Ravenwolf Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 In a nutshell: A man struggling with depression finally gave in to pressure from the condo board and neighbours and euthanized his pit bull, Rocco, who had never hurt anyone. Wracked with guilt, he took his own life. http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/doggone_shame_1a9XYW8u9ZLlqwRJTa6jrN One might read this and think "dude, you've got money - how about just moving??" but I think a lot of people on this board who have struggled with depression can easily understand that the ability to make rational decisions is not a part of the illness. Sounds like dude had a lot of issues he was dealing with, and this was just the one that finally broke him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuRu Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I saw this story via CNN and found it sad. The dog was acting as his companion and therapy. Its upsetting when bureaucratic idiots make stupid decisions and it results in unnecessary deaths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tams Teeko and Keeta Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I hope those that harrassed him are now wracked with their own guilt and that it will follow them to their grave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
