I completely agree with the no torture or killing for fun opinions. And, tricking people into a thread is funny sometimes. NOT when you intend to harm or offend the viewers.
However, I am sort of confused by some of my own thoughts on what is not acceptable treatment of animals (in general in the U.S.).
What if it was a snake or a rat (instead of a cute cat) in the pics? Would everyone (who is offended) be just as offended?
What about Bow Hunting? That is killing animals for fun (sometimes for food) with an old fashioned weapon that probably never kills the animal quickly. Imagine a deer with an arrow in it's ass trying to find a place to hide from the looney new bow hunter who is trying to shoot another arrow into his heart and or lungs (this time).
What about trappers who catch animals in traps and the animals struggle with their paw trapped in a steele trap (for hours or days)? All this for a purse, belt or coat? I'd probably chew my own leg off to get away too!
Now, I'm not advocating putting any of these pics up and tricking people into looking at them, but just think about how outraged you are about the killing of that animal and think about how you feel about the few things I posted. Just thinking out loud.
I don't hunt. I like pets. I eat meat. I have leather shoes and belts. I'm not sure what I really think about how we treat animals around here.
Most importantly, if I want to see pics of cats being killed, I'm sure I could find them somewhere. Don't make me see things (by tricking me) I don't want to see.
