I can't tell if you are being serious about your argument (animals are animals, so there is no such thing as being cruel to them to get what we want from them) or are just playing devil's advocate.

that sting ray was never cought and brought to justice..maybe that was exacly what it wanted!
and more like second option. its just that our simpathy for animals is very selective. you can burn ants with magnifying glass - yea. its normal. you can have snail collection and then squash them - no one minds. also you can use flamethrower to get rid of "dont have a dictionary..jumpy things from bible that plage the fields" ...as soon its something cute we all lose our minds over them and just panic - how can they do that? and when it comes to humans in cages...yea- you wont find an activist group for them as big as for pandas.
thats what bugs me.
