| mesoteto said: yes and b/c of that we should treat other humans with respect and be good stewards of the planet and our resources, this of course extends to giving a helping hand and redemption if a dog were to bite your hand after going thru obedience school and learning that is not proper behavior, would you forgive it? and if so how is a dog worth more forgiveness then a human? |
I think you're missing my point, there are obviously times when an animal needs to be killed, for survival, because it poses a threat, because it's suffering, etc... What I have a problem with, is cruelty to animals when there is no reason.
Starving dogs and training them to kill each other to gamble on clearly falls within that definition, and that is not a humane thing to do. Punishing people for that isn't the same as treating animals like gods, Vick went to jail for 2 years, that's fair, he wasn't executed.
