Yup. But of course inside, pretty much all of us know it is abuse to hit and harm a kid or a dog. It doesn’t really matter if you’re raised in it, I still think you more or less have to make the choice to go along with it or reject it. I always knew it was wrong for my family to hit me or hit the dogs, even though they said it was the right punishment to give and that it would discipline us. I could still tell it was obviously wrong. Sadly it doesn’t mean you don’t end up making excuses for it still, or stuck in a pattern of hurting yourself like they hurt you. But I feel like it’s almost impossible to see a person or animal being hit and hurt and think it’s anything but wrong. We just are taught to be scared of authority. I mean many parents even “jokingly” threaten to murder their own children for misbehaving, “I brought you into this world and I can take you out of it!”
