Tape Shows Teens Lighting Possums On Fire
Vile... I don't generally agree with anything PETA stands for, and of late they themselves have been known to perpetrate a little gruesomeness themselves. But this is beyond the rancorous disagreement between those who believe animals have exactly the same rights as humans, and those who believe they are put on earth for us to tend and manage to our benefit.
Cows in a slaughterhouse are not tortured before they are killed. Chickens may live in squalid, cramped conditions before being killed, but they aren't tortured and laughed-at by the handlers. It's a business. There are ways to do an animal in quickly, without undue fuss or prolonged suffering on the animal's part.
Torture is a symptom of a deeper, uglier thing.
