bestiality, animal cruelty? Options

[waccoon]

Is it really animal cruelty when the dogs aren't harmed?

Sex doesn't have any side effects, does it?
Is sex cruel?
Bestiality should be legal.

ok, better example. when i put my hand out gently in front of my dog, she comes and pokes it with her nose because she wants me to pet her. however, when she does something bad, you can tell she knows it cause when my mom walks in the room, she backs away because she knows she's gonna get hit. (i used my mom there for a reason; i would never hit my dog and i hate it when my mom does, but that's beside the point.) she doesn't want to get hit, and she hasn't been hit yet so it hasn't hurt her. she knows what's gonna happen though, so she backs away because she doesn't want it to.

It is a better example =)

Hmm...but still. It doesn't really answer/reply to my point. My point was that dogs will pull away if it is something they don't like. And from your example, the dog still pulls away from something that they don't want to encounter. Your dog knows she's going to get hurt. That's why she pulls away early. But if your dog knows that she's going to have sex...now why would she pull away? (see last post, it said that sex was natural, etc)

I don't know if I'm making sense, lol.

And out of curiosity, what's the "campaign?" (on your signature). It looks interesting =)

Sikdragon, why do you always act like you're the damn best at debating, and you know way more than everyone else?

Sikdragon made himself the unofficial Debate Section Owner, despite the basic political philosophies of democracy,voting, and the "majority rules" concept.

And I'm not sure if that was an insult or compliment, seeing as how the "more" could be a typo, but I take it that sikdragon is undoubtedly smart and spends time...er...learning.

EDIT// by the way, there's a typo for the topic. It's beastiality, not bestiality.
