Another killing-animals/morality thread

Hermlord · #1 05-21-2005, 05:19 AM

I love my cat. She is not my property, she is my friend. If someone were to kill my cat, intentionally, I would hunt them down. Then, not only would I kill them, I would inflict as much pain as I could in the process. Let me reiterate: I would go beyond "eye for an eye" and inflict a punishment beyond the crime itself. Why? Because I feel the intentionality of desiring to kill my cat counts as much as or more then the actual act; however this is conditional on actually committing the act.

Discuss.

I highly doubt you would do any of those things, but I believe you think you would.

No, you sure wouldn't. Because then you would be convicted of murder and spend ~10 years an jail, which would make you an idiot.

Your post is redundant.

I'm going to sleep soon, we can do this until then if you want.

Here comes the question that makes me look like a jerk.

How old are you?

So 10 years of hiding in the laundry room at night, to avoid gay sex, for your cat? Hmmmmm.

Your question has nothing to do with animals outside of the weirdness of your cat-affection. Your point is that you feel intention to kill is as important as the act of killing. You could replace "cat" with "sister" and still ask the same question.
