You are one to talk about reading comprehension, I addressed the question in your last paragraph that you keep bringing up. You just can’t read. I keep forgetting rocks can’t read.
And you did explicitly post you would not shoot someone who was torturing and killing your animal. I asked you that question and you said “Of course not.”
Of course I would not shoot someone over the mistreatment of animals. Even in my house. I have much more practical means to deal with such things. That isn’t at all inconsistant with my most recent answer as to what may happen to someone who breaks into my house, torturing animals or no.
However, I am unable to find your answer to my question about the hunter who allows an animal to suffer becasue he doesn’t go after it. You simply tossed all hunters into one basket. Is that how you want it? OK, I’m can go with that.
In my example, because the animal suffered greatly, I think some would call it torture, you obviously don’t.
So where is the line where the death penalty begins to apply to the person?
