I couldn't agree more with you. If there's one thing that really gets the devil out of me...so to speak, is when a animal is suffering. Awhile ago i was watching this video of a labrador dog on some of those 'funny' videos sites , just sleeping and minding his/her own business, it seemed like a gas station where the dog was sleeping.
All of the sudden this group of teenagers or whatever comes walking by, and smacks the dog with their skateboard, MULTIPLE times. At that same moment my bulldog was laying on the couch and i just looked into her eyes and for a short moment i imagined that happening to her.....well i couldn't . There was a piece of text next to the video that said that the dog had survived it, and that a group of animal lovers/supporters went after these %$*&^#@ cowards...apparrently they were beaten up and then arrested.
Now that was in America...so i expect that they got a nice prison time...let's hope. At least in the US , they DO SOMETHING against it, when you do something horrible to an animal in my country(The Netherlands/Holland) whether it be an animal on the streets or a pet...you don't really get a big punishment, not at all. I remember this article in the paper awhile ago, about a man that attacked his dog with the vacuumcleaner , you know ...the thing that you hold when cleaning...(don't know what its called) he had repeatedly hit the dog on his head with it until he.......couldn't feel any pain anymore......he actually admitted all of this. His reason? He thought his dog was gay, cause he had seen some 'suspicious things' regarding his dog and another dog or whatever....
His punishment? LAUGHABLE!!!!! A freaking fine, just some amount of money he had to pay...NO PRISON time. I'm sorry but i can get so furious about things like this. What the hell man. I don't condone violence...in real life, but i can understand so well if someone beats a guy like this, or even takes his life....i really don't know what i would do if something like this happened to my dog, by someone else's hands...i really don't. But a person that takes revenge on someone like that..is a hero in my eyes for sure.
A long while ago when i was starting to get into rap music, i especially liked the music of rapper DMX. Me as a huge animal friend thought it was pretty cool how that dude seemed to love his dogs so much and things like that.
That was until i actually heard a few songs where the idiot was simply bragging about how long his dogs would last in a dogfight, then i read about how he got arrested awhile ago, for having his pitbulls in his basements in very small cages, underfed, no water...etc...right now he's rotting in prison(but not for long anymore sadly...) for cruelty to animals. He admitted to partaking in dogfights, they found over 13 dead pitbull bodies on his property but blaims the dog caretaker....yeah..my ass.
At that time i had recently bought tickets to a concert of his, but i simply couldn't go anymore. By going to this asshole's concert, i am paying him money, so in my eyes...that's paying money to someone who doesn't even deserve life in my opinion, treating your dogs like that. So i sold them, and was very happy with that decision.
I hate how people in this world want real fur for their coats instead of FAKE FUR, which is like 100% similar in terms of looks....
I hate how monkeys get treated in some countries, wasting their days leashed on a chain, helpless.....the clubbing of seals, and so much more.
Yes, i think i could and should call myself a hypocrit, cause i do eat meat and love it. At the same time i say it's horrible for the animals.
However.......when it comes to fur, people CAN choose to wear fake fur, but for some reason they just want the real stuff, and don't care about an animal.
