Well it depends on what Taylor killed. If it was an ant or a bug, then yeah there's nothing wrong with that. But if it was a cat or a larger animal then it's not right :evil: If you've squashed ants, the do what Taylor did if you think it's okay...

It was a bit more than an ant or bug that he kicked to death.

For arguments sake. Why would it be okay to kill a bug and not a cat. when the MOTIVE is exactly the same. You are not going to eat it and you are not killing it because it is injured and won't survive and hence saving it from pain. You are killing this bug because you ENJOY it.

I am GUESSING that the logic you are using here is that there are
(a) Lots of ants and bugs hence its okay to kill a few
(b) Ants and bugs are "less equal" than other animals/insects.

I am not sure why you would think it is ok to kick an animal to death for no other purpose than enjoyment. Violence towards animals is often a precursor of violence towards humans. Animal cruelty is not a sign of a healthy individual.
