Wanton animal cruelty is equally as abhorrent as racism.
Feel free to express your position.

Cultural differences, that's all.

A quiet word and a large cheque will sort it out, until the opposition fans get going anyway.

[youngmafbog]

Nothing to do with each other, apart from both unacceptable.

[douglas9401]

I should probably add that nine lives matter.

[Canary42]

Wot next - Chalk is like Cheese?.

[dannyk13]

The two are not comparable.Each is disgusting in it's own right.

[tiggerblue10]

Both are abhorrent but in different ways. Hurling racist abuse is highly offensive and should be dealt with appropriately. No one should have to put up with it. But kicking a cat is causing actual physical harm to an animal that is supposedly a beloved pet and family member.

I don't remember doing such things to my cats. In fact more of my blood was shed during arm wrestling/kicking episodes with my cats than any bloods they had taken at the vets!

[royfromaus]

I didn't expect many answers but must admit I'm surprised everyone has been a scaredy cat and swerved giving a reply that isn't unambiguous.

[Peter Pedant]

my opinion?
a further cat debate is about as attractive as a further debate on Brexit

hi woy! how are you this evg?

[DTCwordfan]

Animal cruelty can be equated to cruelty at large, including racial cruelty. Discuss.....

[pixie374]

Both abusive. Physical harm is generally treated as more serious than verbal, isn't it?

[pixie374]

There are so many variations of each, roy- it's hard to be unambiguous, as it depends what you are comparing.

foo not on AB its not - yaaay !

Cruelty to animals is worse than racism.

[douglas9401]

Even involving a black cat?

[ladybirder]

I'd love to know what his wife, Sandra, thinks of all this.

Hmm. The latest is that Zuma is highlighted for cruelty to animals "cus e is black", and everybody in the pecking party is a waycist. Remember the woman who slapped a horse to bring it under control? She lost her treaching job, and after death threats had to move home. She was white and priveleged though.

You do spout some rubbish Togo.

Naomi; racism can involve physical attacks on people. Just saying...

[rowanwitch]

A cat is a small animal that depends on its owners and cannot defend itself effectively should a human decide to harm it, at the end of the day racism although abhorrent mostly harms other adult humans with the ability to challenge it or where it affects children their parents or other adults can challenge it on their behalf.

If you have ever had a kicking from someone you will know it hurts a
lot for than someone calling you a name you do not like.
