@Danstanta, just Google it. It was a story on the news awhile back.
Well, dogs don't neccessarily "have lives," because they are just animals. But what was done is an example of what America calls animal abuse, but in other places, it isn't that bad. And some artists are known to be nutjobs.
Oh and I changed the title of the topic. Like 30 mis-spellings.

I have to argue with you. I would most definitely say my pets have a life. They have their own little personalities and scream quite loud when it's feeding time.
The only thing that separates us from animals really, is our intelligence. Our superior brains makes us superior. We are at the top. At everything else like strength or speed or whatnot we fail but we are the most intelligent. And yet we use that intelligence in ways that seem almost counter productive to life and living.
Only to a human would the concept of torture for the sake of torture occur. And lets face it, dying of thirst is torture.
We are at the top and we've taken that to mean that we have the ability to be utter shits and it's completely fine because nothing lower has the right to resist or fight back or even have the right to live.
I don't know but it seems like once you add that *just* in there then it's almost like giving people carte blanche to be jerks. Do we have right, because of our dominance and intelligence, to be assholes? We certainly have the ability but I think that as we claim to be the most intelligent we have a responsibility to be kinder to lower life forms.
But either way Snopes couldn't confirm if this was even a true story or if it was something blown out of proportion.
Art is a reflection of humanity. If this brings about such a strong reaction toward a discussion of "morality", then what is it trying to say? Would we care if this was a dying stray? Would we care if this was a dying homeless person? Would we look? Would we turn our head?
Now how about something that certainly pops up on TV: Starving children in third world countries. Certainly, we feel about this issue. Do we do anything about it?
Now what about in our backyard: Low-income families who may or may not have enough for food. Do we do anything about it?
At everything else like strength or speed or whatnot we fail but we are the most intelligent.
We're actually the best distance runners on the face of the earth. Short bursts of speed, and we get owned, but a human can outrun pretty much anything over long periods of time.
Would we care if this was a dying stray?
I'm pretty sure that we wouldn't, which in turn brings into question our own morality. Why is it wrong when cameras are there, but not when it's happening in some slum that you've never heard of?
