Well... most subjects are taken for Disturbing Discussion aren't they? So I'm gonna start one of my own, something I feel strongly against. Animal Cruelty. Seems like fun for most people, doesn't it? Yes, only a little fun, shooting birds... going fox hunting... wearing harp seals fur just to look pretty... in the cost of living creatures LIVES.So what do you think about animal cruelty then? I think it is nasty, careless and snide. Oh and the thing that gets to me most is the harp seal issue. www.wtv-zone.com/cal555/bb/hrpp.jpg Here's an innocent harp seal. Y'see, because they are so weak, people get clubs, bash them on their heads and they're dead, and their fur goes for sale. But they are so helpless... all they do is squeal when they get killed. And soz I couldn't find a pic of them being killed, but I found one of an actual harp seal ^^^^

I, too, hate hearing about the fur trade. Fortunately, harp-seal hunting has probably declined since people started caring about endangered species. Are those seals endangered? And I definitely think it's wrong to shoot birds just for plumage or trophies. Hunting birds for food is okay, if you can't get meat any other way.

Yeah... ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/253263/images/aKebVqvfXozMvrLoISGi.gif) ... thanks for your agreement, you two, it really helped... but animals are just like us aren't they? So why should it be bad to harm us when it doesn't matter when we harm them ![:-[](//storage.proboards.com/253263/images/MMskVCJfvkIZiIRNuMud.gif)

For food it's ok, because that's just the nature cycle, but for fun, it's tight

I hate animal cruelty. It is just horrible. Animals should be just like us and be considered equal. And I hate wearing animal furs. Just makes me sick.

Its so unfair! What did they ever do to us? Think of all of those poor animals dieing just so some rich snob can have a fur coat or something.
Oh, and that picture was really cute!

and what did animals ever do to us? my catechism teacher said once that animals can't sin. and now that i think about it, she's right. everything that animals do is out of instinct...so a person can't blame a dog if it bites them, it probably did it for defense. that person must've made the dog uncomfortable.

Poor things. I'm a half vegitarian (planning on cutting out chicken soon)I despise people who sell or own fur. If a store owns something with fur on it, I will NEVER go there again. I boycott it compleatly. I love animals so much. Why on earth would someone want to wear an animal. It's much more attractive to have something alive then dead.
