How many people will answer this question ... Do you get mad like me, when you hear about animal cruelty???

Personally I think we should treat those cruel to animals the same.  If they beat an animal...they should be beaten.  Starved, maimed...all the same.  Humans are supposed to have a higher intellect.  Well, I sure havn't noticed it.  I view cruelty to animals as some impotent man trying to get his jollies somewhere else...

Stop being hypocrites. We do the exact same to other naimals just as intelligent as dogs. But because they aren't so 'cute', it's not something that really bothers us. You mention the suffering of dogs, but don't forget the cruel treatment of countless other animals.\n\nI agree that it is wrong, but it's not only dogs we should be concerned about.

Why the hell not?? It's totally hypocritical to complain about people eating dogs - have you ever seen a cow/pig/sheep/chicken being slaughtered in YOUR country??? Go and watch it some day, THEN you will have the right to criticise other countries ... IF they really do behave worse than YOUR country! But farming dogs for food is NO different to farming cows/sheep/chickens/pigs for food! People NEED protein!! Meat contains protein, so why shouldn't they eat it??!!\n\nAs it happens, it's a lot less common than it used to be - because the Korean people have no need to rely on dogs for their protein nowadays! And people are keeping dogs as pets now too, so as the number of dog owners goes up, the number of willing dog-eaters naturally goes down. If YOU had a pet sheep that you loved, and it slept on the end of your bed, would you want to eat lamb?

Actually, in most cases I find it's just the opposite. A lot of my friends can't watch the scene in Braveheart where horses get killed. They don't have a problem with the human violence, but they simply cannot stand seeing the horses getting killed. One of my teachers actually brought this up in a class one time: why is the suffering of animals so much worse than the suffering of humans?\n\nBut, with regards to people who actually DO fit your profile: there was a belief that since animals had no souls (which, at the time, was an undisputed fact), they couldn't actually feel pain. And even if they whine and scream and cry, they're only reacting in a way that they think they should react instead of actually feeling pain. Of course, most people these days say that's b*llshit, but, well...you gotta love archaic medical science.

Well, they do not "feel" remorse or compassion as most humans do.  I would die of guilt if I purposely killed an animal, let alone a human being (and mind you, some humans are below animals)

MAD????? He's the most vile being on the face of the Earth that I know of...There maybe someone else that's worse off than this horrible creature, but I don't know who that would be!!

Very angry -- but not for long, I suspect.\n\nFOLLOWUP:  Interesting social experiment.  Surprising how many people have reacted angrily without even bothering to wonder what ice-nine is.  A smaller but still statistically significant number asked what it was, but it doesn't appear that any of them have bothered to actually find out.  Only two people seem to know about ice-nine, and yet still reacted angrily.\n\nShall I let the cat out of the bag?

This is a normal reaction from any sane person, because they have rejected the grace which God has bestowed upon them and chose to be abnormal, just imagine if you see two male donkeys doing that shameful act do you accept it? What a bout two sane human beings?

Visit www.peta.org, check out the Chinese fur undercover video, and you will see.  Not only will you see what skin looks like turned inside out, but you will see the pain and needless suffering these poor animals endure while being skinned alive!  All for a stupid coat or piece of clothing.\n\nSorry, I'll get off of my soapbox.  It just makes me so mad and that is the first thing I though about when I saw this question.

