Well, that’s not EXACTLY what I said. If this guy was using animals as food for others (as happens in nature), that’s fine, as long as the animal suffers.
What I take issue with is your statement of, “I don’t belive in jail time for anything a human does to an animal, no matter how bad.” That I have disagree with most strongly.
CRUELTY towards animals is one gauge of one’s depravity towards HUMAN life. If you’re sadistic enough to put a kitten on a BBQ (as recently happened) or throw someone’s dog into traffic in a case of road rage (which happened in CA a few years back) then you deserve to be punished.
But feeding an animal to another? Nah, as long as the eaten animal isn’t suffering needlessly, then I really don’t see a big deal about it.
Whoa—correction to my previous post, first line:
As long as the animal DOESN’T suffer.

That's kind of a "Minority Report" attitude isn't it? I'm certainly not defending what he did. However, when and if he commits a crime against another human being, then there are laws in place to punish him. I am not advocating what he did. I'm saying jail time is inappropriate.
