would you also agree that if a human abuses an animal they should be punished? Or would that be "wrong" to put an animal "above" a man like that?
Or is always not really what you meant?

That depends on the animal and the amount of abuse. I would never send someone to jail for something he does to animals, but of course severe cases should get punished one way or another. Don't get me wrong, I love most animals, but as I said, humans come first, as long as they act reasonably.
What about a person who repeatedly poisons his neighbor's dogs by putting antifreeze in their outdoor water bowls - causing the neighbor to spend over $20,000 in veterinary fees to save them?
This is not a hypothetical situation, and it's one where I really, really think that jail time would be appropriate. As well as compensation for the vet bills, obviously.
I guess we're a bit more jail-happy here anyway, but I'd definitely say that torturing animals rates as a worse crime than, say, getting caught with a few ounces of marijuana.

Doubt it. Frangible ammunition shatters to spread out. Hollow point expands to make 1 big hole

So a situation that is "fun" for a bear but leaves a person dead is better than both surviving?

It would have been a real shame if the policeman had "missed" once.
