Bedford Teens Charged In Bird's Death and Religion and The Right to Use Animals

 

            Bedford Teens Charged In Bird's Death and Religion and The Right to Use Animals.
             I did two articles because they both appealed to me. The first article is about two kids, 18 years old, who climbed a tree to hop the fence of a homeowner, John Vratsenes. The kids proceeded to beat to death one of Vratsenes rare sandhill cranes. The kids were charged with criminal mischief, felony animal cruelty count, criminal trespass and conduct after an accident. Both may not be within 200 yards of the house it happened at. To kill the bird, they had beat it with a rake handle. The crane is being kept frozen in Vratsenes care in case it is needed in the court.
             The other article has to deal with religion and how religious people justify sacrificing animals for their deity. God, if there is one, or a supreme being, would not put animals on earth to have them be sacrificed. Humans are just scared of there not being a supreme being. And they go to extremes so they can have faith in something. .
             My thoughts on the first article were: I think both kids should be put into prison for 2 years. They had no reason to beat to death that rare sandhill crane. It is one of the most stupid ideas I have ever heard. .
             My thoughts on the second article were: religion is sketchy and people do things like sacrificing animals because they BELIEVE that that is what their deity wants them to do. Why would they disgrace what they believe to be God's creation.
