Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Have anyone notice the amount of cruel videos of people abusing dogs, cats, other animals posted on X? Is it only me seeing this or have others also noticed?
This is sick. Something I pray against. Report what you see. Tell Elon. I’m sure he has a way to find out where this is happening at. Animals are pretty much outmatched against evil. It’s up to us to stop it, forever.
The cruelest in China. Some of the other in India and then others I cannot identify. I am just so sick of these demons.
Maybe I will stop going to X. I think maybe that's why they are doing this to drive people away from X
I rarely get on X and haven’t seen it other places. I’m seeing lots of posts on local facebook groups lost dogs and cats. It’s been bad past six months. Some say coyotes are getting them. I think it’s a combination of things. People steal them, pets sneak out and don’t come back for different reasons. When people post free puppies or kittens others say don’t give away because people use them for big dogs to kill.
It makes me really upset to see what people do to animals.
Do you mean people abusing animals on video, or rescuing animals have been abused and neglected?
Abusing animals. Burning them alive on the street or throwing them into waterway and walk away.
Yikes. No I haven’t seen anything thing like this. Thank God!
