A 14-year-old boy was arrested for allegedly swinging and kicking a baby alligator at the Stetson Aquatic Center in Florida on April 3. He was booked into the Volusia Sheriff’s Office Juvenile Resource Center and faces a felony charge for harming wildlife.

    But you aren’t allowed to kill animals however you like, there are a lot of laws that regulate how you’re allowed to kill them. (Though, enforcement is often lacking.)

      Exactly

      Because nobody really cares, and animals dont have souls, they were created to reproduce and be consumed by humans

      Its inhumane to abuse animals, but I dont think it should be punishable by law, and especially not on paper like a record

      And maybe, just maybe it was him releasing steam which is better on an animal than human

        and animals dont have souls,

        Well, neither do humans, but we care about those for the most part. Also many people care quite a lot about their pets.

        I dont think it should be punishable by law, and especially not on paper like a record

        Well, I very much think it should be. Guess we just disagree on that point. Though I do agree there should be a mechanism to clear juvenile records of people are rehabilitated/don’t re-offend.

        And maybe, just maybe it was him releasing steam which is better on an animal than human

        Well, maybe next time he should try a tree or something.

          I guess we dont wanna live the same, and why should we? :)

          I am religious and for me only humans have souls.
