ill admit, i laughed when i first started to read the article. im not going to lie. my mood obviously changed as i read the article. ive never killed anything unless it was posing a threat to me (i.e. ants biting me, flys in my house puking on everything, etc.) i could never bring myself to hunt (but hold absolutely nothing against those who do), its just the kind of person i am. do these people deserve harsh punishment? my thoughts would be no. ill agree with a hefty fine but nothing dealing imprisonment and the like. i think a better alternative would be something along the lines of having to go to an animal cruelty class, or writing a letter, something that would educate the person who commited the act. why? i hold human life much higher than animal life. killing a gerbil just because is stupid, but some humans are stupid most of the time. i guess ill care about a gerbil getting killed just because when people stop killing people just because. there seems to be A LOT more of that going on anyway.
