Further to my report on the slaughter of the elephants by the militia in South Africa, it has raised an issue again. This one has been constantly lingering in the corridors of muttars.com and has been the subject of much debate.

The issue is the death sentence. And whether some lose the right to live after committing an act so heinous that it defies belief almost. The traditional and very wide-ranging and predominant opinion is that human life is sacrosanct. This usually comes from the bleeding heart types, the same types of weak people who tend to destroy dogs if they look sideways at their 'little ones'. This, despite the fact that a/ the kids are usually out of the parents sight, therefore control and b/ they are usually treating the animal like it's some sort of toy - riding on its back, pulling its ears, poking it etc. (I've said this before ad nauseum! When are morons going to listen?)
(A friend of mine's kids wanted to pet my two Collies yesterday. I said of course they could - the animals are extremely pleasant. However, I was very clear to them - JUST STROKE THEM GENTLY. Don't punch them or poke them or otherwise cause them aggravation - like pulling ears, jostling them etc - see above).

My opinion of these people hovers between contempt and disgust and they are usually the ones who after they've fucked up, cite the 'he/she's only human' defence.

"Oh, sorry for shooting ten people indiscriminately - but it's ok, I'm only human!"

In my opinion that citation is more of a slur nowdays than anything else and in a world of 6 billion and counting, with jails all over becoming full to bursting, what other choice are we really going to have. The cost of houssing such violent offenders is astronomical. Just execute them.

A man breaks into a house, kills the parents and rapes their child daughter. Why am I the only one who thinks he should be destroyed?
Aaargh!
