How is stabbing a hog a prisonable offence. I guess you have to have the intention of eating the hog when you are done stabbing and cooking it.

I mean what is the difference in stabbing a hog and slitting it's throat to kill it to eat it? Do they say ok it is mindset or what? I don't understand the difference. I understand the difference in mindset but. Did the family of the stabbed pig(if it died) bury it with a funeral or did they eat it?

I guess stabbing a deer would be considered excessively cruel as opposed to a good clean shot or you know some not so clean shots where they get to run around for a while.

I just think people whoudl recognise the difference between man and animal. I also think the punishments should reflect the crime. I.e. kill or hurt a person badly spend the rest of your life in jail or you die. An animal(because they are a source of food) killing should get nothing close to killing of a human. Now if the killing is of someone elses animal then that is different. But still not at the level of jail time(unless they can't pay the value of the animal)

I loved my dogs like crazy but I think if you can't realise your dog/cat is just that and you find your life could not go on without your dog/cat(working dogs are the exception) you need some help. Really, If you can't live without your animal you need help.
