I'll bet that he'll have plenty of fun in jail, huh?

I'd rather have my sister work in a whorehouse than own another Taurus!

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and take that as sarcasm. Besides, I love the word "freaking." Watch me use it in a sentence!
"I don't own a horse, but I do have a freaking dog."
All depends on what color the horse was!
I can't believe I said that.

Media notwithstanding, most people are greatly offended by cruelty to animals. I know I am. Scum who deliberately harm animals are candidates for serious psychotic behavior later. These scum pick on animals who can't fight back nor complain to the cops. Besides, they're scum.
When I've taken my dogs or cats to the vet for treatment, they are always properly given pain suppressants, just like humans should be. Horses should be the same. Otherwise it's thuggish. We used to brand criminals, cut off their hands, etc. People eventually got smarter. Same for our animals.
Even hunters or butchers despatch their animals as humanely as possible, hunters tracking a wounded deer to put it away, etc.
Why does this seem so difficult to grasp?
Not far from me, a man walked into a crowded bed bath and beyond store, walked up to a woman and her 9month old baby, and stabbed her in the back 12 times.
Two months prior, he was jailed overnight for adopting two cats and setting them on fire in their crates.
My sister is a social worker, and when I asked her why this guy wasn't psychologically examined after that incident, she said that in the eyes of the state, if he is of no danger to himself or others, he has rights and cannot be detained. how's that for a broken system?
A cig burn on an infant would be a million times worse.
I'm sure it was a pleasant experience for the bull.
I hope the horse survives and has not been too traumatized.
You're missing the point. I was talking about wanton and willful animal abuse, causing pain to an animal without morals or concern, just for grins, and this jerk did.
I'm not talking about hunting or butchering or any other sort of animal husbandry that's conducted performed in a humane manner and for a legitimate reason. For example, I'm personally opposed to trophy hunting for just the trophy, like antler rack. In this single point I'm probably opposite the belief of most on this forum. But that's the only objection I have to hunting. Hunting to thin the herd or kill pests (I changed my mind on this about gopher shooting after members here told me of the problem they cause with stock getting their ankles broken), or for game, I'm fine with.
But I'm NOT talking about animal husbandry, cpj, and I think you know it. A rational hunter doesn't take delight in seeing the deer or turkey or whatever die, per se. They delight in the shot itself.
My post was about this scum willfully causing harm to an animal. That is a sin against God and against nature. It's a sin against God because we are suzerain for the earth and we are stewards of its bounty, and any assault against this for joy or fun or malicious delight is a sin. And for non-religious, it's a sin against nature, to upset the balance of life and to disrupt the spiritual harmony of life, just for some crude pleasure or spite.
So, how come he didn't go to prison (or at least the loony bin) for stabbing the woman? How is it he was walking around free two months later?

Well, frankly, the animal castration without any anesthetic is not a very good idea, either. Isn't there some sort of spray that can be used quickly?
But my point is that even so, this is done for a real reason. The guy burning the horse was just being pond scum, doing it for hatred of the cops, I'm guessing.
Just because farm animals are put through pain doesn't give people the right to go around hurting them on a whim. That is a sin, I think.
But I guess that some folks think it's okay, harming animals carte blanche, just because they can.
Well, I'm not one of them, buf. I regard child abuse as one of the most evil acts that can be imagined, "Harm one of my little ones and it's better you have a millstone around your neck and be cast into the sea" or something like that.
It's just that it's very well documented that people who harm animals for spite or pleasure are on track to become child molesters, rapists, murderers, the worst.
And I still think it's a sin.
I would personally burn a horse with an acetylene torch if it would stop that child from being harmed.
That would be a start.
I agree Bryant, the guy who sat on the child to shush him is a psychopath. The guy who burned the horse is an eh-hole. HUGE difference. A PR24 to the head clears up the horse burning incident. For the psycho, you have to dig a little deeper...like six feet or so.
