anyways...

I don't even care what excuses foxes have for killing other animals. I'd just prefer my area to be rid of foxes rather than have them kill all the other animals. Children used to love watching all the rabbits and squirrels everywhere. Now there's hardly any and we have urban foxes sneaking around at night. Frankly, theyre a menace.

One fox can kill dozens of other animals so one fox dead saves numerous other animals. Now to me thats logic.

Just researched what vivisection is.

Spoiler:

Anyone who could do that to an animal is, quite simply, a cunt

Killing for food or killing to save futur food is one thing but killing for pure sadistic entertainment is something all together different as I know you are aware of from the points you raise......


If animals do need to be culled it should be done in a humane way as possible. Not some dick head of a sadistic fox hunter or some amateur shooter of farmer charging about with a gun.

All of the items listed in the poll can be concluded to be a form of cruelty simply because man is interfering with nature purly for entertainment.....

Thank you banarama, I abhore fox hunting,also however I have to say while I think most or even all the options are greatly undesirable anyway as to the options listed,the foie gras one has me feeling really sick.awful.

So this thread is asking, which degree of cruelty is least acceptable to you? All cruelty is deplorable. Gandhi said "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated". Ain't it the truth...

Not really, that's pretty poor logic to say the least

What's pretty poor logic? That I find all cruelty hard to accept? Or was it Gandhi's logic you were questioning?

Ghandi saying that a nations "greatness" and "moral progress" is defined by how they treat their animals, I dont agree with that at all

Can you imagine the stress they must feel? This must affect the milk that humans drink.
