This was a line in a book I just read. Fiction, crime-drama, about a psycho serial killer who not only rapes women but murders them slowly after torturing them. You know, light beach reading. But I’m sorry – what animal isn’t better than that? The cockroach in the storm drain is better than that.
Frankly, that is an insult to animals. Animals don’t rape, torture and murder just for sport. For the sheer psycho pleasure in it. After yesterday and today’s stuff on the internet about the girl who threw the puppy in the river for fun – is there really any question? And I’m sure she is not the only one guilty of horrific acts – just the one with a friend so stupid that she/he videoed it and put it on the internet. I can only hope she is tracked down and shot between the eyes by a crazed PETA fanatic. No, I’m not kidding. And no, I don’t think that’s harsh. People like that don’t deserve to breathe air.
I wish I could unread and unknow about this. I decided a couple weeks back not to read any more news where the headlines are obviously upsetting. I already know there is a lot of evil and shit in this world. A lot of pure, evil scumbags. I don’t need to be reminded of it. It replays in my head over and over. I needed a 3 hour hike today to try and get it out of my head and re-see nature and beauty. It worked. For those 3 hours.
Rapists, pedophiles, murderers – anyone who garners pleasure from harming another deserves to just be killed. And no, not just to humans. Statistically proven that many a child abuser, wife abuser, serial killer has started by harming animals. And guess what – they can’t be fixed. They don’t actually change inside. Period. F them. They don’t deserve any help. Or sympathy. Or even oxygen.
My dogs would stand up and fight to the death to protect me. And they love me wholeheartedly no matter what. I pity the person than ever tried to hurt them. Momma bear don’t play.
People can disagree about animals being “family members”. Animals not being as important as people in this world. That’s up to you. But to get pleasure of any kind from deliberately harming animals (yes, including sport hunters and fishermen here) – you have a screw loose. It’s just a matter of how many. I could go on and rant forever about this but I won’t. I could start on about vigilante justice, but I won’t (here and now anyway.)
Maybe the best super power would be to be a Batman-type. But for animals. And even more hardcore than the grumpiest version of him. He kills bad guys. He knows that sometimes you have to. Start with poachers, abusers, the little blonde bitch in the video. How could the world NOT be a better place without this kind of scum in it? Riddle me that Batman.
But animals definitely do have a flaw, their true flaw is that they sometimes trust humans unconditionally. Huge mistake.

Quite an interesting take and perspective – I believe that humans are inherently evil and only through generations of conditioning are most of us able to suppress that urge.
I totally agree with the idea of eliminating the scum as you eloquently put it – but the greater question is where to decide to end it? That is a philosophical debate that will go on for a very, very long time.

Heh…so now you think I’m a kook! I am quite the cold bitch when it comes to my dislike of low-life humans. Love animals. Believe kids need to be protected and raised correctly and with love. But after that – you are on your own to make the right decisions. And if you don’t, don’t look for sympathy here.
I believe that some people are good and some are bad. But definitely not of the belief that “all men are basically good” – that’s for damn sure.
I believe I would know exactly when to stop it so I’m sure there are others with the same “common sense”. But then all maniacal Sith Lords probably believe that :)

kook? I would never think that about you! Only a Sith Lord deals in absolutes. :)
