Dog Sentenced to Death by Stoning in Israel

[Joelcool7]

Well considering when asked about it the Rabbi denied having sentenced the dog to stoning. I would say this could be a far out story. I mean he may have also been joking or just said something out of anger doesn't mean he was serious.

I find it interesting because to my knowledge Jews don't believe in re-incarnations and the spirits of human being's transfering over into a dog. This story sounds alittle too whack to be true.

Lastly crappy journalists always want to stir up contriversy and will exagerate stories to get readers attention. I know when a group of students from my school got in an accident. The report came out saying that the teens were drifting when they crashed and that they were inspired by Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift. However I knew everyone in that car and Tokyo Drift was hitting theaters that weekend. The car had 8 people in it and none had seen the movie, they weren't drifting purposely the car had to many people in it and slid off the road when the driver went around a corner. The report treated the teens like criminals saying the police were investigating (Which they weren't) and then the news took several quotes from students and picked them apart playing like 5 or 6 seperate quotes together to make it sound like the students were ashamed of the students, I know one of the people interviewed and she was in tears when she saw what the news had done to her statements.

Then a couple years ago a person I had met not a friend or close enough to be an aquitance but I knew the guy. He got in a car accident speeding. He happened to have a copy of Need For Speed in his car when he crashed. The media went nuts blaming the crash on Need For Speed and that the game had influenced his decision to speed. Fact is the game was still in its packaging it played absolutely no role in the accident.

Then the news reporters that blamed Doom for Columbine and reported these claims all over.

Reporters will go to great lengths to get readers, If a story sounds unbelievable then chances are it is. Even if the story is reported by many agencies it can still be fake or exagerated. You gotta watch carefully to see if a story is legit. I usually stick to bigger reputable agencies for my news. If this was reported by CBC,BBC, Al-Jazeera , Reutors or Associated Press I might believe it more. But this story is clearly out of this world, infact the article admits the Rabbi denied sentencing the dog. So that alone would call this stories legitamacy into question!
