I’m no great fan of racoons or squirrels. But I wouldn’t go out of my way to ever harm one unless it gave me a reason I can’t ignore (property damage, etc.).
I like raccoons and squirrels, in fact, I’m an animal lover, and there is no way I could watch those barbaric Demons torture an animal.
My take on it is that, while those animals may be viewed as vermin by some, there is no reason to take joy in their slaughter. To do so opens a window into one’s soul that shows others what our true nature is.
Interesting thing-we expect humans to be cruel to other humans. It is in our nature, to a degree, and there is so much of it that we are not surprised by it or even repelled by it as much as we should be. We expect it, sadly.
But when we see cruelty towards innocent animals, we are usually repelled by it. Not the simple killing as might be seen be eradicating rats due to hygiene and disease considerations, but the killing for sadistic pleasure.
To most people, seeing an adult engaging in abuse of a dumb animal often tells us much about the person. And none of it is good.
So I am not in the least surprised that these kinds of people take pleasure in this blood lust slaughter of a dumb animal. If they ever get their hands on power, such as happened with their ideological brethren in the French Revolution, you understand fully what those who oppose them can expect. Again, it tells us volumes about them.
And none of it is good.
