A viral video captures a woman confronting a man at Mount Tabor Dog Park in Portland, yelling at him for owning purebred dogs instead of adopting from a shelter
A video capturing a woman’s heated outburst at a dog owner in Mount Tabor Dog Park, Portland, Oregon, has gone viral. The incident shows the woman confronting a man for owning purebred dogs instead of adopting from a shelter.
The viral video
The footage begins with the woman approaching the man unprovoked, shouting, "You bought those dogs, didn't you? You didn't adopt them! You didn't save their lives! You don't care about them! You don't care about anyone but yourself!"
The man responds calmly, saying, "Dude, you are crazy, lady."
The confrontation escalates as the woman yells, "Get away from me then! Get away from me! You walked up to me! Get away from me! This guy won't leave me alone! Help me! Help me! This guy won't leave me alone! And he is saying that I said something racist when I absolutely did not!"
She continues, "Please help me! I did not say anything racist at all! Who are you talking to? Help me! Help me, please! Please get this guy away from me! Adopt those dogs! Go away!"
He questions her, asking, “Who are you talking to?” and suggests she might be having a mental breakdown.
The woman then accuses the man of being a Trump supporter and threatens to call ICE.
"You need to go away too! You need to adopt these dogs! Look at this guy, look at his bred dogs! Look at what an unethical piece of s--t this guy is! He has bred dogs because he has a small p---s! He has no freaking integrity! He has no ethics at all whatsoever. That's his mom. He's a Trump supporter! He is an unethical piece of s--t! Where's ICE? Let me call ICE right now!" she shouts.
The dog owner responds, “Wow. Yeah, I'm done with you. Have fun in your psycho world. Good day. Take your medication today!”
