People have lost their damn minds

If its Kicky's Kittie and had proper tag, you'd be stealing his property and be committing a theft or destruction of property or whatever. So you can get time for that. Then, Kicky can sue you big time in a civil court for emotional distress and related damages and you'd be broke. Thats not enough for you?

Yeah, I thought about getting every detail square. So let me revise. Kicky's kitty escapes and some little kid takes the tag off it without thinking. The kitty is not microchipped. So when I find it, it's just a lost kitty. Yeah, I could surmise it's not a wild cat--well groomed, not afraid of me, clearly domesticated--but by the letter of the law it's a cat without tags that as far as I know was not someone's property. And just to finish the story right, I coincidentally was torturing it in the alley behind his house that I walked to from the dirty 7/11 where I found it. He saw me cackling in its death throes. I shrugged I didn't know it was his, there were no tags or microchip, it didn't occur on his property, and I was just disobeying a law that costs 1,000 to make right.
 
Kicky, let me see if I'm following your logic. Lets say your cat escapes. I see it on the street. I say, "Here Kitty Kitty." And it comes running up into my arms, all scared and everything because its lost, hungry, and just wants to get home to you. I say, "Don't worry, Kicky's kitty, I'm going to take you straight home."

Then I take it behind the back of a dirty 7/11 and gouge out its eyes. You know, just to get a few laughs watching it try to run away without eyes. Then I dunk it in a drum of moldy rainwater a few times till it almost drowns because that cracks me up. Finally I douse it in gasoline and set fire to it. I positively love watching your cat suffer, and I'm sorry when it ends.

So when I voluntarily confess and write my 1,000 dollar check out to the State of California, you and me are square, right? I'm not saying we'll go bowling, but as far as you're concerned I broke the law, paid my dues, and life goes on.

+ a lot
 
Which is ludicrous. There should be no prison time for doing any of this to a damn dog.

Seriously, how is torturing a dog any different than raising a calf for veal? How is shooting a dog any different than clubbing a lamb in the head for lamb chops?

Animal rights people are whack and very selective about what constitutes animal cruelty.

"It's just a damn dog" is a completely ridiculous argument to make. I'd say a good portion of the population don't fine canines to be "damn dogs."

So we're going with "majority rules" now? I guess this means you support prop 8 because the majority voted for it?
 
And I'm sure your argument there is, "They're just damn gays," right?

Poor attempt at deflection and misdirection... I'll ask again, does the majority rule or not? That's your argument. Animal cruelty is a federal offense because a majority of people say it is. If that's the case, gay marriage is illegal because a majority of people say it is. You can't pick and choose.
 
That's pretty much how laws work. As a society we decide what is or isn't OK. Most people think you shouldn't kill someone, so we make it illegal.

Great... so gay marriage is illegal, correct?

I'm going to bed. Ya'll have painted yourself into a corner. Have a nice night.

Where is it written that you can't pick and choose? Equating the blatant torture of an animal to gay marriage is false analogy at its finest. Obviously common sense needs to be applied.
