About This Quote

People who wouldn't dream of drowning a puppy in a barrel full of water think nothing of killing a fish the same slow way. It’s true that people who would never think of drowning a puppy in a barrel full of water, will often kill a fish in the slowest and most painful way possible. The idea is that we should be kind to animals and treat them with respect. However, there are times when an animal deserves to be killed quickly and painlessly.
