Todos sabemos no que todo el mundo está equipado con suficiente paciencia y compasión para ser un padre; lo mismo ocurre para ser propietario de una mascota. Caso: el dueño de un perro en Illinois publicado un anuncio de Craigslist amenazando con matar a su perro si nadie se lo llevó por el final del día. El titular decía, "Necesidades de perro perdido o tiro."

Mientras que algunos pueden haber despedido como una broma sádica, un amante de los animales tomó muy en serio las palabras amenazantes y se apresuraron a guardarlo. "En la descripción, dice que no tenían sirve para el perro, y si no estaba ya al final del día, que iban a disparar,", dijo Liz Pendleton, estudiante de veterinaria que lloró mientras leía. Entonces decidió impulsar una hora-y-media para rescatar a la pata. Cuando llegó, una mujer entregó la mezcla de pastor alemán de 4 años sin apenas pronunciar una palabra.

Era evidente la pobre criatura sufrió por negligencia, ya que fácilmente podía sentir las costillas bajo su abrigo. Aparte de eso, parecía estar en buen estado de salud. "Sólo quiere amor", agregó Pendleton. "Se merece mucho más de lo que ha tenido".

Esto es increíblemente triste. Amenazando la vida de su mascota sobre Craigslist es una nueva baja. Si esto no es un delito, debe ser. Pendleton dijo ella alertó a la policía del anuncio, pero no está claro si actuaron en él. Por lo menos, esto es crueldad con los animales. ¿Dónde demonios están los manifestantes PETA. Pero tan horrible como es, supongo que era una manera más rápida para conseguirle un nuevo hogar que dejarlo en la perrera. Tan maravilloso que esta mujer salió de su camino para garantizar su seguridad. Pendleton desde lo llamado Buck, pero admitió que ella permanentemente no puede cuidar de él y está buscando un buen hogar llevarlo.

Si usted está interesado en adoptar Buck o conoce a alguien que es, contactar con ella en lizzy314314@gmail.com.

¿Qué crees que le pasara a los ex dueños de mascotas que publicaste ese anuncio?

Man Charged for Trying to Sell Baby on Craigslist Was a Big Baby Himself

Not to take away from that Bachelorette engagement glow or anything, but can we please talk about the worst date ever? So you're a new single mom with a 2-month-old baby. You go out with a guy a couple times but it becomes clear early on that he's kind of an asshole, so you dump him. And what does he do to get back at you? He tries to sell your baby on Craigslist, that's what. For only $100.

Paul Marquez is accused of posting an ad reading "baby for sale" under "for sale by owner" even though he is not the father. The ad said the baby plays well but has asthma and was "really getting on my nerves." (Which kind of sounds like what you'd say about a car -- works fine but I just don't like the paint job.) "I don't want her please email me." Oh yeah, and Marquez reportedly gave out the mother's phone number, and someone actually called her in response to the ad.

The poor baby -- Marquez I mean -- was just upset because his ex-girlfriend paid more attention to her daughter than she paid to him. SIGH. Is it relevant to mention Marquez worked in the stock room of Victoria's Secret? Probably not. (It totally is.)

Anyway, if this all sounds like a harmless prank from your garden variety douchebag, it's not. Marquez has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child, harassment, and a social service violation. You do not joke around with other people's children like this.

I can't imagine how creepy this must have been for the poor mom. Dating is not supposed to be this dangerous! I think most single women are always aware of the threat of stalkers and harassment for themselves, but how many single moms worry about their dates going after their kids, too? I don't think Marquez intended serious harm to come to the baby, but it would still be a chilling experience to find your child is being offered for sale on Craigslist. I'm glad they caught the guy.

How seriously do you think police should take this incident?

Guy Gets Revenge on Cheating Lover With Best Craigslist Ad of All Time

Breaking up is hard. Getting over and coming to terms with a split can be even harder. Sometimes, we're tempted to go to extremes ... like selling our ex's possessions in a way that shames them and hangs aaallll their dirty laundry out to dry. That's exactly what one betrayed lover in San Francisco decided to do when he posted what might be the most hilarious, bitter, and painfully honest post-breakup Craigslist ad of all time.

The listing is for a $150 "plush-ass mattress," which will "get you to f**king REM and for 6-8 hours every night you'll forget that you're sleeping next to a sociopath." No wonder the poster clearly just wants it out of his life ...

The pain of my broken heart now means less back pain for you! This is basic law of transference type shit. I'm pretty sure the physics work out, but then again -- I paid my college roommate who was a scholarship student to do all my take-home exams so I can't be entirely sure.

So here's the deal: $150 and it's yours. No catch. Get this f**king mattress out of my life.

It's a plush queen-sized Simmons Beautyrest. It's three years old, and feels like you're sleeping on a f**king cloud -- even when you're unknowingly sleeping next to a lying cheater. In a bad relationship and have to lie next to the constant reminder that you didn't go to grad school so that you could move and get engaged? Then this is the bed for you, it will get you to f**king REM and for 6-8 hours every night you'll forget that you're sleeping next to a sociopath. There are no stains, and this thing hasn't seen action in a while.

I thought about giving it away for free, but then I figured, what the hell -- sell the bed, and go buy a Fleshjack and a handle of whiskey. And that's how I settled on $150. This thing is priced to move. It's worth much more than the price, and I figure that even someone who is looking at Craigslist on a Tuesday morning could easily afford it. So don't email me with your lowball offers. And don't agree to $150 and get to my house and offer $100. Because that would make you a lying cheater, and I would rather set the mattress on fire and throw it out of the window rather than sell it to you. Seriously, I will lose it.

Priority will go to those who can come get this literal bed of lies today, as I've got the entire Fiona Apple and Alanis Morissette discographies to get through.

And no, I won't help you get it out to your car. There are only eleven steps up to my apartment. You figure it out. I was going to sell the mattress for $200 but I figured it was worth the $50 to watch someone else have to struggle over this oppressive burden. Not a deal-breaker, but it would help immensely if you looked like my ex as I would love to see an entitled, Ivy-League-educated asshole struggle with this thing. But totally not necessary.

Wowwwww, right? But hey, there are a lot more horrible, unproductive, self-destructive ways to express your bitterness after a bad breakup. I'm actually all about someone trashing their ex in an anonymous way like this, where no one is really getting hurt. Heck, this guy's actually going to help a stranger out by selling them a fab mattress at a really low price. Well, maybe he will. The ad has since been removed from Craigslist. But with the kind of press his ranty posting has drawn, I wouldn't be surprised if his inbox is filled with offers for the bed ... and more!

What was your reaction to this angry ex's ad?
