I’ll assume that you are using “you” not in reference to me, old3030, personally but in the sense of “a person”; otherwise, I would have to assume you can’t read.
It works for both you personally and anyone in general, since you would be included in the “anyone in general”.
I understand where you are coming from as I feel the same way about my animals. No one is above the law however when it comes to animal cruelty, and it doesn’t matter two craps if they are your property or mine.
