Puppy Left Traumatised After Scissors Attack

[Gawdzilla Sama]

And from what I gather, Clinton, young people who start down this track of animal torture are indeed very likely to commit later crimes against people...

Aye, that's how Jeffrey Dahmer put in his apprenticeship.

The lack of empathy for the suffering of others is a hallmark of serial killers. Living things are just objects to them. :pissed:

[lordpasternack]

I could just vomit at the thought of what that poor little animal went through. Gratuitous sadism on a little defenseless animal... Vile. Revolting. There are no words.

I can't fathom why any human being could bring themselves to do this - but there are still some doctors who ignore the squeals of non-anaesthetised or poorly anaesthetised human infants as they lay into their genitals with a scalpel...

There are some sick fucks in this world.

It's amazing what you can find on chans.

Spoilered by 'Zilla - Not for the squeamish (image depicts animal torture).

Trigger Warning!!!1! :

What some people do for lulz, huh?

[lordpasternack]

That is simply fucking sick. There are no fucking words. I only very seldom feel the desire to inflict suffering on those who inflict suffering - but this would most certainly be one of those times. I would feel very little resistence in smashing the face in of any bastard who tortures another sentient creature like that.

Oh - and I fucking love cats...

There was no reason for posting that image. It did not contribute to the debate and could have no purpose other than to shock. It has been removed.

And that's different philosophically from dead baby jokes how? And other than it being in picture form. Dead baby cat pics Vs. dead baby human jokes. Seeing as we value human life a little more, then aren't the two phenomena about equivalent?

1. It wasn't a joke.
2. It was a picture that you could have easily spoilered. I learned my lesson about such.

An arrest has been made. The guy has been put in for psych assessment...

Let me know if you find out where they're keeping him. (I'll buy you a G&T if you hide me until the manhunt is over.)

Well it did inasmuch as it brought up another case of horrid animal cruelty - in this case that the perpetrator had enough sick pride about to film and post to the internet. Yes it did shock, even more so than the image of the puppy above - and rightfully so. I agree that MoNF should have spoilered it - but I don't see why it should be removed outright.

Not that I really care, though.

Why thank you. So where do you stand on the whole dead baby thing? I would think that you are somewhat maternal, having mentioned that you'd like to be knocked up by Dawkins.

[lordpasternack]

I'm very maternal - but I also come from the east end of Glasgow, where some very sick jokes have done the rounds since I was a little thing. I can stomach the jokes, even if I find some of them really distasteful. What I simply can't stomach is the real article: real cruelty to real sentient beings.

[Transgirlofnofaith]

Cats aren't sentient, but I'd still like to light the fucker that filmed that on fire. Because it's needlessly cruel, and there's no need for it.

Actually, they are. The dictionary definition of "sentient" is:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sentient

sen⋅tient

–adjective

1. having the power of perception by the senses; conscious.
2. characterized by sensation and consciousness.

[...]

sen·tient
adj.

Having sense perception; conscious: "The living knew themselves just sentient puppets on God's stage" (T.E. Lawrence).
Experiencing sensation or feeling.

It essentially means conscious and capable of feeling and experiencing subjective sensations. It doesn't imply the possession of anything more sophisticated than that.

While on that note, though, and to mix it in with the "dead baby" tangent - you might be interested in seeing this piece from a moral philosopher:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Sing ... nfanticide

Similar to his argument for abortion, Singer argues that newborns similarly lack the essential characteristics of personhood — "rationality, autonomy, and self-consciousness" — and therefore "killing a newborn baby is never equivalent to killing a person, that is, a being who wants to go on living."

You strap him to a table, put a glass partition over his stomach so he can see you light his balls on fire, but can't reach the flames.
