He plays for my team and he makes me ill.

He never served time for abusing the animals , only for running an illegal operation.

He drowned and electrocuted dogs, he's never paid one penny to rehab any of the dogs taken off his property. He's disgusting

I am normally of the belief that if people serve their time, that they have paid for their crime. 

 

However I do have exceptions to this and while he has served his time and is free to do as he wishes, as a human being I find him repulsive. My exceptions are for people who hurt others that can't defend themselves. Children, seniors, disabled and animals are on that list. 

 

This is a man who grabbed a dog by his front legs and back legs, raised him over his head and repeatedly slammed that animal on the ground until he was dead. I find nothing but utter disgust for a person who could do such a thing to an animal at his mercy. I likely will never change my opinion of him. I DO NOT CARE HOW HE WAS RAISED. You do not need to be raised in special circumstances or love for animals to know that is wrong and horrible. 

 

There are many circumstances where people have murdered and have served their time and I am fine with that. When a person does what he did to a defenseless animal, not just once but over and over again, to me he is a person who should be shunned by society. That is how I feel and I am not the least bit ashamed of it. 

 

My father always told me you could tell everything you needed to know about a person by the way they treated animals, defenseless children and handicapped/senior and defenseless adults. He was absolutely right.

It's lovely to see so many vegetarians on these boards!

No I am not a vegetarian. There is a large difference in eating animals that are humanely killed and killing animals for sport or because they aren't performing to your standards. Not just taking a gun to their head for a quick and relatively painless death but making them suffer not only in their living conditions but also in the way they die. 

 

I also find what is happening in the poultry industry disgusting. They are far and away the MOST ABUSED animal in the US. That is why I do not buy my poultry or meat from any supermarket chain but only from local farmers where I can see how the animals live but also die. 

 

I speak for the living and dying conditions of my food with my dollars. Yes, it is more expensive but if more people insisted on this the American food industry would have to make a change.
