For clarification for those interested:
A kitten is a living, breathing, feeling, but spiritless, piece of property
A shovel is a non-living spiritless, piece of property
Now, since they are both property why should it matter how one disposes of them.
Try to not just condemn me for being 'unfeeling' or whatever. Explain to me why an excess kitten and an excess shovel need to be treated differently.
As has been stated before on this thread (by others), there is no biblical edict (other than to be good stewards and rules for sacrifice) regarding animals. Also there is nothing in the Constitution giving special protections to animals. There are special protections given to people in regards to their own property however.
