So we should follow nature's example then? Lots of animals eat their own babies - apes fling shit at eachother. Many animals shit in their own sleeping spots. Should we be doing that now?
I don't really define nature as cruel because nature is not sentient. I believe cruelty requires intent, nature doesn't really mean to be cruel, it's apathetic. Unlike some of us humans. And I don't think it can be used as an excuse to act like a total jerkwad anyway.
Can't really compare human cruelty to that of the wild. One is driven on instinct, the other is driven on pre-meditated thought, aware of the consequences.

^ I see. Your excuse must be abject stupidity.
Your dog just ate an avocado!
You made it suffer unnecessarily, by your own hand. You seem to think this is right? I'm not really talking about the actual killing here, moreso how you did it.
One wonders why you did that instead of just killing it. Maybe it's because you are a coward with little conscience?
jong comes out of lurking to join this forum just to post in this thread because he is butthurt over a mouse suffering
i see we're starting the new year off right
People can rationalise his action all they want, but it's still wrong for him to do that. And I hope he learns from it before karma bites him back on the arse.
To much of this going on this thread:

i bet gavin doesnt eat hot peppers because they suffer and are in distress more than the sweet peppers.
when was the last time you ate meat, chicken or eggs, jongavin?
did you make sure they were all freerange and given daily massages?
of course not
so stfu you hypocrite
Yes, I'm sure they stick cows and chickens in superglue and make them rip off their own skin and limbs before throwing them in the garbage bin, starving them to death.
In comparison, killing animals in the meat industry is humane. It's usually an instant death, so I have no issues there. In fact, that is why there are laws pertaining to their slaughter.
Killing animals in a humane manner for meat is one thing, intentionally letting them suffer on superglue for a loooong period of time without killing them is something else entirely. If you can't see the difference, then you are a moron.
