Thats ridicilous
We can kill animals however we like, and then eat them, but not hit them?
But you aren't allowed to kill animals however you like, there are a lot of laws that regulate how you're allowed to kill them. (Though, enforcement is often lacking.)
Exactly
Because nobody really cares, and animals dont have souls, they were created to reproduce and be consumed by humans
Its inhumane to abuse animals, but I dont think it should be punishable by law, and especially not on paper like a record
And maybe, just maybe it was him releasing steam which is better on an animal than human
Well, neither do humans, but we care about those for the most part. Also many people care quite a lot about their pets.
Well, I very much think it should be. Guess we just disagree on that point. Though I do agree there should be a mechanism to clear juvenile records of people are rehabilitated/don't re-offend.
Well, maybe next time he should try a tree or something.
I guess we dont wanna live the same, and why should we? :)
I am religious and for me only humans have souls.
