I haven't read the news article your talking about. All I got to say about this is or any other activity involving animals ......Everybody gets so carried away about mistreating an animal.    Why don't these same people who get mad about animal abuse have the same temper and passion about CHILD ABUSE, ABORTTION, DRUGS that are killing kids and adults. Seems to me a human life is a lot more important than any animal. I care about my animals I have but I would never put them before a human life.

To mymonie,

Well. then maybe you should see the article. This is more than animal abuse. These creatures were tortured for sexual gratification. They were nailed to a board and poked with sharp objects and laughed when the parrot was screaming in pain, and then they slowly cut the heads off.

Also, who ever said that human abuse is not important? This just happenes to be about animals.

i agree with you 100% mymonie.

I agree with you too mymonie. It's sickening what they did but I can think of lots of other things to be outraged about. I wonder how often it happens what Army Private Jesse Spileman and his buddies did. That's in the news too.

Child abuse, elder abuse and animal abuse deserve instant severe punishment. I'm with you Mike.

I don't think I want to look at the article or video, so I won't click on the link. Animal abuse gives me nightmares.

BTW, saying that animal abuse is criminal and immoral has nothing to do with how a person feels about child abuse. That's an absurd statement.   In fact, it's a fact that people who hurt animals are much more likely to rape or commit violence against a person. If you read the bios of people like Jeffrey Dohmer and other murderers, animal abuse is often the first step to being a serial killer.   Many prisoners who are incarcerated for violent acts against women tell their counselors that they started out by torturing a pet.

Please forgive my poor sentence structure. I didn't mean it's absurd to say animal abuse is criminal, just the opposite. For anyone who doesn't realize how much animal abuse is related to crime as a whole, I suggest you do a little research.

Thanx for the input everyone.

The only reason I posted this article was because It was in a local news channel. It has no reflection on how other tragedies are less or more important. I don't get some of your responses.

If I were to post something about water pollution, would you people respond by saying that I for got to leave out air pollution, or all the other aspects of the poor eco-system on our planet, or world hunger, AIDS, murder....and on and on?

Why even bother to post something about anything specific at all?

I might as well just post one blog to cover every atrocity on earth.

My next blog will read as follows...." The world is F...ed up". Is that better?...lol

anything a human does to an animal will come back to them sooner or later.i believe in it.this football player mike vick in his indictment it says he slammed these animals around and put them in water and shocked them.a few beefy guys in the NFL are awaiting that next opportunity to be the first to knock vick's head clean in the dirt.its going to happen.he will not get away with it.nor will others.
