I know I’ll be talking to the void here, but I’ve been reading Jezebel for years because I don’t know another website like it (maybe because I haven’t done enough research). But in the last X amount of time I’ve grown very tired.

It honestly reads like Jezebel's own brand of “alternative facts”. I'm tired and angry.

It’s always fun when the comment section does more and better journalistic work than the author of the article, and they manage to completely unravel the story in favor of the author’s villain in 5 minutes of light googling.

This article is gross. I came here thinking I was going to laugh at some influencer's silliness and instead I was nearly in tears seeing the state that poor dog was in. This isn't "his property". If he couldn't keep the animal in a decent state, he should've given it up willingly, that's what a decent human being…

I’m usually all for shitting on influencers, but in this case, no. She is providing that dog a home where it can live as happily as possible, instead of the sexual abuse the homeless man who had it was obviously inflicting on it. You are an absolute monster if you think any animal should suffer, just so you can feel…

THIS. They acting like she’s a fucking tool instead of a living feeling being that was enduring unimaginable, torturous pain. There have to be solutions for this man that don’t come at the cost of an animal’s health, happiness, or wellbeing. Being unhoused does not entitle you to a living punching bag. I shudder to…

it’s on her Instagram, and even posted in the comments here.

if we’re going to proceed on some insane premise that will never happen, then sure, i’m always going to pick what i know and what i love. again, that’s not a “me” thing, that’s a human thing. it’s pretty unreasonable to ask someone to prioritize a stranger over a non-stranger, whether or not that’s what you’d do. it’s…

So unhoused people have special rights to physically and sexually abuse animals? Because you feel pity for them, this animal must live a torturous, miserable, excruciating existence? And yes, if you look at the pictures, this man was clearly raping this dog. Her GENITALS are horrifically DAMAGED. She has INTERNAL…

yeah... i see homeless people frequently where i live, some with dogs. there’s a big difference between those dogs and this one. shameful that this author is basically speaking in defense of someone that let a dog’s condition deteriorate so badly.

the more accurate question would be whether or not they’d choose to save a homeless person or a stray animal. most people would likely pick something personally beloved over something strange, whether that’s an animal or a person. if your house and your neighbor’s house are both on fire, which one are you going to…

You should be crying because the dog was severely abused. Even her genitals were damaged. Jezebel isn't giving the full story.

But then how would everyone in the comments get to make their snarky comments about what a Becky she?

I mean, is there any evidence that the dog was living a happy, healthy life? Because if the dog was indeed in poor health and being neglected, then nothing was “stolen.” The dog was rescued. I guess I’m failing to see the issue here.

Kind of a dick move, versus trying to help the guy and the dog out, but if he couldn’t…

Off topic but I’m assuming you won’t have an article on removing the Golden Girls episode where they wore a mud mask. That would go against the recent article about how cancel culture doesn’t exist. Black people are asking for police accountability, not for old comedy show episodes to be removed. That would be woke…

I find it extremely messed up that this article focuses on how the dog provided emotional support this homeless man, with zero regard to the pain and suffering of the animal itself... If one of my animals is ever living in this condition i hope to god someone would take it away from me.

it’s all to... frame a dog-neglecter (at best) in a sympathetic light? :/

Unhoused? So homeless, right? If I am without a horse I am horseless, not unhorsed. Did he have a wild house which refused to be ridden and bucked him off? Unhoused...

all of this sounds like he wasn’t fit to care for the dog, though; if it’s reaching a condition that could be mistaken for abuse (assuming it is not actually abuse), and he can’t pay for vet care, then he doesn’t really sound like a fit owner for a pet of any kind. just like not everyone’s meant to be a parent... not…

To all you lizard-brained assholes blindly crusading about an article you read on Jezebel without doing any prior research to make sure your views are just:
