I can’t believe we have a felony punishment for killing a pet rodent.
Animals can have no rights and cannot respect rights. All animals are only property.
You are right, animals are property. Putting Michael Vick in prison for fighting dogs and treating them cruelly was WAY WAY over the top. I have a dog and two cats who I care for dearly, so I am not immune to the spell animals can hold over a human. A few years ago, a neighbors dog began biting children. One day he bit the wrong one, SSS truly works. If I were found out at the time, I could have went to jail. I probably would have been looking at fines and compensation for the owners. In my mind, I did what was my right, and duty. That dog was loved, but he was a dog. That hamster was loved too, but they live wild in the fields of Italy, and you can buy them for $5 in a pet store and feed them to your snake. Come on people, get real.
