Same goes for the mentally handicapped depending on the disability you really want to go there? As far as experiencing love then no you are just mistaken, that's just wishful thinking.Animals can't reason on the same level as humans, have far less mental capabilities, and for the most part are not capable of the kind of love experienced by humans.

Look, if you're honestly going to tell me that you never stepped on an ant as a kid or something along those lines, then you're either lieing or you did not have a typical childhood. And don't make up something like "the ant could've been carrying disease" or something like that. The kids killed a snake. They're not serial killers. And I'm sorry, but snakes are not equal to people. Animals can't reason on the same level as humans, have far less mental capabilities, and for the most part are not capable of the kind of love experienced by humans. I'm not saying that this was excusable, but if you think that someone deserves to be killed for something like this then you're no less sadistic than they are. Go ahead and report it to the authorities, good for you. But please be rational about it.

TTTT;4683694; said:Anyone who beats an animal to death for fun is NOT right, and yeah as a little kid i stepped on the occasional ant but would never kill a snake (and i cup bugs now and take them outside). But these aren't little kids, they are teens. (And major ***holes)
And FYI, Jeffrey Dahmer grew up torturing and killing animals.
