Did you bother to read what I said and understand it in context. Let me answer that for you....
NO
We do much worse to many more animals in the name of fashion, science etc. And that is not abuse. Why would this be????
I don't see any of the fashion company's who test on animals going to jail? Oh I guess lip gloss is a valuable service to humanity?
Get a grip. They are animals, and that is that. They are not human and have not rights.
And dogs eat cat ****, and my Parrot craps on anything and everything, they are animals. No matter how much we love and care for them they are NOT humans and are not afforded any rights.
What happens when a dog bites someone? No trial, no excuse, they are put down, period. When a racing dog can't be adopted, they are put down. If an animal is at most shelters to long, they are put down.
No judge, jury or trial. They have no natural rights other than the ones we as the masters give them.
They were her property and being charged with animal cruelty for piercing considering the rest that goes on, is just stupid.
Take it to a vet.
Wow that was hard. :roll:
PS If my parrot (whom I love dearly) messed up and I decided I did not want it any more, I could just kill it, period. No cruelty charges, no police. Just a dead animal to bury. It is an animal.
