Ann, I said that as a question, rhetorically, in that post. It ends in a question mark.
It is senseless to be militant about the rights of animals when humans are what deserve true compassion.
No, I absolutely do not put animals before humans. I eat meat and have butchered animals for their meat. I support animal testing to benefit mankind. But I learned at an early age that it’s wrong to torture animals for entertainment. As an adult I learned that it can, and often does lead to torturing humans. The video we discussed does indeed contain footage of animal abuse. If you have the stomach for it, watch the segment beginning at 6:25 into that video. There’s no excuse for swinging an animal through the air and slamming it into a wall. That’s just plain wrong, and I won’t change my mind about that. I don’t understand how anyone could promote animal torture under circumstances, especially knowing that it puts people at a higher risk of being abused. I hate reading stories like this where a little girl gets murdered. I can’t imagine promoting a deviant behavior that’s known to lead to this. It’s just wrong any way you look at it.
