Completely disagree...man has dominion over the lower created order...
This is not license to ravage the creation but “animal cruelty” is not just limited to dog fighting. Look at the high protein alternatives offered at your local grocery store. A lot of animals were systematically slaughtered to provide it.
Give me a break.
Slaughtering animals for food is in no way comparable to needless neglect and intentional torture inflicted on animals out of stupidity, greed or pleasure.
While it is quite true that man *does* have dominion over animals, anyone who can’t discern the difference between “humane” and “inhumane” is, in my opinion, a risk to society.
Compare the tendencies of violent felons and in their violent history you are likely to find animal abuse. Once someone reveals a proclivity towards animal *abuse*, I don’t see how they can ever be trusted again - and I won’t trust them. You can roll the dice with them if you like.
I am NOT referring to humane processing of livestock. I am referring to the inhumane handling of livestock; the likes of Vick who would use cats or smaller dogs to bait their fighting dogs; a kid who likes to torture pets, etc.
I consider them violent time-bombs just ticking away.
Opinions may vary.
The animals you are referring to are feeding you and your family and were slaughtered in the most humane way possible.
Correct me if I'm wrong but you're not eating dogs that were systematically beaten to enhance their viciousness prior to being thrown into a fight pit and forced to fight to the death and those unlucky enough to die were subsequently taken home and thrown back into their pens and left to die.
Such dogs were not destined for your dinner table but instead used to satisfy the ghoolish and demented mentality of individuals who took pleasure in watching the torture of helpless animals........
It's unfortunate that you can't distinguish between the two.........
