There's a pretty good chance that if this person or persons are never caught, they will do the same to humans. One of the traits of a serial killer is this kind of animal torture.
Unfortunately, even if this person or persons are caught, animal abuse has no real consequences in our legal system.
That's what I came here to say. Those are typical signs of a psychopatic killer.
I wish I had never read that
I hope they catch this guy fast, that is fucked up behaviour, and this psycho had better get caught before they move on to people.
I wish I had never read that
Then you should never watch Dominion because it will show you the truth about the consequences of your choices. But if you cannot even stand to look at it, how can you stand to do it. When Dominion came out, I knew I could not watch it, and on that day I stopped abusing animals. Several years later I did watch it as an act of "witnessing" and I will never get it out of my head.
I'm not against reforming our agriculture practices, we should ensure they're as humans as possible (I'm sure you find that a pure contradiction though), but this is fundamentally different.
Our indifference to animal welfare is far from an active maliciousness.
most people don't want to watch an appendectomy or live childbirth either. that doesn't make them immoral or unnecessary. it sounds like you understand that your YouTube video is traumatizing, and spreading it to others is irresponsible.
You do this every day. It is just kept out of sight. There are 80 billion land animals currently suffering ast livestock. They will each experience atrocity on par with these kittens. The humans you pay to kill animals suffer inestimable psychological trauma, just because you like the taste of bacon and you are willing to exploit a human's poverty to get it. Act with integrity and care about cows, pigs and chickens the same way you care about kittens and puppies. The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children and are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection. The experiences of animals are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own. It harms us when we take pleasure in cruelty and violence.

these statements don't smack of scientific rigor.
also you:
almost no one pays anyone to kill animals, except pests I think
oh, do you have some evidence to the contrary
Guy. You're being obtuse. But okay, I'll play along.
When you buy bacon, is it alive? No. How did it get dead? Someone killed it. Did that person do it for free? No, of course not, it's an incredibly traumatizing job that people hate to do and they only do it because they are poor and can be exploited. Some of the money that you paid for that bacon necessarily goes to killing a pig. How the fuck can you even pretend you don't see that.
this isn't evidence. it's storytelling. and it's not even an accurate storytelling. The people who do the killing are paid by somebody who isn't me and they are paid long before I decide whether to buy my food.
The humans you pay to kill animals
