Same thing if the ######ed kid in my other example was approached by two older boys and was asked "we're going to the park to play ball- want to come along?" Then the kid gets abused, or in this case tortured. That would spark a similar outrage for me.

I think that would make you cringe just as much. Because what bugs me the most is not that a dog died, but somebody took what was likely a fun loving happy go lucky critter and left him with the dying impression that humans are aresholes and that he wasn't loved.

Quoted for truth.
