Is it too much to ask that the good ole NFL boys involved in dog fighting be hanged from the nearest tree?
I'm in the mood for a lynching under the circumstances. Perhaps before we do that, we could strip them naked, handcuff and shackle them, wrap bacon around their dicks, put them in a ring with some of their tortured dogs and just, you know, see what happens.
We can hang what's left of them. And leave them dangling while the crows and vultures pick their bones, as a warning for others...like they used to do with pirate corpses.
If Michael Vick isn't banned from football, Caligula is emperor, and I don't want to live here anymore.

I read somewhere that, according to the FBI, most serial killers begin their 'careers' by torturing and killing animals.
ReplyDeleteAssuming that to be correct (it makes sense to me) I believe 'cruelty to animals' should be considered a very serious criminal offence and perpetrators punished accordingly.
BTW, it is widely believed that we Brits are a nation of animal lovers - and indeed most of us(indigenous Brits) are. However, this belief no longer holds true, as not only do the British government allow the ritual Halal slaughter of animals, but actively encourage it (many schools now serve Hallal meat in order to avoid being branded 'racist' against Muslims and Jews).
GS, if you don't want to live 'there' anymore, you are more than welcome to come and live 'here'; and bring a truck load of guns with you coz I could use some target practice...and there's no shortage of targets!
Afterthought: most of 'em 'white' believe it or not!
Believe it or not for those sheltered types from the cities, there are parts of America where dog and cock fighting are considered to be part of the culture and have been for almost 400 years.
ReplyDeleteIf you truly believe in freedom, then how can you justify imposing your beliefs on someone several thousand miles away who has no interest in them? Isn't that your complaint about the left?
Anon...you SO mistake me.
ReplyDeleteI do not believe that all cultures are "equal". I am not a "moral relativity" guy.
There is right and there is wrong. Cruelty to animals is wrong. I don't give a damn how long one's ignorant forebears have been doing it, or how far away from me they live!
People who engage in it have to be civilized either by persuasion or force. I don't care which.
Doing anything the fuck you want, no matter who it hurts is not freedom. It's criminal, uncivilized licentiousness.
I have no problem "imposing" behavior that prevents the wanton torture of animals on assholes too stupid or too evil to know better.
I'm ok with "imposing" by belief that people...no matter how far away they live...can't murder each other either.
BFB, the more civilized and advanced a culture, the more compassionate they are toward animals.
ReplyDeleteThe Third World has a rather less exemplary record. Just a fact of life.
It's our "burden" to bring enlightenment to the savages. Especially when they're living among us.
Encouragement and persuasion is the best way, of course, but a noose is certainly quicker and easier.
"the more civilized and advanced a culture, the more compassionate they are toward animals."
ReplyDeleteTell that to my government!
"It's our "burden" to bring enlightenment to the savages."
The old "white man's burden", eh?
" but a noose is certainly quicker and easier"
Amen to that!
Thank you Rudyard Kipling! It IS Rudyard Kipling, right?
ReplyDeleteWell put, moral relativism does lead to some interesting problems.
ReplyDeleteI had hoped that you would go there because in conversations I've had with American and British "Intelligensia", if you replaced the words animal cruelty with gun ownership your conversations would miror each other. I found that rather amusing.
The difference is, the argument against animal cruelty is based on compassion, the one against guns is based on fear.
ReplyDeleteFear is not a moral value.
Hear, hear.
ReplyDeleteI stood at a school bus stop several years ago, waiting to put my first-grader on the bus for the first day of school. A middle-eastern family was also waiting, with their first-grader who didn't speak a word of English and was terrified.
When the bus came, the little middle-eastern girl didn't want to get on the bus. She was sobbing and paralyzed with fear. Her mother commenced a beating the likes of which I'd never seen, which went on as long as it took me to realize what was happening and quickly intervene. After a short and rather gratifying struggle, I placed the little girl's hand in the hand of my totally traumatized daughter, they smiled at each other through their tears, and boarded the bus together.
Some would say that the public beating of children is a cultural norm and that I should not have intervened. Certainly the family in question believed so.
I say that those who choose to live in America also choose to live by the rules we impose upon our citizens, both for safety and for the sake of civilization.
Public or private torture of children is unacceptable here, as is public or private torture of animals. This is not a secret withheld from certain "cultures" that share this soil. This is not law that is upheld in some parts of the country and not in others. To excuse such barbarism based on "cultural norms" invalidates the very human substrate of why America exists at all:
FREEDOM IMPLIES LIMIATIONS. The word has no relational concept otherwise.
Michael Vick - and all those like him - should be prosecutred to the fullest extent of the law.
Daughter..Isn't THAT just what we want to see increasingly in our neighborhoods?
ReplyDeleteJeez, what a friggin' nightmare.
You are so right. Freedom requires restraint and responsiblity. Exactly what the idiots on the Left perpetually fail to understand.
