Animal cruelty

[n423]

It's an animal but it has feeling and also it's a living thing. I love my dog, I treat her like a family member. I cannot stand people who abuses and mistreat animals. They need to have some kind of a law with maximum penalty for mistreating animals.

This^^^^^^^^^. That's why I can't watch animal cruelty-type shows. I love my pets. I cannot stand animal abuse and feel like there is a special place in h3ll for them.

More to the point, that is about the most horrible way for an animal to die.

Yes, I've witnessed it and can't imagine anything more awful. It should not be legal, even for mice.

I took the comment as tongue in cheek more than intent. I don't condone the poisining of animals (gophers the ecxeption) nor do I put up with someone allowing their dog to crap in my yard.

Yes it is, I can't think of a way that takes longer and inflicts more pain and suffering, to willingly do this to another living being, would in my personal opinion make someone not worthy of consuming oxygen.

Gophers moles mice and rats have the exception to poison. Now if they just made spider and snake poison the world would be a better place.

Why take it out on the dog? its not the dogs fault that his owner is an idiot. Confront the owner. His dog's shyt will hit the fan and end up right back in his yard and doorstep. lol.... simple as that

It depends upon the poison, but I generally agree. Rat/mouse poison is a slow, lingering death, to the point that I insist on breakback traps instead. I don't know about current formulations, but I'm told at least some older ones were warfarin or similar, causing the animal to bleed internally until he died.

Gas poison (damn gophers!) is much quicker. I'd prefer the Rodenator (the shockwave kills instantly), but the critters have tunneled under my house and I'm afraid of cracking the foundation.

I like the rodenator as well but in a neighborhood it just won't do. So, I chose this. I don't care how it kills them, I just want them dead. I don't want to chase them to my neighbors yard I want them gone. My patience has come to an end. I asked them politely to leave but they wouldn't listen. ( for you sensitive folks)

I don't like rat or mouse poison but it has nothing to do with whether it is humane or not. They run off and die then stink to high heavens and you can't find them.

That's disturbing to even think to poison an animal and let them go through that pain and agony. I suggest poisoning their master before the poor animal.
