Please don't beat me up. I am just as horrified as the rest of you and hope these sub-humans get the punishment they deserve. And I couldn't agree more than I do with Jencar when she says "I am sick and tired of hearing of animal abuse stories and how the criminal gets their hands slapped for punishment." Something has to change. |
Some people cannot see the difference, and may not understand why some of us are so upset. I guess I see my dog as a family member. We make plans with him and consider him in everything we do. I know some people just don't see the difference between a dog and a bug even, and will not kill any insect because of this. I have no problem killing a fly, mosquito, or roach, but for some reason, if I catch a moth, I have to take it outside, I feel really guilty if I kill it. The truth is we are constantly killing things, the mouthwash you use, the antibiotics you use, the different cleaning agents you use, are all killing living organisms. Each of us must decide for ourselves what is right or wrong for us, but there is a collective group of people in this country, who think it's really wrong to abuse a dog like this, and we have laws prohibiting this sort of thing, so that's some of the difference. Maybe this group of animal lovers will help raise conditions for all animals in years to come.
I just hope someone didn't do this to prove some type of point like "What's the difference?" You won't change people's minds into becoming more humane by being less humane.
