They were simply sent to Family Court. Can a 17-year-old who mercilessly slaughters helpless creatures – and then brags about it both in person and on social media – suddenly see the light when he reaches the magic age of 18? Who suffers for these crimes? At the time, Justice and Mesker were 17 years old.

My objection is: Why do such research when you don't need to? Like when they're about to be, say, slaughtered? What about being torn from your family? Not to mention the reality that there is so much more involved in being bred for slaughter than pain, and none of that is addressed. This is where I'm confused.

Beloved family pet Dalmatian, Pepper, is stolen, and after several weeks of searching is discovered to have been experimented on at a hospital and died on the table when researchers tried to implant her with an experimental cardiac pacemaker. By the end of my time as researcher, I was performing behavioral experiments on humans.

N]o fish gets a good death. Not a single one.

He clearly thinks that it is wrong to cause animals to suffer unnecessarily, but he appears to be somewhat ambivalent about killing animals (provided the killing is carried out humanely). I suspect that underlying his thinking here is a common rationalization that many of my students initially embrace.
