“The guy killed his horse and let his dogs eat it. Read the dang story. Or are you against animals eating animals, meaning you hate the entire animal kingdom for what has always been?”
It’s how he killed the horse that’s the problem for me. He used a sledgehammer. He had other options - use a firearm, call a DVM to have the horse put down, etc, etc.
If he wants to kill the horse, fine. But at least have the common sense to do it in a way that will spare the horse from possible suffering.
You kill with what you have available.
Should you be held for murder if you kill an intruder with a flashlight rather than a gun? I mean, come on, you kill with a gun, not a flashlight, right?
