Animals are ok. I don't go out of my way to love them and I sure don't go out of my way to hurt them.
But this is funny....
My brother tells it better than I ever could, but I'll try:
He accidentally backed his car over a kitten in the driveway.
So he ponders- take it to the vet and spend untold sums toward its recovery... or
kill it and tell his daughter the whole thing was a tragic accident.
So he grabs the kitten in his hand and hurtles it up in the air as high as he could...
bam.
It's still alive.
Again. Bam. Again. Again.
Well of course it died.
Yes, my brother had remorse. Yes, he had recourse. And some redress.
But he saved more money from killing that kitten than he would have by switching to GEICO.
