Most serial killers get their start killing and torturing animals, Mason. 

My dog is a better friend to me than some people, and I have started to think of him almost as a child.  Therefore, I have the same reaction to the thought of anyone hurting him as I do to the thought of someone hurting one of my kids - someone had better be prepared to come and get me from jail, 'cause that's where I'd be if I caught up with the mofo who did it. 

At our last base, an Airman had a litter of AmStaff pups.  He not only separated them from their mother when they were 4 weeks old, but he clipped their ears with a pair of kitchen shears. I cannot imagine the noise those poor things made...it must have been a horrendous experience for them.  By the time the ASPCA got around to going out to pay him a visit, he'd got rid of the pups and their momma. So, no charges were brought against him. That made me even madder.  However, karma did it's thing, and he got into a bar fight, got prosecuted, sent to jail, and kicked out of the military.  THAT made me very happy. 

I'd still have preferred that someone clipped HIS ears with a pair of dull and rusty garden shears, but I'll take what I can get.

I think that we as a society need to start getting tougher on people who abuse and/or neglect animals.  Seems like a lot of people are getting away with murder.

Where is PETA when you need them? Unfortunately, no one will listen to them because of their extemism, but this is where they would be most effective.  If they were not a bunch of loons!

I respect the idea behind PETA, but not the organization itself. Any group who is supposed to be supporting Animal Rights that kills animals and employs terrorist tactics is just a bunch of asshats IMHO
