If you walked in on someone torturing your animals to death and you had a firearm, would you shoot to stop the threat?
DEATH to those that harm and torture animals.
Of course not.
We are given dominion over the animals by the same Creator that gave us the right to bear arms to defend ourselves.
But they're just animals, not humans, and while they deserve our protection, that doesn't extend to taking a human life just because that person mistreats an animal.
By way of circumstantial evidence that you yourself practice that same underlying belief, next time you sit down to a meal that includes meat, check to see where that meat came from, and decide if the person who killed that animal should be put to death for his act.
