I have no issues with putting down animals....I also have no issues with beating the hell out of an animal in self defense. however, I do have issues with torture and sick stuff like this. It's like people do this stuff just to get their rocks off......and I hate that.
It is one thing to shoot the animal in the head, use lethal injection, or even take a swift blow to the head.....put them down fast and humanely.
Hanging, electric shock, starvation, tying them up and leaving them in the elements, etc.....are so wrong. It makes me want to do the exact same to that person.
If Michael Vick did indeed torture those dogs himself.....IMO, that same sort of torture should have been inflicted on him.
The person who hung the cat, should suffer the same fate.
I am far from an animal rights activist. I love meat, I am cool with fur and leather. However, I do not care for people harming animals just for fun. That is psychopathic.
