Dogs and Death
I have a story to tell you. My teacher has a friend he met after college. They were both divorced (the person he met was a girl)and lover of dogs. They both got to know each other well and became friends. Then one day she told him a very touching story to him. She said that she regularly has dogs and animals at her parents farm. Well the one dog had so many puppies that she couldn't feed some at all. She knew some pups would die within weeks because of starvation. Then she went on to say that the way to bring on the inevitable was to drown the dogs in the lake (ones who were unfit to be fed). She figured it was the right thing to do because they would've died of starvation so she wanted the misery of them to end quickly and mercifully. She put them in a bag and drowned them unfortunately. Is this normal to think its okay because she didn't want them to suffer or is it not normal because of the horrible way she killed them?

How is drowning less pleasant to starvation? Sure, it takes less time, but the struggle to breath can't be very pleasant.
Drowning an animal is still suffereing for them. Jeesh.
Having so many puppies may have lead to all of them going hungry, rather than a few, so maybe it was better for the mother and all the puppies.
The problem is that you are thinking in idealistic terms, not realistic. A farm is often secluded, and there are not many poeople willing to constantly feed, train, wean, excersize, and clean a newborn puppy.
Euthanizing animals is much more humane than drowning, in my opinion, but it can be very expensive and sometimes is even unavailable.
"It is NOT unrealistic to expect people to respect other forms of life than human and to allow them to live by using the resources we ALL have at our disposal allow them to keep their lives."
Three words in response to that silly paragraph: Yes is it
Expecting people to "respect other forms of life than human and to allow them to live by using the resources we ALL have at our disposal allow them to keep their lives" may be morally right-
but it is unrealistic to expect mot people to hold these ideals. At least the woman had some mercy in her reasoning, no matter how much it repulses you.
It makes barely a difference where the person lived, in fact, I think it would be more difficult outside a city. You live in an area where everyone treats their animals as human? I find that hard to believe, especially in a rural community.
You made a bunch of silly statments that I think are amusing. My favorite is "ANYONE who will do this to puppies will do this to humans. She's just as bad as any other abuser or humans or animals, and she should be arrested for killing these animals."
heh... no comment necessary
You don't even know her personal circumstances and yet you are holding her to the standards you made for yourself. Saying she is a danger to society is naive and a bit extreme.
I doubt animals have the same concept of "respect" as we do. You act like animals are little fuzzy people. This is not the case, whether you like it or not.
What I do not see here, is how the woman is a danger. She didn't put animals on the same level, not particularly should she. Saying she is a danger is a leap that I think has more to do with your personal opinions rather than morality in general.
"ANYONE who will do this to puppies will do this to humans. She's just as bad as any other abuser or humans or animals, and she should be arrested for killing these animals.
She deserves to have her head held underwater until she's an inch from death and she'll see just how horrible her actions were. "
"ANYONE who will do this to puppies will do this to humans"
That is saying she was a danger. There is no point in arguing if you are just going to run in circles lol
