Mr.Forks 20 Posted February 24, 2020 In NJ, Is it legal to feel live animals to other live animals? Seems terrible, but many people who own snakes feed them live Mice/Rats/Rabbits- or have to buy live animals and euthanize them to feed fresh. There was a man in NC that was arrested for not feeding his fish ( it was later dropped). Would hate to be the guy that loses my 2a rights over something like pet-food Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thawed frozen food has become popular in recent years but some species will only eat live food. Nothing wrong with that it's just the food chain.

Sounds just like the PRNJ's Gun Control "scheme" (as the courts refer to it, very correctly) whereas the sworn cops can have and carry them, the politicians (if they wish) can carry them, the protectors of the rich can carry them, the rich can carry if they want, and then at the bottom of the pile, are we the subjects who cannot carry unless we can can show "justifiable need" The PRNJ Firearm Foodchain. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RUTGERS95 890 Posted February 24, 2020 12 hours ago, fishnut said: I understand your point but I dont think you have read NJ 4:22 therefore you are speaking about something that you are uninformed about. Definitely no PETA member here I have been a licensed hunter for 24 years and fishing for longer than that. NO, in fact it's quite the opposite here and I'd argue you really don't understand what your reading or thinking this through. to another comment later on, they are creating separate groups of people which is clearly not permitted by a multitude of rulings at state and federal levels. This is what Nappen needs to go after Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I'm ok with people who are convicted of animal cruelty losing their 2A rights. As I stated in my first post people who commit animal cruelty do not possess good decision making skills therefore they should not have access to firearms. Are you ok with someone owning firearms when they intentionally dont provide shelter, food or water to an animal for so long that the animal dies of exposure, starvation or dehydration? I'm in favor of a penalty.....fine, jail, other...…...but never taking away a "Right" of mine.....can't believe your thinkin'. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Underdog 1,593 Posted February 24, 2020 Abusing animals is horrible and those that do it should face criminal charges. And, those that have animal abuse in their background should be assessed for their mental status, however, linking anything other than a felony conviction of aggravated animal cruelty concerning animals (on its own merit) should not be grounds for barring firearms ownership. By the way, why stop there, Leftists. Anyone charged and convicted with animal cruelty should be barred from voting and running for politics. As with anything "Progressive" and "leftists", look at all possible options/actions and/or non-options and the wrong thing and the wrong focus and the wrong logic will always be applied. Lets, instead, focus on the actual animals that use firearms, and in particular "abusive" way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NUTS Not really, the definitions and qualifications are all spelled out so there is not much left for a judge to interpret and the majority of all animal cruelty is not a disorderly persons offence(misdemeanor) they are inditable criminal charges(felony) so currently most people found guilty of animal cruelty are prohibited from owning firearms.

10X 3,296 Posted February 24, 2020 I’m all for vigorous prosecution and stiff penalties for cruelty to animals, but not for linking that to suspension of 2A rights. There is no logical connection. Is loss of the right to free speech, a free press, the right to assemble, or practice religion ever considered as an add-on punishment? No How about we make violators quarter soldiers in their homes without their consent? Or subject them to unreasonable search and seizure, or maybe take away their right to not self-incriminate? Maybe we deprive violators of the right to a speedy trial, or a trial by jury? Or maybe declare that rights not delegated by the constitution to the federal or state government will NOT be reserved to people who violate certain statutes. Why is it always second amendment rights that are targeted? 2 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sniper 6,372 Posted February 24, 2020 GUN BILLS STALL IN SENATE COMMITTEE At today's meeting of the NJ Senate Law and Public Safety Committee, S120 (increases penalties for leaving firearms within access of a minor) was not heard and the bill was "held." Our sources indicate it was held because anti-gun lawmakers intend to pursue more aggressive legislation on the subject instead in the future. Also, a hearing began on S746 (prohibits firearms ownership for mere "disorderly persons" offenses toward animals), but after fundamental questions were raised about the scope of the bill, the legislation was also "held" and the bill sponsor agreed to go back to the drawing board on it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What about voting? Or writing? Or even owning other animals? (Can those convicted as DP under 4:22 continue to own pets?) I get it though. Those that typically commit animal cruelty offenses are scum of the earth. I don’t see anyone justifying their actions and most would agree with any punishment as long as it was justified.

No, currently a person who is convicted in NJ of animal cruelty can not legally own another animal in NJ. Unfortunately in my experiance though it is plead down and sometimes is even allowed to get back their pet. Thanks to the NJSPCA thankfully they are gone now, hopefully it's not as common anymore. Why the 2A? because historically convicted criminals lose their 2A rights. As I've said several times most of the violations in 4:22 will already result in a.loss of 2A rights because they are already crimes. Voting, yes they can still vote.

You said your in favor of taking ones rights away by putting them in jail so I guess the same reason as you. I'll ask again what type of crime do you think someone should lose their 2A rights for committing? Do you think convicted murders and rapists should retain their 2A rights?
