I call for Biblical justice — an eye for an eye

I can understand why some people choose to be vegetarians. I’ve even considered becoming a vegetarian from time to time, but I just like hamburgers too much. And I’ve always felt a connection to nature and to animals. And while I’m quick to agree that Homo Sapien Sapien are intellectually superior to animals, animals aren’t stupid creatures. They can communicate with one another. They can communicate with humans if the human is really willing to pay attention. And they have feelings. They care for their young. They care for their elders. There are endless stories of one species caring for the young of another.
So when I hear stories of animal cruelty, whether by an adult or a child, it makes my blood boil. This story, though, is truly heinous. I genuinely felt physically ill when I first read this article. If it was my call these perps would suffer the same punishment that they doled out to these pigs. It’s mind boggling that a species that is capable of incredibly selfless acts is also capable of such disgusting and appalling crimes. Now where did I put that veggie burger…
