Re “Ventura County Leaders Demand ‘Crush Tapes’ Ban,” Aug. 24.
I have never been so sickened as I was after reading this article. To imagine that there are people out there who actually commit such vile atrocities against animals is way beyond my comprehension. And the people who watch these videos are no better.
I pray that I never see such a video, because I am quite certain I would never be able to stop crying, imagining the unspeakable pain these animals must feel while being senselessly crushed to death.
I write this not so much to condemn those who do these heinous acts but to applaud the efforts of Mickey Rooney, Rep. Elton Gallegly (R-Simi Valley) and other legislators who are working on legislation to end such atrocities.
No, Mr. Rooney, this is not the kind of world we want to hand down to our children. The world we want to hand down to our children is one where animals are allowed to live with dignity and without fear of humans. It is up to people like you and me to make that a reality in our lifetime.
