I do eat meat. I eat meat that is raised as meat and is humanely bred,
grown and killed. What I don't eat are wild animals or those that were
former pets, that through the choices of some asshole human, find
themselves fending for themselves. Animals that are dumped have to
revert to the wild status to survive which is an extremely difficult
and stressful process. Most succumb to predation or are killed in the
streets.

That's noting to be proud of and nothing to joke about. You're just
making yourself look more like an asshole.

Because God knows we don't exploit enough animals for food as it is...

Yes, there are assholes here too.

He wasn't just a "criminal" he was menatally ill. Your lack of
compassion is appalling.

That's even worse. Kill a beautiful wild animal merely for living in
its own habitat. It makes me ashamed to be in the same species with
humans who do so.

Sure they can. You protect the garden. Many people do it every year.

Therein lies your real problem. You're a real piece of work.

Karma's a bitch. It must suck to be you.
