Tucker Carlson reported that several jurisdictions may soon consider motions to create registries for animal abusers the same way sex offenders are documented.
Carlson said Tennessee is currently the only state that has such a registry.
But, he said legislation has been passed in Cook County, Ill., which is home to Chicago, and Massachusetts and Arizona are considering legislation to create such lists.

Or pest control, or hunting.
A agree with you. We don’t need sex offender registries. Just let the family take care of things.
in ten years chickens, pigs, cows.
Today what we call FOOD.
I don’t think it should be a law, because what happens if a PETA member decided to kill a person on the register. I heard that a sex offender got killed because of the sex offender list. He was 17 and the victim was 14...
So do nothing and let it continue or get worse. Nah; I’ll take my chances with labeling them and registering them.
No animal, not even farm animals which will be processed for food, should ever be abused. The goal is to identify these sick people and keep an eye on them. We already know they have no sense of empathy making them potential killers without cause or reason.
A good hunter would never let its prey suffer from a bad shot. He would kill it as soon as possible.
If I had my way; people who do harm to animals that can’t protect themselves would be put away to never live another minute in civil society. They have proven they are nothing but a rabid animal who should be put down for the good of everyone. They are not human.
Abortion is an entirely different subject. Why in the world would you bring it up here? The two are in completely different universes.
Now if you had said something about those who abuse and hurt small children; I'd say the punishment should be to put them away for life. They too have proven themselves to be inhuman and not deserving of the rights humans have.
Maybe one day humanity will evolve to the point when being human comes with certain responsibilities which when abused would result in them given non-human status without the rights humans have. They could be euthanized, for example, for the good of the herd of other non-humans. Maybe they would be called post-humans so it would be clear they had done something so bad they gave up their humanity and became a sub-human.
How would that work? Take them behind the woodshed to cut sex organs off?
Yup.Ten years for failing to register as a climate "denier" or a "transphobe".
A feel-good tar baby that would quickly expand to pauperize and "control" property owners who attempt to rid their homes of vermin.
You don't know that and it actually goes against common sense. Yes, I know leftists have no common sense, and there are those who use animal rights as an excuse to control people just like the EPA does but we can't just do nothing. That's worse than the risk of those would would abuse the laws.
People sometimes confuse having smaller government with no government. One is a civil society of laws and rules; the other is anarchy. The goal is to keep things as lean and efficient as possible. It's a shame when common decency has to be mandated because there are so many who abuse the privilege of being considered a human. Maybe that needs to change; human status. I guess we already do that with felons who no longer have all the rights a non felon has. Maybe we need to take it up a notch.
As the world devolves and over populates; something will have to give. Human status may be the one thing to get the attention of those considering certain crimes. Hurt someone; lose humanity points. Lose enough points and the person is no longer a person. Just spit balling here but things will get worse. What then?
This is dumb. What’s abuse? If you don’t take your pet to the vet, is that abuse? How about shooting chipmunks or squirrels in your yard? If a dog is left outside all the time but is fed is that abuse? How about having a de-clawed cat because it stays in doors but destroys your furniture?
For every case of some deranged asshole setting an animal on fire to torture it there’s hundreds of what I listed above. It will all come down to who decides...
The world is not overpopulated nor is it becoming overpopulated.
Is there some reason we can't do both; chew gum and walk at the same time?
More often than not, animal abusers turn into those who murder/abuse children and the elderly. No sense of guilt. No conscious to keep them from doing it. No empathy.
If we identify them early when they are abusing animals; maybe we can prevent some of the crimes against people later on. That's the theory anyway. There may not be a way to fix people who can't feel guilt or empathy so what do we do with them? Nothing is stopping them from being the next mass murderer or whatever. If we can identify, test, and treat those who can be fixed and figure out what to do with those who can't; maybe we have made the world a little better.
I dunno; it's too big for just any one person or group of people to figure out. I do know that putting the head in the sand and ignoring the problem isn't working.
No one wants to see any loss of rights or privacy but we can't solve problems by ignoring them. I know people like that and it never works out well for them. It always catches up.
No, it’s not dumb, and of course common sense must be used. We are talking about people who hurt animals on purpose. Things like beating them or taking a hot iron to them or some such thing.
You’re talking about neglect which is wrong as well but does not rise to the level of hurting an innocent being on purpose.
I think that’s the problem here. Some people simply don’t see animals as living beings other than as food. Not sure where they got that idea but they couldn’t be more wrong if they tried. I think I’m becoming aware of just how many people in the population lack that all important empathy gene required to understand this. It could be something as simple as that sense of empathy was neglected and never got a chance to grow and develop in some people for who knows what reason.
Some people seem to think no animal has a soul so it can’t go to heaven. Try telling that to someone who’s dog or cat of 10-25 died. Who feels that loss as much as they would as if it were a child. Don’t bother trying to tell them it’s not the same thing because it most definitely is. We just condition ourselves to accept the shorter life span and to brace for that terrible day we all know is coming. The pain is the same.
Want to protect innocent human life? Start with protecting the innocent animals.
I shot two white-tails last hunting season...guess I should register.
I’m sure those bacteria have lil’ bacteriums that will never see their mammy and pappy. I think you just destroyed one huge happy sorta home.
You need to register.
Of course we are becoming over populated. We have doubled the earths population in just 75 years. If we do it again in another 75 years; we're done. Finished. Stick a fork in us and call it an experiment called the human virus that multiplied until there was no way to sustain life on the gift called the earth.
The only thing that will save us or slow it down short of a mass extinction type event is to emigrate off world to other planets were we will no doubt over populate and ruin as well.
Frankly I think we will kill ourselves planet wide with only enough survivors to start over again before we have the technology to pioneer the stars. It's in our nature. We can barely get along with those whom we politically disagree with. Islam is another deadly disease pushing us into extinction.
I'm not making this stuff up. I'm just an observer in the last quarter of my life. I wish it weren't so but we are what we are; us humans. Half of which don't even have enough empathy to understand the need to protect innocent animals and do what needs to be done to those who do abuse them before they move on to people of all ages and genders.
We see Europe committing suicide by Islamic refugees without the courage or understanding to stand up and fight back to preserve their homeland and culture before it's gone forever. If we can see it; why can't they?
I'm curious though; what makes you think we aren't over populated and over populating at a record pace with everything we know about our limited resources?
Did you kill them or wound them then let them suffer until they died? If it was the latter then yes; you should.
The lists will increase until everyone is some type of offender. Be careful what you ask for.
