Well, I am against killing any animal, but I wont flame people for doing in in a HUMANE way, with no pain inflicted on the animal. I think those bastards who skinned that beagle need to be skinned themselves, then see how they would like it. I cant believe someone would be able to do that! Must be sick in the head. You cant be normal if you do that to living creatures for fun.

if a cow calves badly, for example, and damages the nerves to its back legs (which is certainly not un-common amongst cattle), it will fall down, and will not be able to get back up. you then spend 2 or 3 days trying to get the beast to stand by helping it up using equipment, to no avail. when it is certain the poor animal will never be able to stand again (even with surgery), the knackerman is called to come and put down the animal, and you must wait a further 2 days at least, before he arrives.
meaning in total, the animal would spend at least 4 - 5 days just lying in the same place, in its own muck, susceptable to disease and infection. we would give it food and water twice a day, and we would roll the cow by hand a few feet away from its mess into fresh straw everyday, or sometimes move it to a totally new and clean location by rolling it into the bucket of the telehandler (JCB forklift) and shifting it that way, but its no easy job. a cow can weigh up to 800kg (almost a ton), thus the reason for rolling it, this puts more stress onto the cow.
for those thinking 'just let it live untill it dies naturally', its not as simple as that. last year when i was at a different farm, the farm boss was a lazy git, so when a cow went down and wouldnt get back up, it took him a week before he bothered to call someone to cull it. and by then she had lost a lot of weight, had formed a large lump (i dont know what it was) the size of a football on the side of her neck, and she couldnt turn her head. the herdsman thought enough was enough, and against the boss's wishes, decided to put the cow out of its misery himself (with a gun ofcoarse). but on the day he was going to do it, we found her dead. she had caught ceptosemia and pneumonia, and one had killed her off.
but if anyone thinks its kinder to leave it in its own shit for the rest of its life, rather than kill it and end its misery, then thats their mistake. British farmers are always portrayed in the press as being evil, torturous bastards, unkind to their livestock, but im gettin' pissed off with it now. we just do the jobs that noone else has the stomach or dedication to do, to ensure
you get your milk for your cuppa' and your cerial, meat for your dinner, etc... then people turn around to you and declare that killing an animal for any reason what-so-ever is bad, un-just and wrong, and should not be done. that is
extreme short sightedness. noone hears about the foreign chicken farmers that throw living male chicks straight into a turning mincer! and yet sell meat in this country!
i am in no way backing animal torture, because its sick. im just saying that putting an animal out of its misery in a humane fashion is the right thing to do. im not saying this to anyone in particular, just showing you the truth.
you need to know the full picture before you start playing God.
Animal Cruelty; Dog skinned
Well this is sick, and the pictures aren't too pretty, but at least the dog doesn't seem to be bleeding everywhere. I can't understand sadism like this. Those cocky sadists out there need a slap and stronger sentences. I don't agree with the death penalty, but I can agree with rotting in jail if you have multiple life sentences...I don't think the people who did this are safe on the streets ever again.
