    Odd that you put the doggy diddling in the headline but omit the child abuse

      From the sounds of the article he only viewed CSAM.

      He actively produced, tortured, raped, and killed these dogs.

      I’d say the animal abuse is the “worse” here because it’s the one he’s responsible for causing.

        You’re not wrong, but you’d think they’d find a way to add both in the headline.

      He filmed himself torturing animals, and downloaded child abuse materials online. Not to split hairs between heinous crimes but there does seem to be a difference there.

      That’s so insufficient. We need time travel for cases like this, so we can go back and prevent him from being born.

        yeah, what about it? i’m a furry, not a zoophile, and they are not welcome in the furry community.

          Considering you’re an admitted furry yourself, I guess you won’t be super honest in answering this question, but I’ll ask it anyways.

          true or false: furries are more likely to be zoophiles than non-furries

            certainly the furry fandom has an issue with zoophiles but that’s no different to the anime fandom and pedos. predators of any kind need to know that they are not welcome in those spaces and i’ll say it as many times as i need to.

                The anti furry shit stopped being funny over a decade ago. Conflating furries with sex criminals and animal abusers is just fucked

                  I’m not conflating furries with animal abuse. I’m saying that furries are sick in the head and I don’t find them funny in the least.

            Never thought I would be saying this, but the bronies are alright. They’re a wierd bunch but they’re our wierd bunch who made it through the early days of the internet. Not like those disgusting influencers or crypto boys.

                I’ve got some bad news for you… that ‘5 years ago’ is actually 10 or more. The Bronies doco came out in 2012, which is … eleven years ago apparently, and they were well established then.

              I’m just being an arsehole. TBH if the Juggalos, Furries and Bronies etc are all anti-MAGA, then they are OK by me, no matter how fucked-up I think their weird shit is.

              Ultimately it comes down to aesthetics and opinion. Whatever.

              Paedophiles and animal rapists on the other hand, I’d happily put through a wood chipper. No grey areas there.

    This guy needs death. Not as a punishment, but because this kind of person is evil incarnate. Not even human anymore.

      I’m not on his side, the strict opposite, but we can’t kill em all. I’d we start there, where do we stop? I know, it seems oh so complicated, but it’s not black and white. We have to find a way to deal with these individuals. I haven’t got a plan, but killing them isn’t a viable solution. Think about it. I know, it sounds so tempting and easy, but it’s not easy to deal with these things. Never.

        I hear you, I’m against the death penalty myself… until these types turn up and then I think… why should my tax dollars keep these pieces of shit alive?

        On the other hand, we don’t want the state to be executing people all the time. So what is to be done?

        Maybe we need to put it to a vote. Every year the state gets a maximum amount it can put to death. We vote on who gets the rope. There can’t be too many, like 5 per year seems like too many.

        Idk, after watching a ton of true crime videos, I’m acutely aware that there are a very small number of people that just shouldn’t be alive because they are a danger to everyone else including inmates who could be rehabilitated and be non-violent members of society.

          Maybe we need to put it to a vote.

          The thing about that is,that people vote and people are the factor that’s the most easily manipulated in such proceedings. Just ask the Trump-financed ad campaign where he tried to convince the public to put the Central Park Five to death. Or where he tried to get people to vote for him for that matter. Sometimes a vote just serves to confirm what you managed to convince the public of.

          What was that saying again? “Pure democracy is when five wolves and one sheep vote on what’s for dinner”.

          I’m against the death penalty but there are a lot of murder cases where I, as a juror, would vote not-guilty.
