It’s pretty stupid. But this is news? Really? We are this devolved as a species that this is actual news?
In related news, a fly was found wounded from an attempt to inhumanely smash it, the sick perpetrator is being sought!
Could have been an abortionist from Planned Parenthood, too. They don’t seem to care about the suffering and pain of other living things.
Well yes, but if something bites me I’m going to hit it with whatever I have.
We have been given dominion over the animals; as such, they are largely at our mercy. To mistreat anything, animal or another human being is unthinkable. - Twinkie puts bugs out in the yard when I catch one in the house. Spiders I just leave alone to eat up the ants & stuff (they gotta eat, too!) - Dub (the dog) caught a big old moth the other day and ate it up like it was a delicacy. I tried to catch it so I could evict it; but it kept fluttering around & I couldn’t manage to catch it. - I eat meat, fish, things like that; but I don’t want anything to be killed without mercy or cruelly. - Parents need to raise their kids to be more responsible.
I read the article. 100 years old. It’s sick what was done, and i wouldn’t mind doing it to the perpetrator.
i’m not a tree hugger or ASPCA nut, but there’s no reason to be cruel.
If someone did that to my cat, it would be their last day on earth.
I don’t know about child molesters but serial killers for sure. They get off on pain and death, it gives them a rush, they are fascinated by it and as they get older it progresses, they take it to the next level and then the next until they start killing humans. Jeffrey Dahmer was a classic case of that. He started on frogs, squirrels, then progressed to cats and dogs and then humans. When I was a Boy scout in the 1970s there was a kid in our troop who was just like that, we would be standing around the campfire and he would catch frogs and salamanders, and throw them on the hot skillet while they were alive or put them on a log and slowly cut off their limbs with a pocket knife and me and my brother would look at each other “There is something wrong with this kid”. You could see the geek come out of him, intense fascination with death, I never knew what became of him but it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if turned into a killer
That being said, I've no tolerance for torturing things or allowing them to suffer needlessly. I believe strongly in humane kills. If I wound something, I consider it my duty to keep going until it's dead, no matter how difficult or hard to find. Even the extermination of hundreds of squirrels on my property that I never eat. It's not right and it's not human to let them suffer one moment longer than necessary. This sort of thing really angers me, there is zero respect for wildlife and no recognition of humanity. These acts spawn from evil minds.
I think most of us probably needlessly killed something when we were younger... be it a frog, bird, whatever. Most of us felt guilty and learned a tough lesson in doing so, then never did it again. The people who do this sort of thing concern me
One of the first things I learned was to stay away from snapping turtles. They can be quite fast in attacking something and once they get a hold of whatever they grab at, it's screwed. They don't let go without the proper encouragement which usually involves cutting the head off or shooting the thing and then prying the jaws open if you still have what it grabbed in the first place.
As I said, I've no idea what happened, but I would just as easily believe that the turtle got that screwdriver as a result of it attacking someone as it was the result of being attacked by a future pedophile.
Ummm, if it attacked someone this could be a legitimate response. About the only way to get them to let go is cut the head off, and they can do serious damage.
Man really? Not one post to say: boy that turtle is screwed!
Come on just a little levity for a sick situation. Can’t let ourselves be completely sullen. Besides the ol’ girl is expected to fully recover. Tough reptile.
Is it named Hillary?
Might have been a pissed-off fisherman. They’ll eat the fish off of your stringer.
This is serious. We may he looking at a future planned parenthood abortionist here.
And fu to the “theyre just animals” crowd. It may be necessary to kill animals for food and self defense and humane reasons, but torture bs doesnt pass my values or God’s.
Lots of flooded strip mines around Chillicothe (I’ve done some dive/rescue training in them) I’ll bet they’re thick with snappers.
“Who would do such a cruel thing to an animal? Paul Tuttle, an 18-year Peoria police officer, says the stabbing was no accident — no instance of hunting gone wrong.”
Is this implying that the police actually got involved???
police officer, says the stabbing was no accident
Maybe just Maybe the turtle was running with the screwdriver and fell and rolled over on it. Maybe the turtle owed money for some crack he had received and didn’t pay up. turtle mafia tried to rub him out.
How many others thought this was an article about Jebbie Bush when they saw the title?
