It broke my heart, especially since at the time I was reading it my own pooch was sitting near me.

If anyone ever went near him....well I could not be held responsible for my actions. Assuming my Dad and brother didn't get to them first

I always wonder if thats what a person is willing to do to an animal, what would they do to a person who got on their bad side?

After I read it I just had to go and fuss over my dog... Its incomprehensible, a dog just would not understand, poor innocent yolk. You can just imagine them throwing it and the dog thinking it was fetch or something... sick.

If anyone did that to my dog I'd put them in the ground.

These same idiots would have been in town over the weekend/friday rioting just because it suited them. Who do you blame? The parents? Tv? Games?

Just blame the idiots themselves. Why complicate things by absolving them of personal responsibility? Saying that television and games cause this conduct is lazy and irresponsible tabloid thinking.

Your friend is full of sh*t.

Ya think? If an animal is treated well and slaughtered painlessly, I think it's not so bad.

If you are eating animals or the produce of animals who have lived miserable lives, I'm not sure you're in such a position to get up on your high horse. You can say this act was senseless and unjustified, and at least an animal killed for food was killed for a reason, but do you think animals give a **** if their killing is justified or no, if it's for the greater good? **** no, that's just ridiculous anthropomorphism and a transparent attempt to make us all feel better about ourselves.

Reading something like that reminds us what kind of people we have in our society. The fu*ker should be strung up.

Actions like this are so abhorrent that people want to believe that there must be something that warped the people responsible, to feel that such behavior is not natural, rather than accept, as I do, that some people are sadistic fcuks and thats just the way they are.

I don't think parents do enough to teach their children to respect animals (probably because the parents couldn't care less about animals themselves).

A while ago I saw a little scumbag spitting at a swan. The mother was standing right beside him. I shouted at the scumbag to leave the swan alone and the mother said "he's just giving the swan bread". I had seen what was going on from twenty or thirty feet away but the mother who, was standing right beside him, claimed to not know what was going on. I had even heard him saying to his sister at the top of his voice "he's eating my spit".

That's obviously not as serious as setting a pony on fire, but if someone doesn't stop him from treating animals like this he'll end up doing far worse.

If a sick fùck can do this to a defenseless animal then there wouldn't be much to drive them to do something violent to another human being.

You can't blame things like TV or video games or whatever, it absolves them of personal wrong doing and shifts the blame onto somewhere else completely different. There's things like their parents / enviornment they grew up in but it still shouldn't make excuses.

The scum should be tethered up and set on fire, see how funny it is then.

im certainly not absolving blame from these idiots because of tv/video games they are solely responsible for their actions. I meant to say what have these people thinking this way?

These yiung muppets are multiplying theyre in their late teens early twenties, and they think its good craic ti break up bus shelters throw stones at cars and hurt these poor animals. Theyre multiplying and these incidents are m

People.

Just another reason to hate them

AudreyHepburn · 21-05-2011 02:34PM

I would love some-one to explain to me what possible enjoyment could be gotten from watching an animal suffer? I mean what sort of person can stand there and laugh at an animal in flames/beaten/blown apart by fireworks/hung from a tree etc etc. What kind of mind comes up with something like that?

Unfortunatly not the sort that would have the intelligence to use Boards to explain themselves.

Yeah but isn't that like saying if someone can eat an animal then there wouldn't be much to drive them to eat another human being?

Childhood neglect is the far more likely answer than tv or videogames. They probably grew up in shit homes and nobody bothered to teach them right from wrong and instead unleashed them for the rest of society to have to deal with.

That, or they're born sociopaths, in which case I don't think much can be done there.

The FBI reseacrhed many case of animal cruelty and found that many people who commited cruely on animals went on to do the same to humans. Wheter people care about animal welfare or not is missing the point. Someone who does this to an animal is sixk and needs help.

Your vegetarian friend is a tool. Eating animals is part of nature. There are humane ways to kill animals.

+ a thousand. Many cases of animal cruelty have been linked to instances of child abuse.

No, that point that doesn't even make sense.

Comparing a meat eater to a person who tortures animals is ludicrous. Many, many violent people have started off from torturing / killing animals. Doing such a thing almost desensitises them to their violent actions.

It has to be the result of a really fúcked up upbringing. You would think anyone would feel sick at the thought of doing this to an animal. I suppose if you have zero respect for human life, you wont have any for that of an animal.

Sadly it doesn't, with some humans no amount of nurturing is effective to offset what's in build in them from nature. There is increasing evidence to show that the brain of a psychopath is different to that of other people.

Dont even try it. Theres a massive difference between this kind of mindless, gratuitous cruelty, and humanely killing an animal for the purposes of feeding and clothing people. The two are not comparable.

If your vegetarian friend can't see the difference between maliciously tying up a malnourished pony and setting it on fire for absolutely no good reason and the humane slaughter of animals for the purposes of food production then they need their heads examining.

She's obviously not getting the necessary vitamins and minerals from her vegetarian diet to allow her brain to function normally and rationally.