http://www.petitiononline.com/nosb861/petition.html\n\nThanks for letting me know there is an effort to rid the population of pitt bulls.  (BTW, the bill is not about having them put down.)  This is not about biased opinions, this is about the science of genetics.  These dogs are walking time bombs.  Look at the anatomy of their jaws and the size of their head.\n\nI worked in surgery for years and saw the damage these dogs can do.  They will de-glove (yes, it's true) the face first before mauling the victim to death.  This is a genetic fact.  So, OK, maybe they can be trained to stop...are you 100% certain of that? Look what happens when someone tries to get them off the victim.  Look at the force it takes.  More damage.  I truly feel sorry for the life of a pitt bull.  They are abused beyond belief.  The agressiveness is not exclusive to this breed...I got that already. \n\nWhat is your logic?  Help me understand your position.  I have done extensive research and it's NOT about personal opinions.  It's not about what a dog trainer says, a breeder, or someone who owns 10 of them extolling their sweet behavior. \n\nLet me ask you this; If a pitt bull who lived next door to you jumped over the fence for any reason and killed the person you loved the most, and you found out that the owners treated the dog well and responsibly trained her/him to respect and be mannerly, WHO WOULD YOU WANT TO KILL?  Would you continue defending the breed? That goes for Rotts and Dobbies, too.  I base my opinions on academic research that explains their behavior.  \n\nThe Bill asks for mandatory neutering w/ anesthesia...no pain.  That will make a 0 population over time.  Unless you actually see a person who has had catastrophic damage, I doubt that this posting will make any difference.  Hope I'm wrong.  I'm trying to see both sides.

Well, since I'm telling you I am bold enough to ask it.\n\nWhat is wrong with you people? I've never heard of more stupid, ridiculous, hateful, or prejudiced things in my entire life than on here! You honestly think that one negative comment or stupid remark is going to change the way someone thinks???\n\nWow, I feel better now. Thanks!

My 1st reaction is to give it right back to 'em, but then I think, this is gonna come back on me cuz snotty/SNOOTY people seem to "run in packs". After 1 very public personal attack <on me>, I've really tried to 'disconnect' a bit. It's easy <and CRAZY> to let people ya don't even know get your goat.

No, I use to do it all the time, but after my third suspension it got boring. The questions that will really get people going are the cannibal ones, the answers I always got made me laugh. Who cares if you piss people off f*ck them.

Who doesn't contribute to society -- the activists or the animals?\n\nDid you know that animal abuse laws were in place prior to laws prohibiting the abuse of children?  Anti child abuse laws were actually derived from animal abuse laws.  So there's something to be said for those who protect.\n\nThere was a story in my local paper today.  A teacher had brought in a tortoise as a class pet.  Over the holiday weekend, vandals came in and bludgeoned the pet for no reason.  Shouldn't someone stand up for the animal and those who loved it?\n\nAs for the second part of your question posted in additional details . . . the poor starving person already has a voice.  The animals do not.  How many humans realize that they're made of meat too?  Good thing animals don't have the same twisted disregard for our lives as we tend to have over theirs.

Their brains must be hardwired for that. Now, I hate zoos! Stupid way of dealing with the situation! I wish animal's right defenders knew that and boycott the zoo!

Vegetarians are largely the same people that protest hunting, throw blood on fake fur, and kill abortion doctors.\n\nDo you know how many people are killed every year in car/deer accidents? or how about the last time the bleeding hearts freed all the mink at the local mink ranch, and the mink went to the local trailer court to feed on all the cats? Or this "it's too mean to kill fetuses, so I'm gonna kill people." mentality, what's up with that?\n\nSo, if we put two and two together, bleeding heart liberals like deer, hate cars, like mink, hate cats, like unborn people, and kill abortion clinic docs.\n\nSo, what's next? \n\nAmerica becomes a third-world country, and looks a lot like India did back in the 70's, where a starving child can be seen right next to a healthy cow, in downtown Milwaukee.\n\nThe national speed limit is reduced to 15 miles per hour on account of all the deer, cows, pigs and sheep, roaming freely around the country, eating our crops before we can, and crapping on our children. Ted Nugent replaces Osama Bin Laden as the world's most wanted criminal, and I get arrested repeatedly for Vehicular Deerslaughter.\n\nEver see "Nightmare on Elm Street? Remember how Freddie Krueger was conceived? 'nuff said.\n\nOh! did I mention the Bovine Holocaust Museum?\n\nHopefully, the punishment for Vehicular Deerslaughter is lethal injection. Did you know they sterilize the area with a cottonball soaked in alcohol before they insert the needle that'll kill you? Ya think they're worried about giving the condemned an infection?

I'm very liberal - and I happen to NOT support PETA.  I feel that their scare tactics and such go WAY overboard to prove their point.  Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, just don't shove it down my throat, ya know?
