To my mind, unless you are all raving vegans, your just being hypocrites by saying its okay to kill one kind of animal and not another.

Listen up, I'll type this sloowwly so you know what I'm trying to say:

It's not the killing per se, it is the manner of doing it.
If these bozos (sorry to all other bozos for putting them in the same catagory) had simply shot the cats through the swede with a .22 I for one wouldn't have much of a problem with what bozo1 and bozo2 did.

Do you see what I'm saying??

Ugh, French wine - it makes warthog and porcupine sound appetising.

Gimme a Gewurtztramminer or Reisling any day over that French stuff.

And some animal abusers, even when convicted don't get that they may have done something wrong. MAF busted a Northland dairy farmer for animal abuse -- several hundred head of cattle starving in a sea of mud. Many were in such poor condition they had to be put down by vets. The rest were taken away to better grazing land. Despite being done by the Courts for two separate animal welfare offences and being investigated for one that never got to Court, this guy is unrepentent and has found a willing ear in a couple of farming newspapers that should know better.

And then we got our dog taken to the pound because we had been out three days in a row and each day put the dog outside on a chain with access to food and water and shelter, came home each afternoon/evening/night, fed the dog, brought it inside to sleep etc - except the third day when we came home to find the dog impounded. The animal control officer said "Oh, we thought you'd gone away on holiday and just left it there because we went past a couple of times over the last three days and it was outside."

Where did they expect us to put it? On the roof?

Cost us a fortune to get it out of the pound.

Then people seriously torture animals and pretty-much get away with it.

It's one of Martinboroughs finest.

Oh my!

I'll stick with vegetarianism I think - it's a 'get out of jail' free card to avoid eating strange creatures...that said, [just so you can all laugh at me] I'm pretty sure that you're more likely to be poisoned by plants.

[Disregarding foodbourne illness for a moment...Mmmm, African 'bush meat', strange and curious viruses...

]

People can choose to eat any animals they like if they are comfortable with that decision. If you haven't thought about it, or are in denial about how your tasty snack arrived on your plate/sharpened wooden stake etc, perhaps you should rethink your snacking decision.

If you wanna eat such delicacies, then be my guest...but Chicken...now THAT'S a dodgy meat on so many levels...

(A little levity is welcome after such a heavy thread on animal abusing scum - even if it's off topic. In spite of my 'academic' ramblings, I could not be responsible for my actions if I caught a farker abusing a helpless animal.)

They aren't juvies because the court would have suppressed their identities if they were under 17.

Dissagree. The video he posted is sick and obviously indicates that he has a sick mind.

Agree - although I'd temper that with the fact it is posted as an educational film.

I looked - I learned something, but I'm curious to understand what lessons I was supposed to learn.

What I did learn was that Spuddy and I (and Lou and scumdog and... dare I speak for you guys) share a similar perspective. And it's not an activity we'd engage in or support.

If you're going to kill something - have a reason to do it, and do it humanely.

Pretty damned simple really

PS - For those of you that know me well - it takes a lot to get my temper up - that film did it in about 20 seconds. I had to watch it 4 or 5 times to try and get objective about it.
