As far as him "deserving" this goes, as William Munny said in The Unforgiven, "Deserve's got nothin to do with it ..."
He said that before he blew the sheriff's head off with a rifle.
There are a lot of DOGS who didn't "deserve" the fate they got being placed in many dogmen's hands ... let alone people who have been double-crossed, etc. "deserving" what they got either.
This doesn't mean Bull Finch is in the right, it means your buddy is in the stupid: he put himself in the position to be ruined.
One thing an old man told me is, "Never completely trust anyone. People can change in an instant, over just one word. They can also have agendas."
The only person on earth I completely trust is my brother and parents. My blood.
Outside that circle, I have a handful of friends I have known since childhood, who have earned my trust.
The rest of the people I know are varying degrees of acquaintances.
When you think about it, these dogs are comprised mostly of social misfits in some way.
People who either are miscreants, deviants, outright criminals, or who (at the very least) have an edge in some way.
That includes me, and that includes you.
Now most of us are basically honest, but not many are so honest that they can be trusted in any and all circumstances. The group I ran with in TN, would swipe each other's ol ladies. Hand to God, the old man I knew was still bangin his best friend's wife every chance he got. That means the man with the wife couldn't trust either his woman or his best friend. He didn't know it, but that was the way it was. Another dude there, well known dogman, hired another dogman's wife (who was a house cleaner) to clean his house ... but wound up bangin his friend's wife too. As far as honor and character go, they were ALL pieces of shit, every one of them. Every single one of them was a criminal in some kind of way (dealing dope, swindling, card sharks, whatever). That is the way a lot of dogmen simply are.
I honestly can't think of too many dogmen who can keep their mouths shut about too much either. If ever there was a gossippy, "whipering about others" crowd of people, dogmen would be it.
Rare as hen's teeth are dogmen who truly do not talk shit, and who rarely don't share the "little secrets" they know.
There are a few, but I can't think of too many who haven't stood on the podium and run his mouth at some point.
I can think of many dogmen who have used fake names to talk trash, reveal secrets, etc.
Why? Because there is A LOT of jealousy that comes with the effort to show and produce "the best" combat dogs, and nothing turns men into crybaby bitches quicker than jealousy.
Like I said, the only person on earth I would completely trust to go into the workings of my database here would be my brother.
For one, he's not a dogman, so he has no reason to "compete" with me.
For another, I have known him his entire life, and in all my life, I have never seen him do ONE truly underhanded thing to anyone.
And I simply know he damned sure wouldn't do it to me. So, it isn't just his talent, it is his MOTIVES that I completely trust.
At the end of the day, you can only fully trust the motives of your blood and that's about it.
And hell, in some families, you can't even trust that.
It is very rare to fully trust the motives of anyone else, especially if they're in competition with you in some way, and these dogs are all about competition.
I agree. What Bull-Finch is doing (if what you're saying is true), is wrong and treacherous, period.
But you have to agree that anyone who would be making videos of themselves doing dogs, and then place these videos in the hands of other people, is a dumbass.
That is also the truth.
