In regards to a dog being tortured and beaten to death with a hammer, Star Traveler:
“And, as for dogs — and cats or any animals — no, I wouldn’t count them any more than I would count beating a hole in the sheetrock at a house, or busting out the car windows or breaking up a piece of equipment as being equated to something on the level of a “person”...
If I was on a jury, and that’s what came before me, and I knew that pizza or a dog or whatever like that would lead to life in prison — that would generate a “not guilty” verdict from me... “if” they are going to maintain that kind of law...”
Setting fire to a dog, setting fire to sheetrock, no big deal.
Well, my post says it pretty clearly like I said before, there’s no comparison of dogs and animals to people. They don’t even rank in the same ballpark.
You’ll note that I said — “... as being equated to something on the level of a “person”...”
And you’ll note that I said, in that other post about criminal sentences — that there was no way that someone would get *anything* like life in prison. That’s the stupidest thing I have ever heard of — where one kind of criminal gets 5 to 7 years for murdering a person, and another gets life in prison for killing a dog. Too stupid to be alive to believe that one.
Sorry, no go for me...
I’m for killing animals and eating them. I’m a full-fledged member of PETA — “People for Eating Tasty Animals”... and I’m not going to join any of those earth-first or enviro-whackos or the animal-lovers above people groups...
LOL...
