      Now there are. However this is country mexico decades ago. Not all are as luxurious as we are.

      If the animals are left to live they will grow wild, it is why we neuter in modern civilization. Dogs and cats are especially invasive species and become a problem to local wild fauna. If we maintain them they would increase upkeep costs of food, another mouth is why we dont have kids loosely and willy nilly.

      It is why in nature a mother cat or dog will eat their children. Starvation and malnutrition, by eating one the mother can live and feed the rest. To hope and give them a tomorrow.

      You act as if these are things openly embraced. It is a merciful and swift death for we peasant folk. I apologize you have lived a life coddled from death and true necessity.

          Torture? I think you do not understand what a swift death entails.

          Neither did my brother, then again you can’t even distinguish I said ‘in-law’ so what would you know of any three of these subjdct matters.

          “It’s tragic that in ignorance there truly is bliss; we can never cherish it while we have it, but we still mourn it’s passing when we lose it.”

          Throwing a rock to protect your food is humanity at it’s most fundamental level. It’s the reason we were able to develop as a species. When you’re reduced to that point, you do not have the luxury of extending your morality to the things that threaten you and yours. I’m sorry you have to confront this today, but this is the reality of life for most people in the world. It’s despicable by your standards, but your standards have gone generations without facing extreme hardship. I sincerely hope you never have more experience with the subject than discussing it online.

              Were this true, we wouldn’t be discussing it. This is not an issue from hundreds of years ago, this is the reality lived by more than a billion people every day. There are places where attacks from feral dog packs are a present concern (example, example), there’s countless reports about this it truly is not difficult to verify. How would you approach this, if you had less than $2.15/day to survive on? A thrown rock is a great deal more effective at addressing the problem than even the most fervent moralizing.

              I’ve faced a lot more hardship than you

              The playgrounds I grew up on could only be visited while armed guards were there. That many children in once place made too tempting a target to be left otherwise unprotected.
