  Dude our whole country is governed based on the feelings of right-wing men.

  Every issue, every unsolvable problem, every “why the fuck do we do THAT?!” exists because right-wing men have huge feelings about things and the only cards they can play are either “violence” or “control” (which are usually the same thing.)

  why are some animals allowed to have rights, while others allowed to be butchered and eaten?

  The line is generally a combination of social, practical, and culinary. That is, if it’s not a companion animal, it’s not endangered, it is customarily raised as livestock and it is tasty those are all evidence it probably goes in the latter category. So chicken = food, whooping crane = not food because endangered, german shepherd = not food because companion, blue ringed octopus = not food because taste bad.

  Yes the charges are related to the way he slaughter the animals. Because the neighbors were taking photos of the beautiful peacocks this guy decided to brutally kill the peacocks and eat them to spite the neighbor.

  Well that is what I read in a comment somewhere.

    if he were to slaughter chickens that way, no one would bat an eye, bleeding them to death is the Kosher/Halal way
