So here we are this weekend at the track, perfect conditions, weather was sunny and 63... nothing could bring the day down.... then it happend.
A full grown pit bull is running through the pits scared as hell from all the noise, the owner, the 17-19 year old punk chasing him yelling. The dog heads for the track as a 450 goes by then turns and head the other direction.... goes over to where someone else was pitted with a smaller dog (on a leader) and stops, I think sure there is going to be a dead dog here in a second because some stupid teenager didn't put his dog on a leader... the owner of the small dog manages to shew the pit away just as the owner gets there. this is where it goes from bad to worse.
The punk has the leash in hand, the dog is scared poopless from all of the noise and comotion and the kid kicks the hell out of the dog. I mean a point-after kind of kick.... well I think the dog was hurt because he got away and made a run from his retarded owner but could not out run him on 3 legs... the kid then tackles the dog and begins to full-on punch the dog and drags it by the leash back to his truck and threw it into the cab of the truck...
You might have guessed but by now i am at a full run across the pits to "discuss" his behavior. Well I lost all cool that I had when I see the dog in the cab of the truck all jacked up... "WTF were you thinking beating that dog like that?" I say (in that "you stepped over the line and its go-time" voice) the kid replies like a smart ass "he ran off, you got to teach them a lesson" So I give him a shove in the chest and ask him if he'd like to teach me a lesson. I guess he didn't because he turned around and just started breathing hard and shaking his head. I informed him that he was to face me when I was speaking to him and that if his back stayed to me I was going to open palm slap hid dumb ass in front of the world... he turned around. I told him that he was the one at fault, not the dog, if he was stupid enough to bring a dog to the track w/o proper restaints then reprimanded the dog when it ran off by beating the piss out of it he should not have one. Before I went back to my pit I told him that if I saw him do that again, today or in the future there would be no words spoken and he would be in as much a confused state as his dog was in while he was trying to figure out why his ass was being beat.
30 minutes later his FMX monkey buddy comes strolling over to me, hat on backwards and all... wants to know if "we are cool?" I said as long as he don't start beating the dog again we are... the kid then says "The dog got a way, you have to teach em' a lesson" I said I have 5 dogs and that is not the way you teach them. he said "they probably know better" I said no, I know better. and asked him to beat it.
I am glad it ended where it did, but my God I have not been that ready to open the hurt locker in a LONG time. I probably should have just let it go... or called the cops or something.... hopefully he will learn from this that you don't treat an animal that way... I sure hope he does not end up treating his kids that way... :|
