Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I've developed a philosophy that jokes often have a grain of truth in them and that animal cruelty jokes can encourage animal cruelty (even though that may not be the intent of the joker). I'm also working on replacing phrases such as " you can't beat a dead horse " with substitute phrases (or by just not saying anything). Words are very powerful tools and like my diet, there are things I never really considered before that I am rethinking. Since one of my personal goals is to practice more kindness in my life I'm working on not disseminating things that are inherently unkind. Again, this is only my personal philosophy. Therefore, to answer your question, in my view, it is not better. Susan --- peter hurd <swpgh01 wrote: > Hi Susan, > Sorry you didnt like the pic, its part of a > series.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Each to his own, but how can it not be better? 1. a picture of a plastic toy being cut with a plastic knife or 2. a real animal being harmed? Which would you rather happen?
