Actually, it is funny. Moron. Unless you weren't being sarcastic. The I'm glad you agree. But if you were being sarcastic, then you're a fucktard.
In my opinion, no animal cruelty is justified BUT, children experiment all the time. Burning ants and putting salt on slugs is almost a part of growing up. It's a learning experience and doesn't indicate mental illness by any means. Keep in mind, I am referring to children, whose brains are not completely developed. If you are a matured, healthy individual, you should know that animal cruelty is not right. Nor is it funny.
To this day I still aim for groundhogs. The worst was when I I saw one in a big field I was cutting at work and it had nowhere to go. I was on the Dixie Chopper which claims to be the worlds fastest mower. Well it's not too quick now, but when I was on it, I aimed for that bastard and he couldn't get to his precious little hole in time. Mowed the little prick right over. Don't feel too bad about it. I hate groundhogs.
I've never put salt on a slug, even as a child. But I've always wanted to. As for the burning ants thing, I tried it a couple weeks ago, and it really doesn't work. The ants move too fast.
I did it a long time ago, and it's worth it. Who the Hell cares about slugs anyway? I hate the damn things. It's fun to watch 'em freak out.
Do you think it makes you look tough to do that? You with a machine against a helpless innocent animal. No. You look fucking pathetic. I hope you get run over by a lawn mower.
I guess while we're on the topic, I might as well make a confession. When I was about 5, maybe 6, I used to live in an apartment on a lake. There were lots of ducks all around all the time. Anyway, one day I picked up a switch, and whipped one of the baby ducks a couple times. The mother and all the other babies ran into the lake, and the one I gimped did too, but it was having trouble swimming. When they reached the center of the lake, I saw the mother duck pecking the shit out of, and I guess drowning the one that I crippled. That made me feel bad, and I guess it still does when I think about it. Aside from that, growing up, and until i was about 11 or so, I killed lizards a few times. I did some pretty sick shit like twisting their heads off with my bare hands, and impaling them with sticks. That and the usualy bug burning/squishing. I really have no explanation for why I did it other than curiousness and cruelty. I guess kids can be pretty sadistic sometimes...
I do not think it's fair to say that "kids can be cruel and saddistic sometimes." A.- There is a destinct line between NOT knowing better, not know what the fuck you are doing compared to purposely hurting + killing animals for the fun of it. B.- I was raised to have respect for animals, no one in my family ever hurt them. But I am sure some kids that didn't have good romodel towards animals, didn't want to be like them so they changed. I don't think just because you are under the age of 13 or something, you should be excused for this behavior. In many of the stories I read on here, I was honestly sickened.
Don't take it so seriously Animal Liberation... Animal cruelty isn't acceptable, but sometimes kids need to experience it to learn better. Look at it the other way... remember When that Roy Horn guy from Siegfried an Roy was attacked by a tiger... you had to think that was funny.
I have the right to take it seriously, and I do. Your comparison about the tiger, makes no sense. Those are wild animals that were taken and trained to do tricks, so other people would get money. When you mess with animals, i think it is only logical to expect them to act like animals. I'm sure they were thinking "let me torture this human."
Were you ever four years old, or did you spring out of some hole from hell, cause that's EXACTLY what 4 year-olds think about. You're just way too high on your animal rights beliefs. You need to chill the fuck out. BTW I've never been cruel to animals and don't condone it...but animals are not people, and there is a difference whether you wanna believe it or not. And most insects life spans are about a day anyway, so don't feel bad for them. They'll be on the earth long after we're exetinct.....
:X Tell me about it... I have a 3 year old son...:X I'm already cringing at the thought of the antics he'll be pulling when he's a little older. Let's just hope he doesn't burn the house down...or somebody elses.
I can feel the love in this thread! I don't recall doing anything to serious, but me and my friend used to throw his cats and dogs together and watch them fight... And yes kids do dumb & fucked up (by adult standards) stuff, its part of growing up.
Oh and just to let you guys know siegfried and roy donate millions of dollars to various animal causes. And during the incident the animal did not attack roy, it bit him in the neck and carried him off because it was trying to protect him (roy had some kind of health problem, forget what exactly).
humans think they can do anything they want to animals, and thier lives dont matter. i admit, i think that way about other humans...
While some of these were horribly fucking sick, some were really funny. Let me add to the massacre. 1--I was hanging out with this kid kevin. Well, he takes me behind his garage and shows me this bucket full of thick grayish brown junk. Two little girls from next door took their pet rabbit and threw them in a bucket full of cement. Well, if you could image, it was pretty fucking nasty. 2--When the hurricanes were here, some fucking hick in an Asplundh truck ran over a turtle right in the street. All his shit was lying out in the street, and he was still alive. So I got a shovel and chopped his head off, but I did'nt get it all in one swing, so it took me two or three times. Yes, turtles scream. 3--My friend used to raise chickens(kevin from #1) and we would always throw them off of his roof and watch them try to fly. 4--I like taking two ferrets and throwing them on top of eachother. They always fight, it fucking rocks.
