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. |
I certainly hope my last reply wasn't misinterpreted to sound like I was ok with what happened. I think it's horribly wrong and I can't stop thinking about this poor pup.
It's just that I have that same love for other animals too which most people have no problem killing and eating. I just didn't want to be misunderstood on this.
Oh, and I will ad, I have no problem killing insects that will bite us. (self defense and what not) The others I set free lol.
