SurferNerd, I'm not a member of PETA and I don't care if you eat meat or hunt just seems like you have a warped sad sense of sadistic humor and gain sadistic enjoyment from seeing something harmed. And, when someone pts. it out you try to shrug it off with wry humor.
Isn't that what the military does? It psychologically trains soldiers to view the human enemy as being less or non human, less worthy of life than the one pulling the trigger or dropping the bomb. It makes it easier to take the life of something else because that something else's life is not worth as much as your own or the ones on your side or that the other life really isn't a life at all.
Isn't it also known that many serial killers also abused and tortured animals before they started their human killing sprees?
All adds up to devaluing life! And, then it's made to be a joke? That's how you deal with it?
