I should of been more specific.. But there are many examples out there, a turtle is cold blooded, as a cat/dog are warm-blooded..
In the video; the turtle wasn't on fire for very long; from what I had seen.
I'm not saying what the kids did was so wrong, but why make a big deal about it. Here's an ex: What about people who fish and use frogs as bait. Frogs are cold-blooded like turtles.. Imagine a frog having a hook in its body for long moments on end... Some people even fish for turtles, to use their meat and shell.. People don't hunt for dogs/cats.. Now days anyways..

I see what your saying, but thats on the other end of the spectrum. Torture is unacceptable.

Thats like saying im going to come to your house and set your dog on fire. I would prolly get like 5x the punishment this kid got for setting the turtle on fire.

Laws are written for the reason. What the fuck is the reason for them if lawyers are going to fight and win in order to reduce penalties and such. A law is a law. If you fail to abide by it, you deserve punishment to the fullest extent.

Please move.. The US needs to get rid of people like you anyways. Why don't you go over to Afganastan. :icon_thumleft:

Please move to Canada... if you honestly even think it should be an eye for an eye in this situation, we dont want you living here. Turtle Pain= to human in jail for five days, community service, and a fine.

EDIT: Our legal system is the most advanced in the world. If you do not know anything about the country that you live in, please do not comment.

Cuz guess what, that cow that was slaughtered just so you could eat a tasty burger had a brain, organs, etc etc. Guess what, so did the chickens and turkeys and pigs that you eat nice little slices of each day on your sandwiches. Some of you need to pull your head out of your ass. Yeah, they f'ed up and shouldn't have done what they did, even if the turtle survived. But for christ's sake, give it up.

Genetically, turtles are made up of DNA, as are we. Turtles have brains, as do we. Turtles have limbs, as do we. Turtles have internal organs, as do we.

I could go on. Turtles are not any different than your typically house dog or cat or even a human for that matter.

Punish the bitch and let him learn.

I was simply stating that there should be no difference between a domesticated animal and a wild animal, much like there is difference between killing a bum or a lawyer....should be the same penalty either way.
