I love how outright idiotic some "animals rights" people are. They rail against cruelty to animals by mankind, yet when a puma breaks the neck of an innocent rabbit, where are they then? Why is there no outcry against lion-on-lion violence? When an alligator attacks a gorilla sitting peacefully in his perch, how can they just sit back and say nothing? HOW? 
Errrr... bit of a difference there methinks.
Theres no connection between those scenarios. One - the puma eating a rabbit - is a completely natural occurence - 'cruelty' cannot come into it. Cruelty is a human perception. However there are many valid animal cruelty/welfare issues out there - battery hens, veal crates, animal exports, factory farming - that cannot be justified in my opinion. BTW, I am not an animal rights 'crank' nor a 'veggie'(no disrespect to them::D. Too many people can't/don't want to make the connection between whats on their 'McPlate', how it got there and what it actually is...
