    It’s of course hypothetical, and I think, totally within reason, it’s a thread about animal abuse.
    It’s one of the problems we run into when speaking up against animal abuse, people call us extreme when we are really just being up front about what happens in reality.

    I try to keep it civil and respond matter of fact and explain but it can be hard when you get so much toxicity thrown back at you, all because you stand up against animal cruelty.

      Hypothetical or not, I’m telling you that it’s not acceptable for this instance.

        I understand you want to keep it civil here and think it’s a great goal but what you’re saying would keep us from discussing serious subjects.

        When there’s context which explains why something that sounds extreme is brought up you should look at the context, not just react to what you think is extreme.

        I don’t think disallowing thought experiments/hypotheticals is positive.
