this is just horrible, sick and wrong in every way. At first I wasn't sure if it's fake or not, but I guess it's real. WTF is wrong with people

afterall, most of us don't have sharks or worms sharing our beds, our sofas, our meals. Many of us have dogs and cats who do.

You're personifying your pets. Not that it's right or wrong, but you are.

Bingo.

That dog (if the photo is even real) wasn't hooked as bait. The minute you fired up the motor and pulled the slack out of the leader, that hook would rip right out of his mouth.
