Religion and Spanking

[Iroscato]

And what I never understood: why is it acceptable to hit a child - even to belt one - and yet if a person lays a hand one hand on a dog, it's considered animal abuse? Is there a specific reason for this?

 I have spanked my dogs for doing behavior they know is not acceptable, I'm not a bleeding heart animals right activist, but you can bet I have dogs who are very happy, love me and are well behaved. My dogs receive a great amount of care, care of all kinds, love and friendship from me.

Dogs have no concept of the consequences of actions, you fucking moron. From their point of view you're just hurting them for no reason. Please stop doing it.
