"Some people eat people...and fetuses....what's your point?"
Well, Hitler gassed jews. That does not mean that workers at animal shelters should be treated as little hitlers.
My point is that, unlike PETA, I do not believe a boy is a dog is a cat. Animals are animals. They are not people and do not contain within them the same intrinsic value. They are "meat on the hoof".
So you believe that an animal can be tortured or be made to suffer at the hands of humans ....whenever they feel like doing it and not be punished? You think that's ok?
Although animals are not people, they do deserve to be treated humanely.
Cats are not "meat on the hoof".
They have been domesticated for both utilitarian purposes (pest and rodent control) and as companions/pets.
I think people who equate human life with animal life ought to have cattle prods inserted into their nether regions. They should be run over 1000 times with a large, greenhouse gas spewing SUV. They should be slit stem to stern and their intestines should be used for violin strings. They make me want to puke.
Actually they just make me laugh, sardonically, at their hatred of human life and, of course, themselves.
