Animal Cruelty

**Scarlett O'Hara** · 11-21-2010, 04:41 AM

I feel like there needs to be discussion about this. So many acts of cruelty are placed amongst animals we know and love like cats, dogs, rabbits and so on. People committing these crimes are not get sufficiently punished! What do you guys think about this?

Look at this video, I cried my eyes out from hearing about so many kittens being set on fire. Nothing makes me more angry and upset.

It's about time people/children learn that actions have consequences and the torture and killing of animals is not any different from the mentality of killing humans.

I just recently read about a woman called Cherleynne Cherry who put her flatmates kitten in an oven set to 500 degrees and left it to die. She got one year in prison. Effed up.

That's ****ing disgusting is all I can say. All these stories do is get me extremely pissed off. I just don't understand how people could even do this, it's just terrifying. One year in prison! **** that, send her to an Insane Asylum. Anybody who has the mindset to kill an animal just for the hell of it needs to be kept in a straightjacket.

Not sure what kind of discussion is really to be had, I don't think anyone here support animal cruelty. It's terrible, enough said.

I feel that as the master race, we should use animals to better ourselves, whether it be through eating them or even just the financial aspect that it brings.

Burning cats is now the same as killing cows for meat!

How is it different?

In Baltimore city there have been a bunch of kids trapping cats and stoning them to death. It's ****ed up and those kids might eventually grow up to be desensitized murderers and rapists, I'm not too sure what it is that can be done because there are so many other more pressing issues in Baltimore at the moment.

Must be a lot harder to figure out than I thought... See, burning a cat is just torturing an animal for the hell of it. Killing a cow for food actually has a beneficial purpose for it.

Beneficial purpose for everyone but the animal. So if beneficial purpose trumped animal life, then who are you to say that the people who torture and kill animals aren't having fun doing it, thus benefiting the awesomeness of their day? Who are you to decide what is beneficial for everyone?
Since we don't have to eat meat to survive, technically, we're just killing animals for the hell of it anyway.

You, sir, are a walking contradiction. I realize most people's morals and ethics will clash against their other personal beliefs at some point, mine included, but what's annoying about you is that you're either too hard-headed to admit it or too ignorant to realize it.

Inquiring minds want to know which it is.
