Animal Cruelty

Why should animal cruelty be a crime?

Could any of you give me a rational reason as to why it should be a crime? Leave your feelings and morals at the door, this isn't Oprah's book club.

# 20 Minority? Hardly? There are websites which are solely dedicated to people dying, being killed and so on. Your society in general does  not give a shit about that, but lord have mercy if someone post a fucking dogfight, then you must be burned. Snuff=FUN!!

/b/ is full of irrational moralfags. I'm not either of those.

#24 OK. That's why I asked for a rational reason to my question which you did not answer.
