      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.
