Girl throw puppies in a river and film herself

How could you even do that? I really hope this is fake.

Don't get your hopes up. Killing/torturing animals is a common activity for kids around the world.

Do you care? Stop going to McDonalds. That goes to all hypocrites in this thread.
What?

I understand your reasoning, but I don't agree with it. I mean, killing animals for no reason at all is one thing, but killing then eating them is another. If you kill an animal, then eat them or something! Eating is something people have to do, so I guess I could understand that, but it would be a bit gross and sad... for some animals at least.
 
19 pages of people debating this. I realize that the posts aren't praising her on the video but honestly everytime I see this in the new updated threads on homepage it makes me sick. I'd much prefer if this could be closed, not to mention it's not like the posts are of any sort of good information, they are pointless half-thought remarks.
 
In other news, people die everyday.

Yes, people die. Your point? Are you saying because people die every day, it's morally permissible to kill people? Not trying to set up a straw man- I just don't know what you're trying to say.

I agree. +1.
This stuff happens. Not much we can do about it.
There's another sad and gross thing, about some people eating dogs and stuff.
There is no moral difference between eating a cow and eating a dog.
There is also no moral difference eating a potato. You killed something that once lived. Plain and simple.

So then, you would have to either say that eating a potato is morally impermissible, or that murder is morally permissible.

Which is it?
 
Certain animals are killed in mass numbers for human consumption all the time. We aren't the ones doing the killing, watching the killing happen, or thinking of the killing when we go in a restaurant to get something to eat.

Well, whenever you consume a product, you are supporting it's production and you choose what you consume and you know that chicken breast doesn't fall from the sky. You order that animals get killed and you support the way it is done and the whole system.


This however, is animal abuse with what seems to be no real purpose, and they (lady with the cat and the girl throwing the puppies) seem to like doing so or find it funny...

You are eating other animals simply because you like the taste of it, not because you need to do it. That's about the same "real purpose" as someone watching snuff movies...entertainment.

And for the victim it doesn't really matter for what reason it was killed/tortured/exploited anyway.

No.
Yes, but no.

Not a good week for animals really.

* 45,895,000,000 (45.9 billion) chickens
* 2,262,000,000 (2.3 billion) ducks
* 1,244,000,000 (1.2 billion) pigs
[... BLAH BLAH ...]
+1 cat and 5 puppies.

Excuse me, can you please divide by 52 for me? We're talking about a WEEK here. Unless you believe that meat/egg production has been scaled up about 52 times since 2007 (the year your data is from anyway).

Anyway, the cat was fine :p

Obviously I wasn't trying to suggest that this is the amount of killings during one week. And of course I don't have the statistics for 2010 yet. :)

Even if there was a girl throwing 5 puppies into a river every week for a whole year, then the number would still look pretty ridiculous next to the others.



@Dene: That's ok...good luck with your hangover (I guess). ;)

Right, the comparison is still a huge factor, but it's an issue of numeracy. For some people 1 billion and 50 billion are both almost meaninglessly gigantic numbers, especially when compared to five, but for me one is still 50 times the other and that does matter.
