Arming South American deathsquads with drug money is one thing, but harming fluffy kittens ... now that's outrage time!

>the cat was re-sewn for a second time, and lived a long and happy life afterwards Seeing/knowing how much secret service orgs (of all countries) value human life (near-zero), I will go ahead and assume that somewhere in Moscow there is a hole with 100 dead cats.

  rolls the eyes By the middle 1920-ies there were quite a lot of stray cats and dogs in the Moscow (y'know, after all those events in the span of 1914-1922), and then the city management finally got means and funds to do something with it. So I assure you, there are a lot of holes with hundreds of dead cats in Moscow (and other cities too), without any secret orgs involved.

    I doubt that, the cats and dogs would have been eaten.

I imagine that GP is outraged at both the CIA spilling blood and causing chaos in Central and South America and their animal cruelty. The animal cruelty is the story here though which is probably why they didn't go into the multitude of other crimes.

whataboutism 101.

  That's not what "whataboutism" means. For one, I neither torture cats nor salvadorians.

    Whataboutism: "the technique or practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counteraccusation or raising a different issue." Seems like a textbook case actually.

      Who's responding to an accusation? I'm mocking someone who's more concerned about cats than about humans. That makes no damn sense.

        Who said the parent is unconcerned about humans? Are people expected to list out all of their concerns when addressing the article at hand?
      - MisterTea 6y ago
        Why even value one over the other? We both experience pain, suffering and anxiety. The only difference is the cat has no ability to consent to torture rendered by a self conscious, intelligent animal which is fully aware of what they are doing. In conclusion: You have a moral failing.
