1. well, WTF?

It's ok to torture them because they were in a slaughterhouse? I'm not getting the logic there..does that mean it's ok for prison inmates to force sex on other inmates, as long as they're on death row? Or maybe let's justify playground bullying. "Well, Mrs. Smith, we are going to allow the bully to continue stealing your son's money. After all, he is destined to be a loser, so what the hell."
