Why does it have to be in a separate thread? It's the exact same thing. Whether you are hunting, slaughtering animals for meat, or throwing a cat in a microwave it is the same thing. Some animal is getting killed.
Some have tried to show the differences.
"Nutritional sustenance" vs "Entertainment"
If you think that act X should be legal, but not if done for entertainment purposes, you would need a pretty good reason for limiting that freedom.
"Suffering over quickly" vs "Suffering over longer period of time"
Explain that one to the deer that gets shot, but manages to run off and escape into the woods to die slowly and painfully of an infection from the wound.

Animal rights don't exist. But property rights do. These kids broke into someones home and destroyed a piece of their property. While the property damaged does not have a huge monetary value, they can sue for emotional damage in a civil case.

It really confuses me how people who eat veal get riled up over cases like this.
