well it really depend o were they get there ethics from for example Immanuel Kant said what bring more pleasure to more people at the time is right so if they 2 people doing it enjoy it at the time in his ethical theory it is seen as morally right

but i still think that is right to do anything realy untill the animal is dead killed in a human way

Maybe they think slaughtering it when it's alive brings out the BBQ taste...no?

Therefore you can't slaugher animal that you've already killed, I think we're using the wrong termanoloy.

My imagination after reading this is probably half as disgusting as the videos and I've already lost all my appetite (and my stomach is empty). Would be cool if that animals were smart like in the movies and planned a huge attack against the slaughterers, but life isn't fair, especially for the animals.

Kinda off topic but what you said reminds me of Pokemon. Yes, Pokeman. Like the pokemon have the ability to probably eliminate the human race... but instead get pushed around by their master and go into this freakin tiny ball.

What I'm trying to say is even animal abuse is happening right before your eyes and when it's too late, abuse would become part of life.... like the cute little pokemans.

no with pokemon the owners friends and they both like each other unless you are the bad guy etc... but pokemon are not killed just looked after buy the owner like a pet and look how easy there life is eat, sleep and do what ever else they like

This thread isn't about killing animals, it's about abuse. And would you want to be stuffed into a ball for hours?

but they go in to mini form!

Animal Cruelty is sick, end of. Whoever voted for "yes, I don't like animals" should get the same treatment as some animals get every single day of their (short) lives...
