Why? Because they are mere animals who deserve to be brutally killed
for not deifying cunts like the Spice Girls, Princess Di and David
Beckham?

Go fuck yourself bitch or better yet, lock yourself in a washing
machine for 24 hours.

After that (if you're not dead), you might even be able to spell
"Alan" (hint: u belongs in "cunt", not "Alan" unless of course you are
a cunt in which case you may continue to spell it "Alun")

It sounds as if you only have so much compassion to go around, and in
that limited regard, your allocation of this limited resource seems well
placed. I, OTOH, don't have limitations where livings things are
concerned, and consider abuse to humans and non-humans in like fashion.
It's good to know divers don't support this particular type of abuse
by paying money to play kissy-kissy with caged dolphins, because if they
did, paying money to play kissy-kissy with caged children could become a
feature at the local state fair.

Thanks for your non-support.

Enjoy your lack of limitations. I've spent too long studying human rights
violations to be shocked, appalled etc. about pretty much anything short of
genocide (and even then only some of the time).

I doubt it. Too many couples get together and have children. Too few get
together and have dolphins.
