I am a vegan and applaud your moral consistency. News articles like this are full of fake outrage by people who support the animal ag industry that commits worse crimes at massively larger scales every single day. In regards to animal welfare this guy and the puppy killer are only very marginally worse than anyone else.
edit: obligatory downvotes by people who want to be mad at animal abuse while supporting animal abuse.
Yeah, an AP picture was posted to twitter and then the photographer was banned lol.
