TJ, it is sensible to punish people who are deliberately cruel to animals. Or better, educate them about a nice way to live. Children who are cruel to animals are those who go on to be cruel to people. It's the pain and suffering they enjoy seeing. Sadism needs to be nipped in the bud. Saddam was finally nipped, if not in the bud. I dare say Saddam was named after Sadism.

I doubt that goose and duck farmers get a kick out of force-feeding geese for the suffering. More likely they like eating duck liver made into foie gras and make a business out of it. I doubt that diners are thinking of their victims as they enjoy eating the meal.

Sadism is only when the pain is deliberate and wanton. I've had doctors inflict pain on me, but it wasn't deliberate with the intention of causing pain. The pain was collateral damage.

I'm not an animalphile yet to the extent that I consider killing animals for food to be wrong. But I do consider any unnecessary suffering in the process to be wrong.
