minus-squareremon@ani.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·18 days ago14 Is plenty old enough to know you shouldn’t torture animals for fun.
minus-squarehoohoohoot@fedinsfw.applinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·18 days agoThe person just started living, there is plenty of room for improvments
minus-squareremon@ani.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·18 days ago14 years isn’t “just started”. And abusing animals at that age is a giant red flag. The US justice system will probably go overboard, but there should definitely be consequence for that behaviour at that age.
minus-squarehoohoohoot@fedinsfw.applinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·18 days agoSure People at age of 14 cant yet legally consent to sex, yet you want them to have seriously severe consequences?
minus-squareremon@ani.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·18 days agoThat depends on jurisdiction. In Germany 14 is the age of consent as well as criminal liability.
minus-squarehoohoohoot@fedinsfw.applinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·18 days agoBy the way, isnt a baby alligator also dangerous?
minus-squareremon@ani.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·18 days agoNot sure, but looking at some images they seem pretty small and toothless, so probably not a major threat to a teenage human.

minus-squarehoohoohoot@fedinsfw.applinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·18 days agoSure maybe some parent punishment, but you obviously have no idea how any criminal record, ESPECIALLY at that age affects their life FOREVER, do you? Did I mention that its an animal? Im not excusing it, Im just making sure you know the difference between a human and animal.
minus-squareremon@ani.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·18 days ago Sure maybe some parent punishment, but you obviously have no idea how any criminal record, ESPECIALLY at that age affects their life FOREVER, do you? Then you should get a law that allows the striking of juvenile offences from the permanent record. Im not excusing it, Im just making sure you know the difference between a human and animal. Yes, I assume he’s getting charged with animal abuse and not assault, so that is already accounted for.
minus-squarehoohoohoot@fedinsfw.applinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·18 days agoThats ridicilous We can kill animals however we like, and then eat them, but not hit them?
minus-squarebutwhyishischinabook@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·18 days agoThat’s correct, I don’t think someone two years away from driving a car should be given a free pass to torture animals.
