It's inhumane. Actually, the definition of humane is stupid because it implies that humans often act accordingly. But child abuse it still worse.

I really don't understand the big deal on animal abuse. So some dogs get hurt each day, well guess what? The same thing is probably happening to a child right now.
The people at PETA REALLY piss me off most of the time. I understand that they want to get a point across, but they come at it in all the wrong ways. They compare human life to that of animals, stating that both are equal in value.
Animals can feel pain just like we do, why isn't it as important?
If that doesn't help, look at it this way.
People that hurt animals generally go on to become violent to humans, even killers.
That would be the best thing ever.Death penalties... *snaps fingers* AHA! I've got it! If you murder (or injure) any kind of animal with no good reason (a good reason would be poking a wild bear in the eye so it would stop attacking you) gets death (or injury) the same way! Stab a Bichon Frisé to death? You get death by stabbing! Break a guinea pig's leg? They break YOUR leg and throw you in jail for 3-10 years!
I won't post videos/pictures as there are young people on here (although they should learn about it at a young age) but there's been recently a Chinese man who has been torturing a cat and taking pictures.
I have noticed a great outbreak in people killing animals in the most cruel way lately. Recently a leopard was burned alive, a dog buried alive, and kittens suffocated in a hoover bag, and much more. I don't understand it.
My question to you is why do you think people act this way towards animals? Many people have poor backgrounds but still don't abuse animals in such a way. What's your opinion? Does it lead onto human abuse? Are the laws too soft on these people? Is it simply in their nature?
I have seen some pictures about how people would put kittens in glass bottles and raise them in the bottles and feed them through a straw. I cried when I seen this. It was a tradition in some Eastern country to do this, but it is just WRONG!
My brother has ADHD and is now 24 and for as long as I can remember, he never treated our animals right. He still doesn't to this day. He knows he is hurting them but he doesn't seem to think it is wrong or it just doesn't affect him. My mom and I yell at him all the time when he squeezes our cat too hard or bites her ears (yeah... it sounds like I am talking about a year old right? He is 24!) but he just doesn't care. It's sad how people can hurt animals and not have any feeling behind it...
Okay I'm just wondering, is there any point to this thread other than a bunch of people discussing how they would disproportionately punish people who do this?
