I don't rant too often, but I saw saw one of those commercials were they show a bunch of clips of animals being neglected and abused, and it pissed me off. I don't tend to get too emotional over these commercials, but seeing the condition that these animals are in just bothers me. At first I'd get depressed watching them, but now they just get me angry. How do you guys feel when you see these commercials?

Mostly pissed off. I mean who does that to their cats and dogs?

Those commercials get me every time. Your right, it is bothering that people would hurt, abuse and neglect cats and dogs, or any other animals that are considered pets.

OH my gosh!! Those commercials make me cry then I get angry. It really hurts to see how some people treat their animals. If you can't take care of them then don't have them.

I hate 'em too. One of the only things that angers me more than someone mistreating a dog is someone mistreating a child.

I hate animals who abuse people. It's just wrong.

I hate animals who abuse people. It's just wrong. I remember my first cat used to throw his food dish at my head when he got really hungry. He also would give me Charlie horses. I still miss him.

I actually just put in my two weeks notice and one of the reasons I gave for my resignation was I just found out the company I worked for was one of the leading violators of animal rights in the world and I couldn't get through work anymore knowing I was getting paid by these scumbags who benefit from torturing these animals from birth to death.

I'm a very easygoing guy and there are very few things that get me angry. Mistreating animals is one of them. It just sickens me when I see those commercials.

My sister got a kitten with no tail from an animal shelter. It doesn't have a tail because some punk kids cut it off when it was a baby.

I do personally have issues with those commercials as it's a tactic more radical groups like PETA used to do where you'd be nicely strolling in Union Square and all the sudden you see tons of pickets with pictures of mutilated animals. I know some people really are ignorant to what they go through (or if it's not a pet/cute it doesn't matter), but there isn't a need to show people (especially children) those kinda images without more consent and mind you this is coming from a guy who has been a vegan for almost 10 years.

They make my 5 year old daughter cry everytime. I myself am not really a big animal guy but I do think if you're so weak you have to pick on a defenseless animal you need to pay for it.

You would have hated my former friend Steve then. I kind of despise a lot of the things he did ... Anyway, we were around 18 years old and we were leaving a party one night. Well, he was a real big redneck who was born in Louisiana and he often wore a cowboy hat, carried a boot knife, and walked around with a wild look in his eyes. On this night, he saw one of the farm cats come out. Well, he called over to the cat, "Here kitty kitty kitty kitty kitty" and the cat came over. Then he pulled out his boot knife and stabbed it in the side. He laughed evilly as the cat hissed and ran off. Probably to die somewhere.
And before you ask, no I didn't turn him in. We were pretty much bros and I never ratted him out for the silly and downright mean things that he did.

^The dude stabs cats?!
Well umm I have had my two cats for sixteen years and I'm twenty one. Pets can be just as important to you as a family member. Basically I've known them for three quarters of my life.
I have another cat who, when my Nan passed away, we adopted and I could never of seem him put in a shelter because I've known him for years.
Also this doesn't have anything to do with vegetarianism (though I am vegetarian) or anything of the sort. Hurting defenseless animals or people or people's property is just bullying and really makes me hope that these kind of people run in to some one bigger than them who likes to pick on people smaller than them.

He was really messed up then. He's supposed to be better now, but I haven't really talked to him in years. He was going through a lot of shit at home that no one knew about.

My sister got a kitten with no tail from an animal shelter. It doesn't have a tail because some punk kids cut it off when it was a baby. I actually almost got in a lot of trouble when I was 16 because I came across two 13 or 14 year old kids poking a duck from the pond in our neighborhood with a needle and cutting off its feathers. I told them to stop. They didn't. Tried again. They were little punk ass skater kids who thought they were tough, so I grabbed one of them when he got in my face and basically beat the shit out of him while the other one ran away to tell daddy. I walked away without a scratch. But I had to have a little chat with the police. In the end, nothing happened to me.
