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.
Not to put words in you mounth, but it seems you’re saying that the punishment for animal torture should be the same as for killing a human?
