Mermaid had better do some checking on the meatpacking and poultry packing plants as well as dairy farms and egg farms in the US. Look at them and you will see all types of animal cruelty. Chickens are de-beaked and live their lives in tiny cages to produce eggs - and killed for stew chicken or cat food when egg producing stops. Dairy cows are made pregnant every 2 years so they produce milk - and the newborn calves are made into veal. The cows are then slaughtered at about age 6 or 7 for stew meat or dog food when milk production slows down.
The charge against the Morse family is hunting without proper licenses on their own land. This is NOT animal cruelty. It is punishable by a fine - IF found guilty.
Redwitch says it perfectly it is foolish to judge The Villages or any community on the basis of a talk forum. However, if you do that and think the thinking is not to your liking, you probably would not be happy here. There are a lot of other communities in the US. Make your own choice and do not rely on a talk forum to do it for you.
