Why is it acceptable to torture animals for food and clothing, but not for pornograpy?

@Aimay: Interesting point. I say this as a vegan who supports none of the above, btw.

I got about two paragraphs into this before getting up in a panic, going to fetch my two cats and locking them in my room with me.

My cats now hate Jezebel as I'm never letting them out of the house again!!

Um I almost puked after the first two paragraphs, but can't the Mormons fight this instead of gay marriage?

Seriously? Who the fuck are the people out there who DECIDE to TORTURE ANIMALS? As a vegetarian, obsessive mother to a Boston Terrier and all around overly emotional person, this shit will always screw with me. How can people hurt kitty cats?

@ArtfulSlinger: AMEN. Evangelicals worry about dumb shit like how they can prevent gays from marrying (it hurts no one!)...wouldn't God be more enraged that someone is deliberately harming these delightful, innocent little creatures that he created?!

I have seen one of these sick, horrid videos, and the images stick in my head to this day. I can't think about it too much or I will vomit. I read about it on a humane society website, I believe. Many of the vids come from China, where they don't give half a shit about animal welfare.

People who produce this stuff or wank to it deserve to be mauled by angry dogs. Dead serious.

NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO.NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO.

I hate people sometimes. Not just hate but murderous hate. Like I want to kill people sometimes. And this is one of those times.

Just No.

Fuck.

God help us all.

How is it not illegal to distribute a video of something illegal? Can anyone please explain? This is so, so wrong. I wish I was back home so I oculd cuddle with my pup...

I don't believe in hell, but that's where these people should go.

I'll settle on a lion mauling them, though.

"I just hope that, regardless of the Supreme Court's decision here, law enforcement starts cracking down on cruelty to animals - especially cruelty for profit, like dog-fighting."
What difference does it make to the animals whether the cruelty is for profit or sexual gratification? Cruelty is cruelty!

@bklyn155: Because profit makes it flourish more, and faster, and to more animals. Cruelty is cruelty to the animal, and must be stopped. But profit motive does horrible, horrible things, and encourages more people to get involved.

Wow, I'm troubled if I see a sizable insect get stepped on. If anything, these people should get help because it's well known that harming animals is a stepping stone to harming people.

The urge to inflict violence on people that do this to animals is rising. I can feel my blood boiling.

I could honestly see myself tackling the woman (with the heels) and choking her to the floor.

I would serve my time for the assault, sure, but I would still feel okay with my actions.

Maybe I should just send this over to my congressman instead and keep quiet...

@Sukie in the Graveyard: I dunno. I'd think you'd be hard pressed to get a jury to unanimous convict you for that. I know I'd vote not guilty by reason of "country justice."

As strongly as I believe in learning all you're able to retain, the fact that this exists makes me rethink that belief.
