Coney's John Strong Wants Custody of 5-Legged Pup

Seriously HowBoutDemCowboys? I have to assume you're either a troll, John strong, or you mother shook you too much as a child.

but it's an assumption that has no basis.Does anyone truly have any idea of what that puppy would encounter as part of a sideshow?

Ok How about we let fact be the basis? First life with a fifth leg which means the following:

the puppy couldn't sit, walk or lay properly because of the extra leg (which had six toes and protruded from her stomach). "She'd struggle to run up a hill or walk up a hill because she had to tug that thing behind her,"

Yeah that's Humane, let alone the fact that it would be in a cage for people to stare at its suffering. Seems like the facts speak pretty loudly to me.

Has anyone ever met and talked with those who are a part of or own a sideshow?

How about John Strong's own words confirming his disregard for animals with this reaction to the apmutation:

says the dog has had her fifth leg amputated, the Charlotte Observer reports. Case closed, right? "Even if it's been taken off, we're going to sew it right back on when we win the civil case," the freak show operator tells the Daily News

yeah superb example of the Human Race.
I have a compromise though. John's real motivation is for an attraction for his show not the well being of the dog so we let Siegel keep the Dog and give John custody of the fifth leg and sew in onto HIS stomach then he can perform in his own freak show.

Yeah? Why is it that human bullshit morals have to come into play when we're talking about an animal? Only humans have the gall to think they know what's right for animals. Only humans would think to amputate the leg from a puppy. Only humans would believe themselves so superior that they dismiss one human as unsuitable and another as suitable based solely on assumptions. In the wild, that puppy would be attacked and killed by its own kind. Now you tell me what's better for it, and this time, don't let your supposed morals get in the way.

On a side note, none of your assumptions about me are correct. 1)I was never shaken as a child. My mother is a saint that now suffers from Parkinson's, so watch your tongue (I have ways of finding people and that't not an empty threat). 2)I've never met John Strong, but I did know a freakshow operator once. He was so much more humane than anyone I've ever met. 3)I may be a troll, but I do it to call people on their hypocrisy and holier-than-thou bullshit.

Yeah? Why is it that human bullshit morals have to come into play when we're talking about an animal? Only humans have the gall to think they know what's right for animals. Only humans would think to amputate the leg from a puppy.

Because all our actions shouuld be guided by a single moral code. I dont get a pass on my morals because the subject is an animal. There is no Bullshit in treating others animals and ppoeple alike well. As far as knowing whats right well relieving suffering is allways right and as was documneted and you so cnveniently ignored the extra leg caused every day activites to be harder.

Only humans would believe themselves so superior that they dismiss one human as unsuitable and another as suitable based solely on assumptions.

Nothing I said here is based on assumptions. I have documented my statements with fact. And yes I find a person who would use the suffering of another to their own benefit reprhensible. Not unredemmable mind you but definitely flawed in their actions. The facts before us bear that out but it seems facts are useless to you.

In the wild, that puppy would be attacked and killed by its own kind. Now you tell me what's better for it, and this time, don't let your supposed morals get in the way.

We are not in the wild are we? To appply the wild's Rules makes no sens in a civilized society.

My mother is a saint that now suffers from Parkinson's

So youre saying we should forget our Bullshit morals and allow her to be attacked and killed because that's what would happen in the wild? ohh dont look now I bet you're having an attack of bullshit Morals.

I have ways of finding people and that't not an empty threat

no you dont and yes it is. oh and oooooooh scary grow up you two year old.

but I did know a freakshow operator once. He was so much more humane than anyone I've ever met.

yeah other than that profiting from animals suffering all the while keeping them in cages for people to stare at.

I may be a troll, but I do it to call people on their hypocrisy and holier-than-thou bullshit.

yeah sure you havent called me or anyone else here on anything especially since nothing you placed here references any facts you are the hypocrite here mr assumptions.

No, this is a competing freak show from the west coast, not the original Coney show. The Coney Island Circus Sideshow only features human performers, not animal freaks of nature, which is Strong's specialty.

I was just thinking as I started reading that they should take the leg off immediately to pre-emptively foil this jerkoff. Glad they had the same thought.
