Didn’t find it funny. Just childish.
Too much of the macabre in their literature classes? Edgar Allen Poe, please phone home....
I agree. I'm not Jewish, so if I'm wrong here, I hope someone corrects me. But it's my understanding that it is Jewish law that animals should be treated with respect and compassion, even those that are to be killed and eaten.
That always struck me as a good idea. And its the respect part I'm not seeing here.
Agreed.
Is it funny? Not in the least (IMHO); it’s another effort in a long line of “we’re not creative enough to be really funny, so we’ll make people laugh by shocking them, instead” efforts.
Is it animal cruelty? No, since the animals were dead.
Could it desensitize people and “nudge” them closer to tolerating cruelty to animals? Yes.
Should it be illegal under the laws of the nation? No... since it’s not the job of government to prohibit general stupidity.
Is it sickening and an indicator of moral flaws? Yes.
Should it be applauded? No.
Is this a negative indicator of where our country is going? Yes.
I have no problem with killing animals at need (e.g. for food, to dispose of predators, for sport, etc.); but I still go with the adage which I learned when I was a kid: those who are callous (or cruel) toward animals will tend to be callous (or cruel) to humans. (I think the original version was, “If you find someone who’s cruel to animals, stay the [expletive] away from him!”)
Just MHO.
