That's irrelevant, though. Being smart enough to actually make such tools to equal the playing field is what makes us superior. Obviously, if it was only decided by strength or speed then Lions, or Gorrilas or whatever would rule the world.But alas they don't.
But you said you could "break" his "ass" meaning you would load his donkey up with some much stuff, that his donkey would collapse and you would have to punch the donkey. tee hee.

Better with mustard and ketchup!

It wouldn't be called defence of others an animal is not a human. He "might" be found guilty on animal cruelty charges, you certainly would be found guilty of assault. Tell me more about your online fight record Mr. Liddell.
Tasty....... Chicken.

These studies are not only about serial killers but also murders and other violent crimes.

No dude...He's right...There is a strong psychological link between torture of animals and an escalation to violent crimes committed against humans. In fact, it is almost common knowledge. Just about everyone I know, knows that children who torture animals could one day become murderers or commit other violent crimes against other humans. I don't feel like looking one up. You guys can do that...and when you find one...you will need to admit you are wrong...something I highly doubt any of you will do.
"strong psychological link between torture of animals and an escalation to violent crimes committed against humans" does not equal "Most people that would torture and animal will do the same to humans down the road." no matter how bad you'd like it to.

What the hell? My point is not up for debate."strong psychological link between torture of animals and an escalation to violent crimes committed against humans" does not equal "Most people that would torture and animal will do the same to humans down the road." no matter how bad you'd like it to.

Yes...that is exactly what I meant and that is exactly what it is supposed to mean. Are you a criminologist? Are you a psychologist? Of course not...and neither are we...look up that "shit" online and when you find out you are wrong..."How about a nice warm cup of shut the hell up?"

Reiteration: Why are animals regarded more highly in some respects than humans?
(Clarification: The abuse of animals by humans provokes more outrage than the abuse of humans by humans and thus seems that people hold the animals in higher regard than humans.)
I think it's partially religious and partially philosophical. If someone is religious, maybe pagan, they may see animals as some sort of spiritual order, placing them on the same level as humans, and at times, having greater spiritual value, (cats come to mind in the sense of have some sort of spiritual value to people who are into Egyptian occult or derivates of that spiritual order). The philosophical aspect would have to do with what I've heard about animals having the inability to reason, and so, b/c they are disadvantaged, they need extra protection from evil humans who will use that disability to their amusement.

I know a lady who adores her cat like her cat is a little infant, but she is totally untrustworthy and has said she doesn't even like people at all, she honors and worships cats.

I feel the same response given to abuse against animals is the same as abuse against babies or children. It's the fact that it's a semi-sentient creature being tortured or harmed and is unable to defend itself.
Don't know because they are animals?I would be mad if a human was abuse more then an animal.I hate animal abuse but a human to me is more imporant.
And some of the laws are annoying.jm 🙂

To start off with, we ARE animals; I'm not sure if you figured that out, but, most people seem to think we are not. But we are. Being cruel to an animal is as bad as being cruel to a human, in my view, since we are all animals.
