It's not right. People that treat animals that way are not in rural areas with friends. Maybe you're living in an area where they do that sort of thing, and it's not met with scorn.
I'm in complete agreement with you.
I just wanted to bring up a big cultural difference I've seen in my area that people seem to be unaware of.
