Arson and animal rights

Is it any surprise that an arsonist would defend arson?

 

Rod Coronado's rationalizations and pretexts remind me of the

hundreds of individual cruelty cases indexed at www.Pet-Abuse.com,

many of them from the archives of ANIMAL PEOPLE, in which the

perpetrators pretend that they killed an animal by any number of

hideous means in the name of putting the animal out of misery.

 

Even more, Coronado's words echo the common pretense of

serial killers that they are upholding public morality by murdering

prostitutes.

 

An even closer parallel might be with the excuses cited by

the perpetrators of so-called " honor killings, " who long have

persuaded lawmakers in much of the world that murdering women has a

moral basis.
