I believe the Anglo Saxons had a punishment where they threw a man into a pit of hungry wolves. This punishment may be appropriate.

If that is the appropriate punishment for torturing an animal, what would be the approriate punishment for killing another human?

Great, we always get someone here bitching about this.

These are the kinds of people that MOVE ON TO PEOPLE, friend. You take care of them while they are still on animals, you’ve saved a lot of future people victims.

And many people rightly get incensed about people that senselessly kill animals because of that fact, and that killing a person’s animal IS an attack on the owner - it can take away a non-human family member they love and value. Compared to people they’re innocents in the sense they don’t plan to murder or steal. Closer to little children than adults.
