--- Quote ---And to keep this on topic- I hate being paid with small change when the person dumps a handful over the counter and expects me not to count it. I don't mind if they sort it out so I can do it quickly, but a handful of pennies and the like just willy nilly is so annoying.

My housemate used to do this all the time last year with all the change we had lying around the house. He used to get annoyed if they counted it as well, it was like £3 mostly in coppers(that's like 100 coins if your coppers are different to ours)
Its like how can it be unreasonable actually wanting to know that you paid them the right amount when they have a business to run?

Exactly. I've had people pass me a lot less cash than they need to pay. I usually tell people I'm checking they didn't give me too much though.
And apology accepted

--- Quote ---I made my point, and not gonna change it, you condone hate for people that do something wrong, I agree that killing innocent animals is wrong, but I'm not doing anything to prevent it either, probably because I don't have any opportunity, though in the past I did help out some animals, thing is,
homeless animals generally just stay out of sight, because they know humans are bad news, seeing an animal in distress is rare,
that woman had to have reasons for what she did, she should be punished of curse, but she is just a drop of water in the ocean, if she did it with cold blood, her penalty should be harsh,
but if she didn't see any other solution, I wouldn't go hard on her, what If she tried to give those puppies to good people but couldn't find anyone interested ? and she couldn't support them herself ?
I think it's better for them to die fast than suffer from starvation abandoned somewhere helpless don't you think ?

Thing is she had someone standing there filming her so it was clearly more than just a mercy killing for unwanted animals, also I don't see why people aren't angry with the person filming it as they were clearly an accomplice. Anyway I don't think its the worst thing ever either, nature is pretty harsh and a lot of animals end up experiencing far worse suffering. Who's to say which animals experience a higher level of consciousness than others, is an insect ok to kill? How about a cow for food? Who's to say this woman didn't satisfy a far deeper longing than us needing a steak/burger no matter how disturbing it may seem.
I also agree with your view about if people aren't prepared to do anything about it then they should just shut up about it, although hypocrisy perhaps isn't the right word (not sure what is)

Well, its just not possible to save every animal and euthanasia happens around the world every day. I dont think that is the issue here.
If there was a legitimate reason for euthanasia in this case, I certainly don't think tossing them into a river was a very humane approach. (and laughing about it as you do it just makes it that much worse.)
Not everyone is gonna see eye to eye on the situation. Some people wanna go burn her house down and rape her family, some just don't see what the big deal is.
Even all that aside, I think just think the simple fact that they recorded it while laughing about it says just as much about the act as how they felt about it.
tl;dr - Sometimes I can understand why its best to end it rather then to allow an animal to suffer. But there is a difference between doing it for the good of the animal and doing it "for the lulz" which as evidence by the video looks like they were having a bit too much of.
JoonasTo:
I really don't see why some people would be ready to maim or kill a human being for ditching a dog.
Sure, throwing them in the river is a bad way. The humane way would be with a hammer or a gun.
But it sure makes you question a persons morals when they are ready to kill a person for that.
