Killing with kindness

Animals
We've been feeding our best buddy Benjamin Waggin Train Jerky Treats for over three years. We've lovingly broken the strips into bite size bits and served them with his favourite lamb and rice food, a dollop of flaked tuna and a big bowl of fresh water. But we may have been feeding him poison. Benjamin has been having a number of issues for the past year or so including whinging, bloated stomach, irregular bowel movements and lethargy which we attributed to his age (we think he's between 8-10 years old) and his penchant for licking any outdoor body of water including plant pots, ditches, drainage ditches etc. He's been to the vet a number of times but there's we've never found anything conclusive.

Why would a young couple, after caring for a 32 year-old horse in declining health, euthanize the animal, gut it and climb inside the carcass? No, I'm serious. Jasha Lottin and her boyfriend John Frost of Oregon cared for the horse but decided to end its life with a single shot from a large calibre rifle which they maintain was performed humanely and only because the animal was suffering. But gutting the animal, climbing inside its carcass to pose for photos and then butchering and eating it is beyond bizarre to say the least. After posting the photos online (yeah...they really did!) they suffered relentless backlash from animal lovers worldwide including the standard threats of death and eternal damnation. When questioned by Washington State police, Lottin maintained she wanted to…
