MY PUPPY DOES NOT APPROVE.

I just felt the need to see my puppy again. And to get some cute out here in the midst of ugliness.

@cassis is a cereal girl: My response is going to cause this comment to expand, which is ironic because my comment is that when this is contracted, it reads "People are fucking evil. Now, I have a cat to smother..." which is HYSTERICAL. You get hearted for making me laugh, even though you didn't mean it.

I just had to fight the strongest urge to call my husband and listen to him play with our puppies for a few minutes just to make myself feel better.

Jeezus, who even thinks of doing these things! I mean, I can (sort of) understand thinking about simply killing the dog if it was an especially acrimonious break-up and emotions were running really high. But MAKING IT INTO A BELT?!

Also, only tangentially related, I learned today that many of Cruelle DeVille's mannerisms were based on Tallulah Bankhead. The more you know!

@Kate2.18: I take your point but this was motivated out of dislike for the person who gave her the puppy. As far as I know the slaughtering of cows for their hides has no such motivation.

@Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: it is this point that needs to be made. I don't really think it has anything to do with esteem for the animal culturally. More that you would kill something living out of spite for a person. I'd be just as appalled if it had been a cow.

@Kate2.18: i understand your logic. however, my issue is with the motivation behind the killing.

killing an animal for food or clothing is much, much different (regardless of the animal in question) than killing an animal to spite someone.

@Kate2.18: There are arguments to be made for/against vegetarianism and "speciesism," but come on, this is a puppy, brutally shot 10 times, for the sake of revenge. Let's unite in outrage instead of argue about morality.

@LadySoprano is a Fat-Fighting Superwoman: Yeah, like public execution.

Seriously, I'm (on principle) against the death penalty, but when I hear stories about people hurting little animals or children, I find it hard to not support death by stoning for such monsters.

hmm I am by no means a vegetarian, and i love puppies, but from the article, they did shoot the dog and then skinned it. How is that a fineable offense, but how is that any different that me going out and shooting a sheep that I own and butchering it and using its hide.

(i am talking legally, i understand how fucked up it is in real life, just to make it clear)

@save jinger: in fairness to hunters, you do require a license to hunt. I wasn't aware that one requires a license to own a sheep, cow or goat, and then slaughter it though.

@Lymed: But I doubt that every animal killed for agricultural production is killed without suffering, or that every hunter tries to reduce pain.

An aside: I live near Oklahoma and have spent many hours walking along the dirt roads in the country. The waste you see during hunting season is awful. I've often seen deer carcasses on the side of the road. Hunters take the head and leave the rest to rot.

@thePrototype: There are state laws governing how and where farm animals can be slaughtered, but they have more to do with public health and safety (contaminated meat, offal disposal issues, etc.) than the animals' well-being. Generally, an animal has to go to a licensed slaughterhouse if its meat will be sold or distributed, and in some places, it's illegal to kill your own farm animals yourself (mostly because of the noise and mess).

@thePrototype:

i believe it would fall under a cruelty to animals law, in which commonly recognized domesticated "pet" animals are protected. don't know if this would vary from state to state, though.

@Kate2.18: That's awful. That should be illegal. If you're going to hunt, at least utilize the meat/hide for a real purpose...don't just take the head as a prize and leave the rest of the body.
