Uhhh.. makes sense to me. Its a 100% light friendly jab that intends no offense... never mind. Our wavelengths are crossed unwelly.

I never understood the reasoning behind animal cruelty charges. Its basically reserved for cats, dogs, and some horses. Nobody ever gets charged for laying out a mouse trap that snaps the neck of a mouse.

Neck breakers aren't cruel. They're quick if they work properly.

I refuse to use those sticky-pads that the mouse gets to struggle on until it dies.
 
I am not advocating for the animals, I'm advocating getting rid of animal cruelty laws. I mean, it sucks how some animals are treated, and I sometimes want to jump through a screen and beatdown some people, but the application of animal cruelty laws only seem to extend to a priviliged few animals.

I used to question this myself, then I came to China. In Asia in general there is no acknowledgement that animals are living, feeling creatures. Some of the small animal markets here are the most horrid places I have ever set eyes on. You walk in, and cats are heaped into small cages, some of them with their insides hanging out (for who knows what reason) as they are panting and slowly dying. People leave their dogs outside in the street in the winter... you can see them shivering as they have nowhere to go. Having no cruelty laws at all is no way to go.

In the West even our animals are divided into classes. Our pets that we become emotionally attached to and see as other individuals in our homes and families get more rights than animals reserved for labour, or food. The fact that animal cruelty laws exist would seem to suggest that we have a moral attachment to the ones we call our pets and want their status elevated. I agree that there is somewhat of a hypocrisy in the mix, but because I have had pets in my home all throughout my life, I tend to see them as more than simply objects at our disposal. Humans and animals have lived alongside each other for ages, so naturally we have come to a special understanding of them and their personalities.

Then again... many believe it's okay to bomb another nation and torture its enemy combattants, or ignore homeless people on the street... so it is hard to convince people to care for animals when they don't even care about fellow human beings.

A few of you are trying to be cute. You've already gotten PM warnings. I would make sure you abide by them. If not, I see significant consequences in your future.
 
I think the fact remains some animals do like pot. We always have to keep an eye on ours, or one of our dogs will eat it up. She especially seems to like the stems so it kinda works out in the end. One time we had a mouse loose in the house after it escaped from the snake cage, and lo and behold it got into the drawers and ate a small bag up. It then started coming back for more, so it was easy to catch him after that.

I think it is sad that people would look at this thread, look at the box this cat was shoved into, then pontificate on how animals like pot. No offense.


Tell me how did this guy get caught again?

According to one news source here, the cops got called in for a disturbance and found the guy smoking out of his bong. They confiscated it and it started to move, so they found the cat.

Don't get me wrong now, I think this case is terrible and should be considered animal abuse. The cat had no say in this and was put in against his will. But you do have to admit, that if an animal is around pot smoke and then chooses to be around it more, it's the animals choice.

Most likley the cat screaming. These people are scum.

Can the animals read the health warnings and the watch the commercials? :mrgreen:

I've seen this sentiment expressed by a number of members. And I have to ask... have you ever really pondered the question? Because the difference between domesticated pets such as dogs and cats, or work animals, such as horses, compared to, say, a wild mouse, or rat, or snake is so immense that it's almost unfathomable that anyone who takes even the briefest moment to think about the difference would immediately understand the difference.

If he did not light the cat on fire I dont care.
 
:lol: No, but cute typically tastes good. When I was a kid, I was in Ireland visiting my grandparents farm, and I noticed that the cutest lambs tasted the best.

The muscle of youths is so tender and succulent.

Especially when they keep them in a small container that only allows them two steps and never see the light of day.
