I am simply speaking on behalf of these murderd animals. Animals are more pure than humans anyway.
I am simply saying I am glad it failed for these people. And I still stand by every single statement I have made in this thread.

Animals are more pure? I guess that makes rocks even more pure than animals by extension?
Most animals lack the developed cortex for higher thought and thus do not attach any sense of right or wrong to any of their actions. So when an alligator kills someone's only child and causes tremedous emotional trauma to the family - the alligator sees no difference between that act and killing a pitbull that was about to attack the only child. It was hungry and grabs whatever is convienent.
Purity would be more like understanding the impact of all your actions and ALWAYS choosing to act in a way that benefits those around you - even to your detriment - altruism.
Animals generally do not do this. They are simply ignorant, not pure. There are examples of altruistic biological phenomenoms in the animal kingdom - but these are generally evolutionary mechanisms, not concious efforts by individual animals.
People can choose to be "evil" or "good" in general, animals generally do not get beyond figuring out how to eat, sleep, and procreate.
