@jleahj86 I don't know what a profile of an animal abuser looks like. I think it spans all races. And I support animal abuse being a felony. People who abuse animals don't have respect for living things. To me, this behavior is a clear warning that something is off.

 

[brandon_d]

@imagebeastmarkbeast It is. Especially if the person also likes to set things on fire.

@jleahj86 A thread about animal abuse turns into a diatribe about racial tensions. Nice.

 

[heartcall]

@woodlandsro Unfortunately douche bags always douche.

@jleahj86 I would caution folks against getting too excited about this going anywhere. Despite the bipartisan support it’s pretty tricky to get things done right now federally, so I’d not expect too much.

@jleahj86 “The torture of innocent animals is abhorrent”

Sadly, they don’t mean all animals. Farm animals are tortured in the billions and nobody thinks twice about it.

@newhopeinhim They were cracking down BIG TIME on the dairy farms in Florida last year. Going undercover, shooting videos etc. It was a big scandal. The expose made me switch to purchasing (more expensive) cruelty free milk. It was a real eye opener.

@logann

cruelty free milk

No such thing.

 

[hatbuddy]

@newhopeinhim Well, actually many states are passing laws that totally bans those kinds of terrible places, and only allows free range farming and stuff like that, soon I hope, every state will have these laws and we’ll see an end to this kind of stuff in America

@hatbuddy Factory farms are very very veryyyyy rarely punished for breaking the law

 

[hatbuddy]

@marymj Really? Damn. Although I think they’re just straight up being banned in some places

 

[marymj]

@hatbuddy Yepp i wrote a paper on it a couple years ago, banning them outright would probably work tho

 

[newhopeinhim]

@hatbuddy We would have to significantly lower the demand for animal products. With the current demand it’s not possible without factory farming.

 

[hatbuddy]

@newhopeinhim In some cases yes, although factory farms are on the decline, let’s just hope McDonald’s is getting their chicken from reliable farms....If it even is chicken and not some, glop

 

[byastian]

@jleahj86 So...poultry farms? And other meat producing farms? And dairy farms?

Or is this a bill specifically for dogs?

 

[ngillfil]

@jleahj86 does this include the meat industry? or are those not animals cause they are not cute and furry

 

[christiancentipede]

@ngillfil Doubtful. Unfortunately.

 

[daughteroftheking1029]

@jleahj86 Congress does something right for once?
