are animal cruelty gamess legal?

Question

this is terrible... the other day i saw my younger cousin playing some awful games
kitten cannon?
i think this is wrong...
is that kind of game even legal?

Answer 1

Oh, yes... Kitten Cannon... Penguin Punt... All legal, all digital gore.
No actual kittens were harmed in the making of the game.
What's the difference between a dump truck full of bowling balls and a dump truck full of dead babies?
Your cousin probably laughs at that joke, too. It doesn't mean he's going to shoot kittens out of cannons. They're too darn expensive, for one thing.

Answer 2

I guess you haven't seen many video games lately. Murder for fun has been legal in games forever (ex Grand Theft Auto). If that is legal why would animal abuse games be illegal? There are matters of taste. And companies will pull unsavory games if it affect their bottom line. Many things are wrong, but hey we get free speach in return, lol.

Answer 3

Of course they're legal if you're talking about video games. (Real life??? No.) But is it the right thing for your younger (how young?) cousin to be doing? NO!

Answer 4

I've played that game, it's fun. But no, those arent illegal. it's freedom of speech. Just about anything on the internet falls under that category. All you can do is talk to that kid about it, and tell him that it is wrong, and that they should never do that in real life.

Answer 5

Please dont tell me you went to addicting games!Kitten Cannon is one of the games I hate the most!

Answer 6

Another season of aerial gunning is underway in Alaska. And this year could be the bloodiest in decades, with the state seeking to eliminate as many 664 wolves through aerial gunning and other means in areas slated for aerial control.

Last year, more than 150 wolves were killed, shot down by gunners using low-flying aircraft. At least ten wolves have already been killed this year.

You can help put an end to this brutal practice. Please donate $25, $50, $100 or more now to support our Campaign to Save America’s Wolves.

Because they are such social animals, each wolf’s death can be damaging to its pack’s ability to hunt and survive. Yet gunners can indiscriminately kill any wolf, including pack leaders and pregnant mothers.

Allowing private individuals, rather than state personnel, to conduct aerial gunning also leads to increased wounding and suffering.

We need your support to end aerial gunning. Please make a donation online now to support our work in Alaska, on Capitol Hill and in the courts to help save wolves.

Defenders of Wildlife opposes aerial gunning, and we’re not alone.

Alaskans have twice voted to restrict the use of aircraft to shoot wolves. Not surprisingly, many wildlife supporters and hunters alike consider airborne wolf killing to be unsporting and cruel.

Scientists and conservationists worry that the programs’ goals of artificially inflating game numbers threatens not only Alaska wolves but also the long-term health of local ecosystems that wolves help keep in balance.

Please help us end aerial gunning in Alaska.

Our emergency action to save wolves in the Northern Rockies and our ongoing work in Alaska have stretched our time, resources and funds to the breaking point. That’s why we need your help to raise $25,000 by January 31st to support these and other efforts to save wolves…
Grassroots mobilization. In Alaska and around the world, we’ve mobilized hundreds of thousands of dedicated activists in opposition to aerial gunning. Working with local conservationists and sportsmen, along with our sister organization, Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund, we’ll also do everything in our power to support an upcoming state-based ballot initiative to restrict aerial gunning.
Legal advocacy. Along with our ongoing litigation to end Alaska’s aerial gunning programs, Defenders is seeking a preliminary injunction that would ground the aerial gunners until the courts hear our case.
Federal lobbying. The new Congress offers a remarkable opportunity to finally spur federal action to end aerial gunning in Alaska. We’re already working to introduce and pass legislation to strengthen and clarify the Federal Airborne Hunting Act, the law passed in the 1960s to prevent programs like Alaska’s.
Wolves are dying right now. Please make the most generous donation you can to support this important campaign and help us save wolves.
