OK, Now that you’ve established that the punishment for animal torture should be death, let’s see at what level the death penalty would begin to apply.
Toture of an animal by shooting it with an arrow and failing to track it long enough to find it and put it out of it’s misery?
How long would someone have to track the animal, and failing to find it, before the death penalty would no long apply to the hunter?
Again, by how you posted here, you’re really not trying to be that polite.
If you can’t understand the difference between hunting and a criminal slashing up your animal in your house, how many people here do you think are going to believe that they are equivalent acts? Really? Do you really believe they are? Or are you just trying to pick an intellectual fight?
You’re just not happy that some people want severe punishment for those that commit horrendous injuries or torturous death to animals, because that somehow ignores injustice to people or takes the spotlight away from people. Yes there is so much other injustices that occur to people, but everyone I know on FR also disagrees with those injustices as well, and say so when we see these stories posted here too. The same people who comment about this type of story comment on stories about abortion and murder of people. If we can only ever comment or focus on animals after we take care of all the people injustice, we’ll never get to them. And so much for humanity’s biblical stewardship responsibility.
That’s why people develop specific groups and causes for specific things, because not everyone is drawn to the same issues with the same intesity. The breast cancer people aren’t focused on prostate cancer. The MS people aren’t focused on wounded veterans. Are they bad because they aren’t focused on more? Are they being neglectful? Should they not do work in their area until another area gets more attention first?
Nope.
Just like I don't advocate the death penalty for someone who is involved in a traffic accident where a fatality is involved.
Sheesh.
