OK, so I was watching this amazing horror claymation animator that I'm now obsessed with, and this is one of the films, and it really effected me and made me think. Here's the video:
My story: This made me bawl, because when I was a little girl I was made a "circus" for my hamster just like the boy in the video, and ended up tossing my hamster around because my sister said that they were like cats and always landed on their feet. Whiskers started dragging her legs, and died the next day. Accidentally killing that hamster was the single most traumatic moment of my entire life, and probably the reason I was a vegan and vegetarian for over 10 years. I still haven't been able to forgive myself, and I probably never will.
One of the signs of a serial killer/sociopath is harming animals, and NOT feeling that remorse. Doing it for fun. I think that even though what happened to Whiskers is really sad, it taught me a valuable lesson about morality, life and death, and responsibility. I'm wondering if it's a normal lesson that children learn when they are too young to know better and how to take care of animals.
Have any of you learned this lesson the hard way? Or have any thoughts on it? I know it's a really morbid topic, and I'm pretty much in tears while typing this, but I'd really like to hear your guys' thoughts on the matter.
