    Honestly, I put animal abusers in a lower circle of hell, along side child abusers.

    It’s about the power differential. The difference between a white adult male and a black adult female (for example) might be considerable, but its not going to be even close to the power differential between either of those adults and a child or a pet.

      I fear more for minority children at the hands of white supremacists than an animal in the hands of a an animal abuser, and I like animals. To me there’s a deeper depravity when a human looks at another human, seeing just the color of their skin, and decides that they are lessor or worse.

        I would bet the overlap between animal abusers and bigots is significant, because there’s a consistent lack of empathy and sadism required for both.

      Yep. The dog probably thought it was about to get pets when she called it over to its execution.
