between killing and torturing.
Having grown up on a farm(not in the UK), I have ended the lives of many animals, but I would like to believe that there has been no deliberate torture involved.
I do think a bit different to some, as I cannot understand why it is acceptable to terminate the life of a fish,crustacean, mouse/rat,or a fly for that matter, but as soon as someone thinks that an animal is cute and cuddly, it's no longer OK.
I think it is a dreadful double standard, that some psycho old bat will spend her time and money "saving" feral/stray cats, and ignore the plight of other animals.
I recently read of a case where a Magistrate fined and berated someone for killing a stray kitten ( they stomped on it's head, a quick death),because of public outcry, yet I imagine these same people will think nothing of reaching for the flyspray and watch them die slowly....fucking hypocrites.

OK, maybe my post was worded badly.
there is a difference between someone who enjoys killing - as some of the previous posts clearly indicated - and someone who kills an animal for food.
there are some butchers who would fall into the 'sadistic torturer mould', and some who are simply practising a trade.
same with hunters...........some do it to put meat on the table, some do it simply because they like the thrill of putting a bullet into an animal.
when a poster writes that they deliberately drive over gophers because gophers are stupid, I tend to think that person is probably just a few short steps away from carving up prostitutes

You sound like a Nazi justifying the part he played In genocide. You disgust me.
