Trump signs bill into law making animal cruelty a federal felony

[Dontrike]

An animal does not should not have equal rights to that of a person as in even a scummy piece of shit still should be treated better then a random animal. This is fine legislation that is a given but i hate how people prop up a pet above a person which is why i hate the loons on that side of the argument.

Yeah, no. Anyone who thinks abusing a living thing is okay needs to have their house, basement, backyard, or other properties checked thoroughly by the authorities.

It's good to see he's getting things done. Animal cruelty is a problem these days.

You know he made exotic animal trophies easier to bring to the states, right? Trump cares about animals the same way he does about looking thin.

No one is saying that is okay? Not i nor anyone for that matter its just that a random person on the street has more value then an animal.

That is just your opinion.

Animals are sentient and innocent.

Humans on the other hand are intelligent enough to be evil.

I don't really care about the well being of bad people and I always care about innocence.

And abuse and cruelty to people is also a crime, so now they're both crimes. The fact you're complaining about that in any capacity is astounding.

Trump signs a positive bill (that he had nothing to do with and was brainstormed, written, and passed by a bipartisan effort in the legislature).

Trumpkins: "HAHA LOOK TRUMP DOES GOOD THINGS, TAKE THAT BRAINWASHED NPC LIBCUCKS!"

It'd be nice if people could stop jumping on Trump's dick every chance they got.

Is this limited to some animals? Then where will the people and companies test their product before making humans use it then?

[AeneasBK]

Animal cruelty is a symptom not a problem.

But sure; make it illegal to cough.

[ParanoiD84]

Hell yeah fuck them all.

[Howel]

I am frankly more surprised this wasn't already a thing.

It already is in most if not all states, it's just now a federal offense as well.

Ahhh, right. Forget that there is two systems working in tandem in that regard.

I recall there being a thread here years ago where someone fed a kitten to a snake to christmas music. It was super fucked up but people tried to argue "It's just nature" (it wasn't). I said "This is what a serial killer does!" and people tried to do the whole "Who cares about animals?" argument you're doing now.

That dude went on to film himself murdering a man with an ice pick before mailing the dismembered body parts across Canada.

Animal welfare =/= animal rights, people who abuse animals need attention.

I also recall a thread where posters here would rather have a baby killed over a dog because the baby could grow up to be a "bad human" so it is better to save a puppy that'll live 14 years.

People who abuse animals should be monitored for sure because of the tendencies for other crimes.

The crime against the animal though should not be taken as though it's a crime against a person.

Yeah, there's always going to be a few edgelord retards that pretend that they can't see any real difference between a cat and a snake. Thankfully, the people that are sincere are few and far between, but they do tend to have exactly the kind of mentality that leads to the kind of sadistic shit you're describing.

Falls right into the category of even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

[Dontrike]

His knife is clean the coward couldn't even be asked to mutilate his own animal he had somebody else do it it seems LOL

That's all the Trump's do, make someone else do it. If they actually worked for their money, or worked at all, they'd actually have a bit of character, but they're about as devoid of it as I am positivity.

I've never hurt an animal, and rescued a few of them. But I'm uncomfortable with the idea of making "animal cruelty" a FELONY.

So if you intentionally step on a fish, that's equal to murder and child abuse?

[Bakis]

Grats to joining the rest of the western world and Trump of all people, pretty amazing.
Did he get a boner from the pardoned White House turkey?

Funny enough in Ohio if you catch a certain fish you should kill it, it's incredibly invasive.

Robbery, theft and vandalism are also felonies.
