Sorry, no intent to cause drama or belittle anyone. Sorry if people felt like that. I just get frustrated when people compare the lives of animals to human beings. We love and adore our pets (dogs, horses, cats), but it doesn't compare to the love we feel for the humans in our lives. Our parents, grandparents, kids, significant others or whatever it may be. Sorry Copper Pony, I will edit.
Maybe that's how you feel.  But I know that I love and feel more of a connection to animals than I do to most humans.  So to generalize like that is just wrong.

As for the story, just like everyone else said, it's terrible and the person who did it deserves to rot in hell.
