The warning came Friday, after authorities learned through a social media post that a contest was planned Saturday in Curry County.

2. Odd, isn't it? Such sadistic behavior gets only a vague gesture while helpless animals suffer.

Nor do they view other species as people.

5. Of course not-- we were a special creation, and endowed with souls by our creator...

and even if we don't really believe all that, we certainly developed the ego to consider ourselves superior.
