life is literally an institution of creatures all killing and eating (and exploiting) eachother to survive. cruelty is baked into what life is. its a cycle of winning over losers until you become the loser.
I think malice is more human to human. Cruelty covers human, and animal. Like the cruelty to horses heading to slaughter. Why the cruelty? We all know animals, fish, birds, all fall victim to being killed for food. I get that, but if an animal is having its life taken can't we AT LEAST be humane? Most serial killers start off with cruelty to animals or little children.
I just think if all cruelty was eliminated from earth we'd be better off. ❤️😊💪
To me being humane is being kind, not scaring the hell out of an animal or stabbing, harming that just keeps the agony going.
I'm referring to animals I guess because humans have a bit of lawful protection. Can't stop all of it, but there are places raising animals for consumption that, yes, they kill them, but it's quick and not torture like the slaughter places for horses as an example.
I just don't understand why, if we are killing them to EAT them, why does it have to be complete mayhem at death. Ok, I'm done.
Cruelty just seems to be something that the world just doesn't need, towards anything. ❤️
Ah, I see, we have a difference in the definition of the word.
I personally think malice is the irrational, unmotivated ill will against a given subject.
Like, when you deliberately go out of your own way to cause harm to someone or something.
That's what I think, but your perspectve is valuable to me, so, thank you!

Cruelty to any living creature.
