the other day i was walking my dog and i saw a baby possum that'd been hung by a noose from a tree. it had a syringe needle in its neck. the whole thing was fucking harrowing.

u/jessbird 6h ago

probably should've trigger warning'd that shit sorry. genuinely one of the worst things i've ever seen.

People who do this need to be reported to the police. I hope you did.

u/jessbird 5h ago

absolutely no way of knowing who did it. in the last couple years there's been a significant spike in tweakers roaming my neighborhood so it was almost certainly one of them. LAPD doesn't give a shit about this kind of stuff.

When I used to clean pools at a apartment, one day I showed up on sight and right next to the pool was a possum cut perfectly in half. Not sure if any animal in a urban city can do that but the cut looks extremely clean down the middle. The smell was so bad

1 in 100, as a low estimate

My coworker told me about this and I literally do not know how to respond. Dogs are helpless creatures. If a person can do that to a dog I’m fairly certain that person is a danger to EVERYONE. This is absolutely disgusting.

Its heartbreaking. The poor dog. So defenseless. 😢🥺💔

3500 Block in Lynwood off Magnolia. I wonder if any neighbors have footage of Oct. 4th on their security cameras. Sick people.

Someone posted a still image the other day of the man who took the dog.

u/WhippiesWhippies 6h ago

Give that POS the maximum sentence. You have to be psycho and a danger to humans to do some shit like this.

u/Agreeable-Injury369 6h ago

The picture was circulating a week ago on IG. I had to log off after that. I haven't been on IG since I saw the picture. Poor Ruso.

u/chashaoballs Pasadena 5h ago

I hate that shit like this can just pop up in your feed across platforms, uncensored and with no warning. I saw a video of a dog being flamethrowered by some piece of shit I hope dies the nastiest most painful death imaginable, from some channel “trying” to stop animal abuse, and it’s the worst thing I have ever seen in my life and I watched all the fucked up videos from early internet days. It’s the literally the one thing that makes me nauseous just thinking about it.

This is the same event, right?

The dog looks different. I don’t have a husky, so maybe if he got a haircut the fur can appear lighter?

u/damiana8 6h ago

Yes looks like it. Same location.

Don't serial killers start by doing stuff like this?

u/LegacyQuotient 3h ago

Lot of overlap with serial killers, animal abuse, and arson.

u/ModerndayGatsby97 6h ago

Good grief, that's morbid to see your dog being found like this. My condolences.

u/Trumpetslayer1111 6h ago

I hope they find that evil couple and pay them back tenfold.

This shit reminds me of the scene from the film “187” where Samuel L Jackson comes out as Garfield

“People in LA are psychopaths, News at 11”

u/Melodic-Comb9076 6h ago

not that it should matter….but it’s compton.

just look at the citizen app.

it is so overindexing with just shit going down like crazy compared to the rest of greater LA.

now if this shit went down in bel air or brentwood, there would be detectives assigned to the case.

u/anothercar 6h ago

Robberies / carjackings sure, but I think a dog-hanging is unusual anywhere

u/SuperDanval 6h ago

Crazy shit happens all over LA, what are you on about? "but it's Compton" what a bullshit thing to say

14

u/checko805 6h ago

Dude is living in 1990s movies and shit. “It’s Compton” is fucking nuts

9

u/SuperDanval 6h ago

Yeah, the desensitized apathy towards a gruesome crime because "it's Compton" is just wild to me. This sort of mentality people have is infuriating

u/AwesomePossum_1 6h ago

They never expressed apathy.

I rented a room from a wonderful family in the Rosewood area of Compton about 6 years ago. Like Rosecrans and Willowbrook. The streets were pretty crappy and one day somebody stole my car battery.

But that's basically the worst thing that happened around there. It's mostly just working class families raising families, not some gangster warzone like people think.

A child would not be able to lift and hang a husky
