probably that’s why?

Nope!

He was charged with animal cruelty, probably because of the wacky letter he sent to his neighbor, and that he did it “out of spite.”

    animal cruelty laws are a good thing, but this is bullshit, why are some animals allowed to have rights, while others allowed to be butchered and eaten?

    I'm not vegan, but there should be a consistent framework.

    The line is generally a combination of social, practical, and culinary. That is, if it's not a companion animal, it's not endangered, it is customarily raised as livestock and it is tasty those are all evidence it probably goes in the latter category. So chicken = food, whooping crane = not food because endangered, german shepherd = not food because companion, blue ringed octopus = not food because taste bad.

    So, who's asked whether it is "tasty" or not?
    What if someone fed a really bad diet to chicken and as a result the produce was not tasty to anyone that bought it? Can the seller now get jailed for selling non-tasty chicken (or for having killed those chicken prior to selling them)? :P

    Also, I never really found chicken tasty, out of the few times I tried. Once, it was, due to the marination, but then it's the marination ingredients that are really tasty. So I guess you are better off not referring to me when deciding what is legal :P

    Dude our whole country is governed based on the feelings of right-wing men.

    Every issue, every unsolvable problem, every "why the fuck do we do THAT?!" exists because right-wing men have huge feelings about things and the only cards they can play are either "violence" or "control" (which are usually the same thing.)

    To be fair, from what I've seen if peacock behaviors, they're dicks.

    Animals being dicks is not a good enough reason to kill and eat them. They should also be tasty.

    Is peacock tasty? I've never had any. Can we ask the guy in the news story?
