Seriously, who here has never killed an animal? I'd wager we all have.
Now comes the part where someone chimes in with "I hunt for food, and eat what I kill."
Me too.
Now the hard question.
Who here, besides me, has ever killed an animal they didn't eat?
I used to shoot birds with my bb gun as a child. I didn't eat them.
I have killed squirrels, and rabbits, that for one reason or another didn't make it to the dinner table.
I have killed cats.
I have killed the occasional stray dog.
Am I evil?
I like dogs, don't get me wrong. I have had pets that I cared for. But for the life of me, I can't understand this system of thought that holds dogs on a higher level than the rest of the animals in this world.
I think we can disapprove of this marine's actions, without submitting him to capital punishment.
I'll quit posting on this topic now.
My appologies, if I offended anyone.
