I too feel bad for the dog. It had no choice in what it was made to do.
The humans on the other hand I feel angry that they were rescued, I feel they should have died.
I hope they did NOT have kids and pass on their retarded DNA to the next generation.
Anyone who would climb a mountain in the dead of winter then get stranded deservs to die.
Just like anyone who swims in shark infested waters deserves to be CHUM.
They caused hundreds of people to risk their lives and waisted lots of tax payer dollars.
At the very least they should have their eppidermis filleted off with a pareing knife.

I feel the same way about that dog. Those people went up knowing something bad could happen but that poor dog was like a sheep being lead to the slaughter. He had no idea what was coming

I agree gatekeeper, expecially the fillets.

[twist n shout]

These stupid f***s had to know 3 peoplde died 2 months ago on that mountain.For them to risk the lives of countless people to rescue they're dumb asses,is beyond ignorant. They knew full well the risks & dangers of climbing this time of year. They shyould be charged with the complete cost of the'yre rescue. WTF were they thinking? Some peoples children.:wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

wow, people are pissed off at these people, but when im pissed off about a certain james kim people start flaming me......wow....twofaced sons of bitches...

[dusto2k3]

there should be a mandator jail sentence for people who put others in danger....neglegent climbing or something...premeditated climbing..LoL

[Gatekeeper777]

At the very least they should be sterilized so they CANT polute the human DNA pool.

The one good thing if they were never rescued the dog had enough food to last out the winter.
3 fat hogs and 1 idiot.
They were rescued by their cell phone signal.
Take heed peeps. big brother can track you by your sell phone. keep it off when visiting your grow. lol

As a climber myself, I can understand why they would go up the mountain. I didn't really hear too much about this story so I really can't comment too much on the climbers' skills and whether or not they should have gone up. There is a big difference though, between stupid people getting themselves way in over their heads and good climbers having legitimate accidents. I've seen quite a bit of both.

The costs/risks associated with rescues is actually a pretty big topic in the climbing community. Some have proposed, and I agree with, a rescue insurance policy. Don't have the policy, can't climb the mountian. Pretty simple. At least this would seperate the serious climbers from the idiots.
