I doubt it, but let's give it a go.

It's not. We evolved and we now eat animals. I honestly cannot see the difference between eating a kitten or eating veal. Eating a beef patty or a dog one.

Well, I don't agree with the death penalty for starters. And most MASS murderers have a deeply rooted mental problem. They are ill. I think it is wrong to punish and kill people that have an illness. I think, as an evolved society, we should HELP those people. Fix their brains and remove their illness. Not kill them.

Again, those people do those things out because something is wrong. Wrong with their heads, or wrong with society. VERY few people I am aware of rape, watch CP or rob people *for a laugh*. They do it because they are compelled to for some horribly dark reason.

Yes.
And animal is an animal.
OK, I am not a bastard. The dog being shot and buried is awful. And shouldn't happen. No doubt. But when there are so very many humans in need of help, I think it's sad people spend energy worrying about walking food.
Let's fix all the humans that are getting fucked over first, and then move on to the animals.
