Animal Abuse

[Evelia]

I can't even watch Animal Planet except for "Planet's Funniest Animals." It's too sad.

I tend to care more when people abuse people. That happens pretty often too, and there's enough of that to worry about that I tend not to waste my time worrying about the animals of the world. Animals < people.

I don't hurt animals though, and I don't like it when I see it. I don't like people who do it. I can't even step on bugs, I have to catch them and release them out the window. People who hurt animals out of ignorance are pretty bad, but people who do it for fun are just depraved. If you find joy in inflicting pain on someone or something innocent, there's something mentally wrong with you.

Has anyone ever watched that show on Animal Planet with the cops going around and saving neglected and mistreated animals? . . . that shows makes me cry sometimes.

Same here. It's horrible to see the poor creatures all hurt with cuts or mange.

The closest thing to animal abuse I've done is flick my bunny on the nose when he bit me. Just lightly, since they have sensative noses. Its how you train rabbits not to bite, and after only a couple of times he never bit anyone again that I know of. I miss my bunny. ;_;

Same, I have trained my bunny not to bite like that. I just tap her on the nose, and she stops. I dont hit her hard, but it gets the point across to her. Its just a light tap for training.

Not dogs, all animals. The only time id hurt one is in self defence

I don't like it when people hurt animals, because it's harming those who are weak and defenceless. People who pick on others, or rape, are also the same people who abuse animals. It's all goes down to the same bully-esque personality type, the sadist.
