these days.

carlconstantine, Wow, dumb comment of the day! Only care about the possible death of dogs doing what comes natural to them, and no concern for an idiot who clearly did not need 5 gallons of paint thinner to burn a pile.. He hopefully will have a lesson learned and you will learn some decency.
