Is it normal that sometimes i really hate people for their cruelty to animals

Is it normal that I hate people, Men in particular for abusing animals. Its like they don't know that animals hurt, feel pain, get depressed, have needs, love. Animals have NO voice, they cannot defend themselves. They are helpless and vulnerable and dependant on people. It makes me sick that a person could treat a living thing like that. Is it normal that I value LIFE in all forms and hate people who do not?

    ALL the time. If you can hurt a dog, you can hurt a child.

  • Yes, I wish there was really SEVERE consequences for cruelty to animals - worldwide.

    I think you are generalizing the aggressive and violent biological nature of males (men) to apply to all men, regardless of their individual personalities and upbringing, simply because they are men. Then you are making a second generalization based on that one; linking men to the aggressive & violent behavior of animal cruelty.

    I think it's more of a cultural (taught in the home) thing to be cruel to animals, and not so much a men vs. women, violence vs. nurturing thing.

    Yes. It's hard for me to supress my feelings on this subject. Animals feel and often times their feelings are directly connected to us. When they hurt, we hurt! We see the pain in their eyes. I detest my relatives because when I was in the middle of move last year i left my cat with my elderly mom and my brother threw my cat in door cat out to spite me. I begged, pleaded and sobbed on the phone with his wife and others to let my liitle cat in or in the least feed her but the response was "leaving food out might attract bears". As if my innocent in door cat wasnt herself bear food. My cat is dead - partly because I left her trusting family. Trust no one but yourself with your pets. I explained this personal experience because the grief I feel over the loss of my cat is great and if everyone could see cruelty to animals like beating, killing, starving or abandoning one of their own children maybe they would not commit such horrific, sinful acts. In the very least people are thoughtless and apathetic. Maybe my brother just didn't give a crap once my cat was outside, but it took an active act of cruelty to ignore a begging, starving animal who had never been outside a day in her life and would have been clinging to the front door to be let back in. Everytime I think of anal cruely I think of my 9 year old cat dying in the snow because my brother doesn't love me. The tears never end.

    So, yes. Hate is a realistic emotion!

    It also really bothers me when people abuse animals. I think there needs to be more and stricter animal rights laws.

    I ran over and killed 3 pit bull puppies that were in the street the other day. I didn't consider it cruel though because they died instantly!
