How many of you are vegetarians? Bashing an animal in the head with a baseball bat is not cruelty. That's probably the most humane way of killing it with limited resources.

I think it's more to do with the manner in which it was killed, it was done for entertainment, not for food or because it "the most humane way" of doing things

Although I do find it quite hard to get really worked up about this, there are far worse things happening in Afghanistan after all, and I do eat sheep all the time and I'm sure the way it is often killed in an abattoir isn't always so humane either

hypocrisy is in no short supply here at TiBB

I get what you're saying, and I agree with the abattoir comment, but this has been done for fun. I don't agree with any kind of killing for fun, not hunting stuff you're not going to eat and definitely not beating an animal to death with a baseball bat while dickheads around you whoop and clap like the morons they are.

I'm not making it anything, I'm just pointing out hypocrisy.

how do you know it was done for fun? The video doesn't explain at all why the sheep was killed or what they did with the meat afterwards. Do fisherman not get excited and cheer when someone catches a large fish to kill?? Do hunters not get excited when they kill a large deer and celebrate??

If those posts are to me lostalex, I have you on ignore so I don't have to deal with your nonsense. Just so ya know and don't have to waste your time.

Yeah I do agree with that

Edit - your post I mean, not the whooping at the animal being beaten with a baseball bat

Thanks for that MTVN - much appreciated.

I'm happy confirm your earlier comment that the thread is less to do with the nationality - and more to do with the manner in which the animal was treated and the apparent glee shown by the onlookers (regardless of their nationality).

Yes ALL cowardly idiots that like to feel their 'power' over life and death,No need to kill in such a barbaric way unless of course you are a moron of the highest degree.

I would never respect people like that, no matter what job they do.

I take it you're using the term "men" in its loosest possible form.

You mention animals and kids, I saw a really interesting documentary about how animal protection officers in the USA are being trained to look for signs of child abuse, because one type of cruelty often follows another.

and what is a non-barbaric way to kill?

Please inform of us the CIVILIZED way to kill something. There's nothing civilized about killing. but we do kill animals, we are a species that eats other species.

Style should not be an issue when it comes to killing., the fact is we all enjoy the benefits of kiling, whether it's killing on an industrial scale, or on a personal scale, we all eat meat and we all accept that killing is part of our nutritional requirements as a species. (unless yur a vegan, although yur still kiling plants)

We aren't discussing talking about animals for food - the whole ISSUE here about this thread is that supposedly 'American' SOLDIERS have been part of this brutal, barbaric, clubbing to death of a defenceless animal, in the most appalling manner, and being seen to enjoy it - as well as the person doing the actual beating of the animal.


THAT is the context of the thread. Not how animals are killed overall.....it is the MANNER in which SOLDIERS are happily witnessing this - one even dragging the poor beast to it's horrendously hellish death.

I'm sorry, but unless you are a vegan, you are a hypocrite. Being happy about feeding your friends is not an evil thing, that is an act of love.

Think about all major events and holidays and celebrations.. what is the center of the event usually?? It's a MEAL, usually with a BIG hunk of MEAT that everyone shares.

Are you unable to discuss the subject of a thread without spinning it into something it's not about. It's not exactly difficult to follow.

This isn't a story about killing animals for food - it's about the sheer brutality and pleasure / amusement being shown by 'American' Soldiers who stand back and appear to think it's all one big laugh.
