I read the plain language of your post. I am a reasonably experienced and articulate reader. Beyond responding to what was written, I have had no "reaction".

Can you understand how a person would read that to mean if they do not euthenize their pet in some manner in which they would want to die, they are lacking in decency? If it doesn't mean that, can you explain why are you equating that with having decency?
> Again, slaughterhouse practices and the meat industry in general do not employ methods that I find good or commendable.Hmmm. I don't understand that am allowed to say here what I find good or commendable for other people to do.
> Her death was made a spectacle of ... which I found very sad.I don't understand that I am allowed to say who might make a spectacle of anything. A news produceer might feel it their duty to provide the public information about controversial issues, and families might feel it their obligation to teneciously represent thier perception of a family members interests in court and in public venues.
> Over the centuries we have manage to come up with very sick and twisted ways to destroy each other.hmmm. I don't understand that I am allowed to say what is sick and twisted for other people to do. My lack of understanding of my permission to say such things is informed by the thread below this, where were asked not to call people monterous for recruiting suicide bombers.
