Ok we're not talking about throwing cattle out of a window here. We're talking about throwing someone's PET. Have you ever owned a pet? Most who have, love them as dear as their family members. Thus, throwing someone's pet out a frickin window is the same as throwing one of their family members. It has the same effect on the person. Therefore should be punishable the same to the offender.Originally posted by: PC166
You could import this to korea where they would pay good money to eat it lol. Ah the money is good. In china, laos, thailand, cambodia, and phillipine too where dogs are raised as farm animal and they love to eat them just like chicken cows pigs here. hehe to each his own.
How low the value of human life has sunk. Do you actually think if someone kills a human being and he gets the death penalty, it's because he made the other family members feel bad?! I dont think so. I dont wanna turn this thread into a death penalty flamefest, but seriously, get a grip. It's a sick, twisted thing he did, but he didnt kill a human being. If you wanna equate your life to a dogs life, thats fine, just dont go around advocating death for someone who kills a dog.

I can't believe how some people act these days. They use absolutely no common sense and have no regard for other people/animals. If this argument had happened 30 years ago, do you think he would have killed the dog? NO. he would have exercised restraint. it seems like anything goes in today's society, and it makes me sick. :disgust:

but if you ask me, it should be based on what the animal meant to the person... i think many people love their pets like family, so imo, this should be punishable by death. but that is just my opinion.
Than your opinion is idiotic, it was a damn dog. No animal I don't care what kind is worth a human life. The guy might not be right in the head, but you don?t kill a person for killing an animal. If you would kill a person for killing a dog you?re crazier than the dog killer.

I didnt realize we put all assholes in jail, just for being assholes. I agree that this guy is an evil, sick, twisted fsck, but we dont put all of those in jail either.
i agree. this guy deserves to either get life or death penalty not because he killed an animal, but because he killed an animal for no good reason, out of anger, and a desire to create pain. such a person should not be in our society.

My god. This is the first time I am seriously shocked by what I read on ATOT. Never thought I'd see the day. People here actually believe that a pets life is just as valuable/more valuable than a human. Unbelievable. Gosh, you people are slave owners. You BOUGHT a dog! Do you buy people too?! Myabe the poor dog wants to run free instead of being on a leash or living in your apartment. I weep for the state of humanity. We've sunk to the level of dogs. :disgust:

your logic is flawed, according to you, dogs are lower than humans because humans "enslave" them?
btw, when you can tell me why my dogs' lives should be more valuable than some scumbag that expresses his emotions through violence, i'll start listening.

Would you get mad if I destroyed something that was yours, for example, your computer or your car or even your house? Same pricinple. Those things belong to you just like your children belong to you. You form an emotional bond with it, even if it is inanimate, so when someone comes along and thoughtlessly takes it away from you, you would feel pretty pissed off too.

Sure, I'd feel pissed. He destroyed my property. I dont have an emotional bond with my computer. Jeeez. I can understand someone having an emotional bond with a pet, but not to be on the same level as human being. I cant believe I even have to argue this.

So to be human is to throw animals off the 23rd floor right?

Not at all. Most humans have never done that. Like I said countless times, this guy is a sick twisted fsck, but he's still a human being. If you want to put yourself on the same level as dogs, go ahead, but dont drag me down there with ya.

Not at all what I meant to say. I was saying, according to those people who believe that they are on the same level of dogs, how can they go and buy one? Would they go buy a human?
the reason people buy dogs is because we are capable of controlling them. you would have a much harder time buying a human, because the human would probably not want to just stay with you, and plot to escape, etc etc. plus, we have laws against buying humans, since it is in our mutual interest to outlaw the practice, lest ourselves get bought one day.

i know he's a human being, i never doubted that. you still have to explain why that means his life is unconditionally more valuable than an innocent creature.
