>>I live in farm country and they are concerned for their animals. They are not purposely cruel for pleasure.<<
I agree. I am not smearing farmers. They DO know the difference between animals and human beings much better than those raised exclusively in “the city”. That’s my point.
My point is that, although it is always “acting badly” when someone tortures a helpless animal, it would more represent “mental illness” in a city dweller than a Farm/ranch dweller. The two just see animals differently.
In all this, I am talking about men. Women are different. Their maternal instinct is a very powerful deterrent. Their whole world view is different than that of men. And I suspect that the vast majority of those that respond so strongly on this site against these sort of acts are women. And that is how it should be.
One other thing: There is a HUGE difference between a kitten and a cat, regarding “awareness”.
I have no idea how to deal with such ignorance on your part. Nor your flailing for points only to contradict yourself. I see plenty of men, real men, on this thread that disagree with you.
