And let's not forget plenty of other examples of systemic animal cruelty within various cultures :

Spanish bullfighting
Force feeding of geese (France and Belgium)
Rodeos in the USA, Canada, Australia, Argentina
Steeplechases, Fox hunting and greyhound racing in Britain, Ireland and Oz
Dolphins routinely killed in N. Japan
Canadian Fur Seals
Japanese whaling
Orangutans in Borneo, Sumatra
"Longline" and "Gill netting" factory ship fishing practices
Dog fights and Cock fights
Dancing Russian bears
'Coursing'..

And the list goes on...

You really have a 'thing' for Muslims don't you?

Did a Muslim woman beat the fuck out of you?

Not quite in the spirit of the thread....but why O why do people have animals for Xmas and then try to get rid of them on Facebook a week later.

My friend has just paid £250 for a little terrier that some vile woman was advertising as an unwanted gift, a cross puppy (probably a Cairn/Jack russell I'm guessing) and she was taking it to be put to sleep as it had chewed her house up. My friend didn't even want a puppy but her little face was too much to resist.

I can't tell you how many adverts I've seen for puppies this week for sale, there are some vile, nasty people out there who shouldn't be allowed to have animals, ever.

What makes it twice as vile a practice, is that those recipients of the "unwanted gift" pets then have the bare_faced cheek, the very hide, as to sell on those suffering animals...

Around here, the great majority of people who receive unwanted pets as gifts still have the decency to give them away "free to a good home",  rather than coldly and cynically attempt to profit from that pet's misfortune..

People who consider giving puppies or kittens as unsolicited gifts should think thrice about that idea --  and then donate the money to a local animal rescue shelter or the RSPCA instead.
