"A man from Windsor, Ont., who was jailed after cutting off a dog's ears and suffered a somewhat similar fate behind bars has been moved to another facility."

As an animal lover, I can't help but smile at this.

What goes around comes around.  Karma's a b*tch, ain't it?  >

Man that would be painful. I've had cuts on my ear before and it was pretty bad so I can only imagine how painful it would be to have somebody bite a chunk off.

Karma is indeed a b**ch though.

Funny, reading the other story about the killer released after 2 years in prison; seems the inmates are doing a better job than the judges....

No doubt a despicable person. Quite a coincidental event too, even humorous. In the end however, an ear for an ear makes the whole world go deaf.

I'm not aware that you need your outer ear to actually hear.  :

Good, I am sure he deserved it

I can't agree more. It's a shame to see murderers being released after just a short stay in prison.

With regards to this topic, karma is very much a bi*ch. This 'person' deserved what he got, and should have got more, IMO.

It's funny to see the difference in societies.  

I remember in Afghanistan it was almost the norm for the people there to trim their dogs ears with a knife or slightly sharp object of some sort.  Most dogs there were "fighting dogs" and had their ears lopped for efficiency even as puppies.  I imagine there would be alot of earless Afghanis if they were to apply the same "rules" there as the inmates do here.

I have absolutely no sympathy for anyone involved in animal abuse, neglect, cruelty.  Unfortunately, he's probably going to be treated by a jail-appointed plastic surgeon to fix his earlobe--that's a guess based on what I hear from others who work in Correction Facilities.

By the way C/D, your words I highlighted above have an echo similar to words spoken by Mahatma Gandhi: "An Eye for an eye kind of justice only makes the whole world blind." Except that the analogy, as pointed out, does not hold together as smoothly.

Gandhi also said this:

"There are 2 type of people in this world,
those that take the credit
and those that actually do the work.
Take my advise and follow the latter,
as there is a lot less competition there."

Actually, there are 10 kinds of people:
Those who understand binary, and those who do not.

Or, alternatively, there are 3 kinds of people:
Those who can do math, and those who can't.

Was that Octal base/Hex Base ?
One is 8, one is 16, both are fun.....

 

[dapaterson]

If I meant to say $01 I would have said $01.  Obviously, binary is base 2.

And the less said about Octal, the better...

That one is brilliant, will have to use that one.................. errrr But maybe I should work on comming up with one of my own quotes.  ^-^

It was a joke. I was relating back to the old "eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" quote, and simply turning it around to this situation.

Hope this helps.

Having dealt with this "gentleman"  : several times at work, I actually smiled when I first heard this. He is a "rounder" (career criminal) and I am sure Bruce will or has dealt with him at work. He is a very violent person who deserves everything he gets. He is street scum...
